Tfeh! Instead of going to the demo and listen to empty slogans and false promises you should have demanded out loud the immediate ELECTION of a president, the OPENING of parliement...etc. When will you ever learn, neither M14 and especially not M8 can bring freedom, independence, sovereignty...etc to Lebanon.

Thank for speaking my mind. I am a die hard M14 supporter. But I have been let down by the cowardly stance that its leadership (Sanioura/Hariri) has been taking. joseywales,

From what i've seen on TV, and I was surprised, there was as much people as 3 years ago, maybe slightly less. it is a successfull day for M14, and now that they know they have the support of the people, time to have new parliamentary elections and THEN a presidential election of someone within march 14... But hey, they were wussies 3 years ago, and from sanioras and hariris talk about ebn el char... mughniyeh, nothing seems to have changed.
