[LCM Articles] It's about time

[Elias Muhanna]

Relevant to this thread, I think, is the recent appearance of billboards 
advertising a new movement: March 11. The idea is that it's supposed to 
represent a growing center of disaffected and frustrated Lebanese 
citizens who find themselves between the polarized positions of March 8 
and March 14 (hence the 11).

I just returned from Beirut and didn't see any of these billboards, but 
that's probably because one becomes desensitized to these things so 
quickly.

Have a look:
