Monday 14 March: PEOPLE WRITING HISTORY

Exactly a month ago, Rafik Hariri was killed by a blast that led to a political tsunami in the region - Today hundreds of thousands of Lebanese from all communities, regions and factions are flooding to Central Beirut to say it loud, Freedom, democracy and independence are what they demand.

Could this be history - is dem0cracy spreading in the Arab World through the gates of Beirut?

Well, it looks like Beirut's movement will succeed in nurturing a new era in this part of the world:

• Syria is withdrawing!
• Most of Lebanese are united (there is still the issue of Hizbullah and his impressive Shiite support)!
• People are freely expressing their demands and concerns

is it that simple? I don't think so but it is a good start....
