An anti-US demonstration in Beirut: they are leftists so don't be scared

  Harakat Ash-Sha`b (a leftist, Arab nationalist party in Lebanon) and other leftist and Arab nationalists allies held a protest against the imminent US attack on Syria. Of course, none of your Western correspondents in Beirut (all allies and parrots of the reactionary March 14 coalition) will cover it.  One banner says: "We lived to see the day when Saud [Al-Faysal, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Horrors) distributed [national identities] (this refers to a statement last week in which this Saud Al-Faysal guy maintained that Syria is no more Arab--ironic, given the history of House of Saud against the Arab nationalism of Nasser and of others).  Another banner says: "America is the enemy of humanity".  Another one reads: "Syria is not alone".
