A Million Points of Light

I can't refuse it
What are we going to be?
Feel like dancing
Come dance with me
Feel like dancing
Dance 'cause we are free
--Bob Marley

The Cedar Revolution is one up on the terror squad:

BEIRUT, Lebanon Mar 14, 2005 — Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators chanted "Freedom, sovereignty, independence," and waved a sea of Lebanese flags in Beirut on Monday, the biggest anti-Syrian protest yet in the opposition's duel of street rallies with supporters of the Damascus-backed government.
---------------------------
While there were no official estimates of the size of the crowd, Lebanon's leading LBC TV station and some police officers estimated it at about 1 million people. The officers refused to speak publicly because it was an opposition rally. An Associated Press estimate by reporters on the scene put the number at much higher than the approximately 500,000 who attended the March 8 pro-Syrian rally.

1 million! That's a big chunk for a country so small.

.....this country of 3.5 million.

Whoa. Score one for the opposition. Here's a question, though. There's only about 1 million Christians in the whole country, and I know there are many sunnis joining them but...I'm wondering where the Shia establishment is at? Are they all backing the Syrians? Reuters just doesn't say. In case you are thinking "What's up with Lebanon, anyways?" here's some background from the CIA factbook. Interesting stuff.

Oh, and where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where to go?
To the side of a hill
Blood was spilt
We were still looking
At each other

Oh, we're goin' back there
