    This just isn’t getting the propper amount of news coverage. A third of the population may have shown up for this. Thats big news. Certainly more interesting and important then some woman no longer being held hostage, or michael jackson’s trial.

    Gee, those people look pretty happy to be demonstrating! You sure this isn’t from last summer’s Warped Tour?

    no wonder the ant-Syrian protesters draw more people… It’s like a Girls Gone Wild video shoot.

    Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo, Nurse! Another reason (pair of reasons?) for the guys in BLT 1/8 to wish that MEU22 (SOC) was active & heading for the area. You know, besides for pay-back to Heballah for the 1983 bombing…

    One of the Canadian on line paper said ther were 8,000,000. A brit paper said 5,000,000. That is 15 to 20 times as many Palistinians as were bused through Isreal last week. Very impressive.

    She is also impressive!
