#1  "Angry demonstrators set fire to Lebanon’s Labour Ministry in Beirut today..." OK, this is what I would have run with if I was the one writing headlines. Riot and protest fatalities are a big so-what when we're talking about the Syrian Empire, but the burning of a ministry is a pretty goddamn big deal in my book. The rest of the article makes it sound like Hezbollah is making a move. No sign of Syrian troops, yet.
