Huge pro-Assad Rally Held in Damascus
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Tens of thousands of people rallied Tuesday in central Damascus in support of President Bashar Assad, a day after he offered a national dialogue to end Syria's political crisis, an Agence France Presse correspondent said.
Omeyyades Square was turned into a sea of pro-Assad demonstrators, waving Syrian flags and the president's portrait, chanting, "We will sacrifice ourselves for you, Bashar!"
State television said a huge demonstration in support of Assad was also being held in Homs, a flashpoint city north of Damascus.
In a speech Monday, three months into anti-regime protests and a crackdown by security forces that has cost hundreds of lives, Assad said a national dialogue could lead to a new constitution but refused to reform Syria under "chaos."

Tens of thousands for Assad versus hundreds of thousand against him, this reminds me o the March 8 protests that were easily outnumbered by the Cedar Revolution. Plus it's easy to protest when you get paid to and the military and police is not killing you for doing so like they are with the opposition.
