The Council of Lebanese American Organizations is sponsoring a demonstration in front of the Federal Building in Westwood this Saturday between 3 and 6! Let’s support them in their desire to drive out the Syrian Baathists. They deserve it after years of living under those fascist thugs. And, hey, it’s not raining in Los Angeles anymore. Time to soak up some rays!
Meanwhile, the frequently interesting Lebanon Daily Star has a report on anti-Syria protests from the Lebanese diaspora.
UPDATE: BoiFromTroy has the demonstrations already in progress outside his office.

Orange, purple, red and white–the colors of freedom.
Feb 23, 2005 - 11:50 am 5. Terrye:I wish them luck.
Feb 23, 2005 - 2:27 pm 6. Pursuit:I posted about this on my blog this morning. I think its very interesting that Mr. Jumblatt links these changes and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The left was missing from the last 20 years of the cold war as well.
Feb 23, 2005 - 3:39 pm 7. Terrye:I just hope the Syrians don’t start killing people.
Feb 23, 2005 - 4:32 pm 8. Lola:Came across this blog with interesting information out of Lebanon, such as the fact that Walid Jumblatt has sent one of his son to France because he is afraid of assassination attempts . . .
