BEIRUT, Lebanon - Nearly 500,000 pro-Syrian protesters waved flags and chanted anti-American slogans in a central Beirut square Tuesday, answering a nationwide call by the militant Shiite Muslim Hezbollah group for a demonstration to counter weeks of massive rallies demanding Syrian forces leave Lebanon.
Organizers handed out Lebanese flags and directed the men and women to separate sections of Riad Solh Square. Loudspeakers blared militant songs urging resistance to foreign interference. Demonstrators held up pictures of Syrian President Bashar Assad and signs saying, "Syria & Lebanon brothers forever."
Other placards read: "America is the source of terrorism"; "All our disasters are from America"; "No to American-Zionist intervention; Yes to Lebanese-Syrian brotherhood."

Black-clad Hezbollah guards handled security, lining the perimeter of the square and taking position on rooftops. Trained dogs sniffed for bombs.
Large cranes hoisted two giant red-and-white flags bearing Lebanon's cedar tree. On one, the words, "Thank you Syria," were written in English; on the other, "No to foreign interference."
Participants stressed that the foreign influence they referred to was from the United States, France and other countries, not Syria, which they welcomed.
"Syria should not leave. We are one hand and one people," said 16-year-old Esraa Awarki, who traveled by bus from Sharkiya in southern Lebanon. "Why do they want us to split now?"
The demonstration was in front of U.N. offices. Hezbollah opposes the U.N. resolution drafted by the United States and France last year calling for Syria to withdraw its 14,000 troops from Lebanon.
In Washington, President Bush (news - web sites) demanded again that Syria pull its troops out of Lebanon and allow free elections. "All Syrian military forces and intelligence personnel must withdraw before the Lebanese elections for these elections to be free and fair," he said Tuesday.
The demonstration came a day after Syrian and Lebanese leaders announced that Syrian forces would transfer to eastern Lebanon before the nations discuss a full withdrawal.
On Tuesday, two senior Lebanese officials said a major redeployment of the Syrian army from central and northern Lebanon would begin late in the day and be completed by March 23.
Lebanese Defense Minister Abdul-Rahim Murad told The Associated Press that "all the force in the (central) mountains and north will move to the Bekaa (Valley) as of 10 p.m." He said that included the main Syrian intelligence offices in Beirut.
Deputy Prime Minister Issam Fares, speaking to LBC television, said the full withdrawal to the eastern valley will be complete before the end of March, "or in other words before the (Arab) summit, which falls March 23."

thats a lot of people. unphased, "Freedom will prevail in Lebanon," Bush declared
he was later quoted as saying "the world is safer, the world is safer, the world is safer" and had to be smacked in the head to stop the repetition |

I wonder what Bush has to say about all this now? is he gonna say that 500,000 people protesting are terrorists and their opinion doesnt count?
He just wants an excuse to attack Syria so he has to make up some bull like how he did for Iraq.:o
It is funny how Bush claims that he is against occupation but yet he has invaded 2 countries himself, and you dont see him pushing Isreal to give back the occupied Palestinian lands.
It all sounds like a another propaganda to me. |

we have nucleur weapons as a deterance. america is not going to use them in a pre-emtive strike to invade different countries on a campaign of imperialism. but for countries like iran and north korea, which are rogue nations with numerous terrorist activity going on, i dont think, ide want such a country to possess that type of firepower. |

They look at us the exact same way. There are two sides to the story and no Bush isn't a mass murder himself and Saddam might be but America sure supported him when it served our interests. We're the only country to ever use nuclear force so for us to try and take every else's nukes away or stifle their defense programs if extremly hypocritical. |
