Syria silent over Lebanon's 'Cedar Revolution'

Syria remained silent about the downfall of its puppet government in Lebanon today after Prime Minister Omar Karami was brought down by people power dubbed The Cedar Revolution.

With shouts of "Syria out!" 25,000 protesters last night massed outside the parliament in Beirut in a dramatic display of defiance that forced out the pro-Syrian premier and his cabinet, two weeks after the assassination of a popular politician touched off increasing unrest.
