i admit to the blanket generalization. And it does have quite broad support in the Shi'ite community. But Shia are no longer defined by their religious views (I think they're the ones that believe only descendants of Mohammed should rule Islamic ppl), but by their jihad against Isreal and the west.
watch the so-called "popularity" of Hizbollah disintegrate after the Lebanese realize that Syria will no longer be calling the shots in their country. It's obviously a guess, but I'd bet that half of the people in the pro-Syria rally were there under pressure of some kind. No way to prove it either way.
