#2 I don't know, AP. I can think of one instance, back in the late 1700's when less than 200 successfully stood up to take a stand against a much more powerful army.

#3 "A growing exodus of Syrian workers, fearful they will be scapegoated for the killing of Hariri, threatens to cost Lebanonâs construction and agriculture sectors millions of dollars.
