After the Hariri assassination, Lebanese took to the streets in the thousands. The lefty media and major leftyblogs were silent.
Then, last week, the Hezbollah thugocrats drew half a million - maybe - which cause a number of lefty commentators to soil their knickers and declare Bush's foreign policy a disaster yet again. Although according to Claudia Rosett, the pro-thug demonstrators cleared out the moment the rally proper was over, while the democracy protesters have made an endless party of the event.
Today, the pro-democracy the pro-democracy demonstrators are back, in bigger numbers and with greater motivation.
Not a word on any of the big leftyblogs as I write this.
Imagine.

I e-mailed the good folks at the Strib about their failure to include ANY mention of this on the "front page" of their website. Their response consisted of a (mostly AP) story, but again I checked their site, and no mention of the march. Maybe it's there if you look around, but, for crying out loud, they've got a review of a (ugh) Motley Crue concert and a Doug Grow column about leaf blowers.
Yeah, I can definitely see how that would knock a story about nearly 1 million people marching for freedom off the front page.
Sheesh.
