Tens of thousands of Syrians wave flags during a rally in support of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, who is facing international pressure over neighbouring Lebanon, in central Damascus March 9, 2005. "With our souls and blood we sacrifice ourselves for Assad," chanted the crowds, waving Syrian flags and carrying pictures of their young president, who has pledged to pull his troops out of Lebanon following weeks of anti-Syrian protests in Beirut.
