The Cedar Revolution is happening now
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of anti-Syrian protesters, chanting "truth, freedom, national unity," flooded central Beirut Monday in Lebanon's biggest rally since an ex-premier was killed a month ago.
The biggest revolution in the Middle East maybe?
This is the result of a long happening evolution in this country.
When I was in Beirut 2 years ago, I learned that Christians and Muslims are still opposed to each other, but their point of unity is surely 'Syria needs to go out'. The revolution of today comes not as a surprise but as a logic event in a well developed country, controlled by a very conservative kingdom.
I stick to my point that AlJazeera is having a certain influence in independent news reports, which are clearly still colored, but yet much more reliable then former sources.
The Middle East is shaking with these events.
Arafat died and gave space to a new leadership.
Hariri was killed and leads to the start of a free Lebanon.
Iran is surely moving too.
