Soldiers take a rest below a portrait of Prime Minister Fuad Saniora as clashes between pro government and the Hezbollah led opposition continue throughout Lebanon for a second day leaving many parts of Beirut and other towns and villages deserted on Wednesday May 8, 2008. A general labor strike that was called for yesterday has expended into armed confrontation between the two groups. Much of the country is cut off and the airport remains closed. (UPI Photo)
