BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of flag-waving Lebanese flooded
central Beirut Tuesday for a pro-Syrian rally called by Hizbollah.



Hundreds of thousands?
Hehehe.

The Guardian has it as 500,000. Rather impressive considering Lebanon has
a population of under 4 million.

The event was organized by Hizbollah. What's really sad is that almost 15%
of that country openly supports an organization that uses suicide bombers to
target non-Muslims.
