Freedom at a cross road

In General Michel Aoun Word "Any existence deprived of freedom is a form of
death"
We will not stand by and watch our country destroy itself under mediocre
leadership that drifts from one crisis to the next, eroding our national will
and purpose. Our people deserve better from those to whom they entrust our
country's highest offices, and we stand united in our resolve to do something
about it.
We need a rebirth of the Lebanese tradition of leadership at every level of
government and in private life as well. I do not believe that the "temporary
majority" desires the presidency, what they desire is the fruits of the
presidency and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines.
Where is the freedom in Lebanon? May be the freedom had turn to a game of word.
Freedom is not the imbalance, freedom is not the one view and one idea, for
liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it
is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the
experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow
men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life
deserves.
What we need in the Lebanon is not division; what we need in Lebanon is not
hatred; what we need in Lebanon is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and
wisdom, and compassion toward one another.
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: "to tame
the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world."
Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our
people.
Lets be Lebanese and only Lebanese lets be proud of who we are … Lebanese first
and Lebanese Second and Lebanese Third. And what General Aoun said couple days
ago on NBN TV lets be "Lebanese first and last" its time to stand up together
Christian and Muslim under one roof the roof of Lebanon. Their lies, deceit and
hypocrisy will not funnel our intelligence we love you General Aoun.
And lets me close by saying as long as we have people like General Aoun the
fight must go on the cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end
of one, or even one hundred defeats.
