Braveheart in Beirut

No, no, read the sign.

What I'm wondering is did the signmaker take Mel Gibson as a role model--bad news for Syrian grunts--or are the protestors trying to push our buttons to attract more Western support (which would explain the foreground as well)?

Edit: Link is dead. Picture had a protest babe next to a sign saying "They can take our lives, but they can never take our freedom."

Lebanon is a bit more western than many westerners think. Beirut in particular -- like Zarajevo -- had a cosmopolitan openness in days not far gone by.
