Hail the Cedar revolution

History beckons for bold Lebanese - World - www.smh.com.au

These were great scenes as a mass of peaceful protestors brought about a resignation of their pro-Syrian prime minister. People are hailing it the Cedar revolution and it is the first time in history that an Arabic speaking people brought down their leaders by mass protest. This is really a history making event and a victory for people power. Even more suprising is the fact that when looking for a successor an outside chance may be a woman.
