"But the most interesting thing about this protest was that the demonstrators were flying pictures of Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah next to those of the late Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser - the army officer who became a symbol of Arab pride and independence from Western influence back in the 1950s.

Is Nasrallah then becoming a new kind of Nasser? Like Nasser, Nasrallah is a charismatic and populist politician who knows how to rouse the masses with fiery speeches."
