Cedar, lots of it

More than 800,000 people surged into central Beirut to demand an end to Syria's near-three decade military domination of Lebanon.

"Hizbollah organised a giant demonstration last Tuesday to intimidate us," said Nada, 35, as she travelled to Beirut from Zahle in the east.

"Today we're taking up the challenge and invite (Hizbollah) to join us because we represent the true majority of the country."

Organised? You bet.
