Does Size Really Matter?

When you look back and think about all of the protests and demonstrations we have witnessed since February 2005, all have been massive in size, but size hasn't reaped any returns. You had the sea of heads, waves of flags, and play of words. What was the intention of every protest and what were their accomplishments, heres a rundown:

February 14 2005 -A huge public funeral mass for the Late Rafiq Hariri, Bassil Fleihan and Partners. A reported 1 million attend.

March 8 2005 -A Hizbullah Pro- Syrian rally to thank Syria for its 30 year doings in Lebanon. A reported 1 million attend.

March 14 2005 -An Anti-Syrian and Pro-Independence Protest in response to the March 8 rally. A reported 1 million plus attend.

Summer 2005 - Mass funerals for Samir Kassir and George Hawi. Tens of thousands attend.

Winter 2005 -Mass funeral for Gebran Tueni. Tens of thousands attend.

February 14 2006 -A One Year Tribute to Honour the Late Rafiq Hariri and his Martyrs. A reported 1 million attend.

September 22 2006 -A Divine Victory Rally organized by Hizbullah to celebrate their victory over Israel. A reported 1 million attend.

December 1 2006 -A Hizbullah led sit-in protest to topple the Pro-Independence Saniora government. A reported 1 million plus attend.

With over 1 million people hitting the streets more than 7 or 8 times in two years you'd expect some kind of unity, understanding or mere accomplishments, sadly i dont see any. People should really think hard and far before they head back down to one of those squares, or atleast know why they are there. I dont think sending 8 million people (twice Lebanons population) down to the streets has accomplished anything. Maybe if we just sat home and thought hard of one another and what we wanted as Lebanese, we'd actually get something done. So you see Size doesn't matter.
