Why Was the Anti-Syria Pullout Rally Bigger than All the Others?

I'm not suggesting anything. Just asking.

From AP:

Hundreds of thousands jammed a central Beirut square Tuesday, chanting support for Syria and anti-U.S. slogans in a thundering show of strength by the militant group Hezbollah — a rally that greatly outnumbered recent demonstrations against Syria's presence in Lebanon.

I'm sure Bush and Condiliezalot had people there taking names, too.
