Got to love the BBC for their support of the occupation of another country:
"Huge Beirut protest backs Syria
Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, to applaud Syria's role in the country and reject Western "interference".
"We are here to thank Syria which has stayed by our side for many years," the head of the Syrian-allied Hezbollah group told cheering supporters.
The crowd dwarfed previous opposition protests urging Syrian troops to leave. "

Others have a different take on the situation:
"Deconstructing Demonstration Day
The other shoe dropped in Lebanon, Sunday. (Or was it one of those curly toed slippers?)
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the bespectacled, boyish-looking leader of Hezbollah, decided there had been enough "liberation" euphoria in Lebanon the past few weeks, so he said, "Enough!"
Nasrallah, speaking from his fortified "stronghold" in southern Beirut, condemned, without the slightest sense of irony, "foreign interference" in Lebanese affairs while in the same breath calling for a massive demonstration backing Syria.
He wants the people of Lebanon to take to the streets Tuesday to "express their gratitude" to Damascus and their condemnation of UN Resolution 1559, which calls for Syrian withdrawal from the country.
The demonstration, now a few hours away, promises to be a showcase of raw power on the part of Hezbollah and possibly Syrian intelligence operatives, who will be herding people in front of the television cameras."

These terrorists just don't get it, their ploy is going to backfire, and BBC is showing it's true colors.
