The strike begins

The escalation in Lebanon's opposition protests is underway.

The Beirut airport road has been blocked in the past hour, and hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets to block entrances to the capital.

I have a feeling this is the crunch point for the regions "moderates". If the demonstrators succeed, and it looks like they will, America's plans for the region will have failed.

Incidentally, the government has accused the security forces of protecting the demonstrators. If that is the case, Siniora and the "14th Shbat" circus have started to crumble... How foolish do Jumblatt and Geagea look now?

Lebanon is going back to the days of the cevilwar for the sake of some people will die,again Lebanon is atool to harm Syria.
