Scene in Beirut: the "pro-democracy" March 14 coalition



When Hizbullah was in the opposition and its supporters were holding peaceful demonstrations--demonstrations, mind you--the US ambassador in Lebanon and various US officials were outraged.  They would constantly urge people in Lebanon to respect the "democratic process" in Lebanon and they would urge that governments can't be changed by force.  Of course, the picture above was not in Western media.  And I noticed that Hariri and Saudi media took shots of the crowd while making sure that no flags of Al-Qa`idah were allowed in the picture and Western media did the same.
