	World Wide Words: Cedar revolution
		The earliest of this set was velvet revolution, referring to a non-violent political revolution, especially the events leading to the end of communist rule in Czechoslovakia in 1989.
		We have recently had, among others, the rose revolution in Georgia in 2003, the orange revolution and chestnut revolution, both in Ukraine in 2004, and, briefly, the purple revolution, which referred to Iraqis who raised their purple-stained fingers to show that they had voted in their country’s recent election.
		Cedar revolution refers to opposition to the Syrian presence in Lebanon; it appeared in early March 2005 in the US State Department’s publication Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004, in reference to the famous Biblical cedars of Lebanon, which are also featured on that country’s flag.

	Science Fair Projects - Cedar Revolution
		Cedar Revolution is the name given to the chain of demonstrations and popular civic action in Lebanon (mainly Beirut) triggered by the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri on February 14, 2005.
		The Cedar Revolution is also known by some media outlets [4] as the Cedar Spring in reference to the prevailing season when protests first broke out, and also as an allusion to famous freedom and independence movements like the Prague Spring; althought, it did not technically begin in the spring.
		In this sense, the Cedar Revolution may also prove to be a dividend of the Bush administration's global war on terror, however, as stated previously, Jumblatts views are not entirely respected as they seem to change regularly.

	Has Lebanon's Cedar revolt come undone? \| csmonitor.com
		The Cedar Revolution was a reaction of outrage at the assassination of Rafik Hariri, a former prime minister who was killed in a bomb explosion on Valentine's Day 2005.
		The revolution was slickly organized with an ad agency that helped shape the campaign, adopting the colors red and white along with a slogan "Independence '05." The protests were notable for attracting a large number of middle-class professionals, people not normally associated with street demonstrations.
		Unlike the participants of the Cedar Revolution, the vast majority of the opposition's supporters are drawn from the poor rural areas of south and east Lebanon, lending a class-based distinction to the sit-in.

	Lebanonwire.com \| "Cedar revolution" hits Syrian sapling exports
		MAYSALOUN, Syria - Last year's "cedar revolution" brought a new crisis for relations between Lebanon and Syria, and a new headache for a small tree nursery on the border between the fractious Middle East neighbours.
		Five thousand cedar saplings at the Maysaloun nursery on the Damascus-Beirut road have been waiting for months to be transported to Lebanon, unexpected victims of the renewed animosity that divides the two countries.
		The nursery, which grows fir, cypress as well as cedar, is nestled among hills where France's Army of the Levant, composed mainly of Senegalese soldiers, crossed from Lebanon and defeated a hopelessly under-equipped Syrian force in the 1920 Battle of Maysaloun, starting a 26-year occupation of Syria.

		In Lebanon, we see growing momentum for a 'cedar revolution' that is unifying the citizens of that nation to the cause of true democracy and freedom from foreign influence.
		There's a vital difference between a democratic revolution which is peaceful, authentic and generated by people inside a country and one that is imposed, or kick-started, by a military invasion and occupation.

		Following 9/11, the revolution was brought violently to the periphery of the Middle East, in Afghanistan.
		The Cedar Revolution in Beirut has now toppled Syria's puppets in Lebanon, and I will be surprised and disappointed if we do not start hearing from democratic revolutionaries inside Syria — echoed from their counterparts in Iran — in the near future.

	"Cedar revolution" hits Syrian sapling exports (Site not responding. Last check: )
		MAYSALOUN, Syria (Reuters) - Last year's "cedar revolution" brought a new crisis for relations between Lebanon and Syria -- and a new headache for a small tree nursery on the border between the fractious Middle East neighbors.
		Depicted on Lebanon's national flag, the cedar also became a symbol of anti-Syrian feeling during protests in Beirut after the assassination last year of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, in which Syria denies involvement.
		But Mohra said cedar exports had remained largely unaffected until Hariri's killing and the subsequent withdrawal of Syrian forces from Lebanon under domestic and international pressure.

	The cedar revolution is driven by what Lebanese people love, not hate - Opinion - www.smh.com.au
		The cedar revolution has been a chilling turning point in Lebanese history, with the assassination of Rafik Hariri, followed by an interdenominational voice under one flag demanding the end of Syrian occupation, culminating in the resignation of the pro-Syrian prime minister Omar Karameh.
		The most pointed dart that has been fired alleges that the cedar revolution is predominantly Maronite - an irony given that it was the Maronites who invited Syria to Lebanon in the first place.
		In a region plagued by chessboard-like politics, where successive empires keep remapping the terrain as if it were terra nullius, the people of the cedar revolution have drawn the line in the sand with their flagpoles.

	Now comes the true test of the Cedar Revolution \| International News \| News \| Telegraph
		The White House, then still promoting the view that democracy was the key to ending anti-US hatred in the Middle East, eagerly embraced the protest movement and dubbed it the Cedar Revolution.
		The cedar tree motif is closely associated with just one of the country's factions, the Christian phalange, and the name never really caught on across the entire Lebanese population.
		So while the assassination of Mr Gemayel yesterday was shocking, it fitted into a pattern of bombings and assassinations that suggests Lebanese politics did not undergo a revolution in the heady days of spring 2005.

		In a land where civil war is endemic but political protest is almost unknown, long-feuding Muslims, Christians and Druze are camping out just blocks from the parliament saying they will not leave until either Syrian troops leave their country or the government falls.
		Inspired by December's Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Rose Revolution in Georgia a year earlier, the protesters have begun to call their action the "Cedar Revolt" in a tribute to the tree that adorns the Lebanese flag.
		Surprisingly, the Cedar Revolution is receiving less press coverage than Ukraine's Orange Revolution.
