MURDER OF A
NATION, BIRTH OF A NATION
By: Freedom Fighter
Killing one person in a jungle is an unforgivable crime, and killing a whole
nation is a question of national interests. That is the case of the
Syrian-murdered nation of Lebanon as presented on the United States foreign
policy agenda.
The US officials in the Bush, then subsequent administrations, have supported
the Syrian occupation of Lebanon in exchange of, initially the Syrian support
for the Liberation of Kuwait, then later for other regional dark services that
the Syrian dictatorship has provided. These US officials have been accessories,
if not principals, to the murder of Lebanon.
The Israeli officials who sanctioned the Syrian occupation of Lebanon in
exchange of Assad's elimination of all active Palestinian guerilla factions in
Lebanon, then the planned settlement of large number of Palestinians in Lebanon,
are also accessories, if not principals, to the murder of Lebanon.
Everywhere we look in the world in the last 50 years, acts of invasions and
brutality have gone unpunished; the Chinese communist invasion of Tibet, the
Syrian dictatorship's invasion and ethnic cleansing of Lebanon, the Indonesian
invasion of East Timor. Recent history suggests that it takes an armed struggle
culminating in a major genocide to get the attention of the world towards an
injustice, as was also the case in Bosnia and Kosovo. Are these the options that
the world powers would like the Lebanese to pursue? Armed Struggle and genocide?
Are you telling us that in order to get justice we must carry arms and blow up
Syrians anywhere they stand in our country and theirs? East Timor, Bosnia,
Kosovo were not even full nations, yet they obtained their freedoms and the
withdrawal of the foreign occupation troops form their land. The Palestinians
are getting their state. Lebanon on the other hand, a founding member of the
Arab League, a full member of the United Nations, a signatory on many
international treaties, a nation with 30 years of independent history and
diplomatic relations, has been invaded and occupied by a brutal Syrian
dictatorship from the middle ages. The world watched passively and tacitly
acknowledges the fact that Lebanon today, is a Syrian-occupied land with puppet
regimes deserving no respect and serving only the interests of the Syrian
dictatorship.
Yes, the Truth is that after years of bombardment, sabotage, assassinations, and
terrorism, Syria finally invaded Lebanon on October 13, 1990 and has since
maintained an occupation force of 40,000 troops along with thousands more secret
service operatives. On October 13, 1990, hundreds of Lebanese soldiers and
civilians were massacred by the invading Syrian troops in cold blood and after
the cease-fire was declared. Lebanese soldiers corpses that were checked into
hospitals, had their hands tied behind their back and a revolver shot into the
back their heads. Since then, a Dark Age descended upon our land. Thousands of
our people have been arrested, tortured, and killed by the Syrian-imposed
occupation regimes of Hariri and Lahoud and the Syrian secret services. This
world that claims democracy and human rights is nothing but a ferocious beast
that promotes lies, falsehood, and the interests of International Mafias. We
enter the 21st century with great cynicism but also with a renewed determination
to regain our Freedom and live Free under the sun.
We shall never be silent. We reject the Syrian and Israeli occupations of
Lebanon. We refuse to be a commodity on the table, a minor change, a bargaining
chip. We refuse to be committed to the Syrian Gulag! We reject the US and the
world's silence over the brutalities of these two occupations. We hold the
United States of America, France, the Vatican, the European community, and the
International community responsible for the continuing occupation and
assimilation of Lebanon by Syria. We hold the people of the world responsible.
We except they awaken, inform themselves, and demand from their governments a
change in policy that will re-establish the rule of international law and punish
the Syrian dictatorship for its continuing occupation of Lebanon. We shall teach
our children for generations to come about the crimes of the barbaric regime of
Hafez Assad.
October 13 is our day of national mourning, a day of Remembrance and Atonement,
our Yom Kippor, our Holocaust, but also a day of our re-Birth. It is the day,
when our constitutional government of His Excellency Prime Minister Michel Aoun
was overthrown by the foreign Syrian invasion supported by International Mafias
and the dark world powers. The day when the last bastion of Free Lebanon had
fallen. It is the modern day when Cain murdered his brother Able. It is also the
day when we achieved victory by standing firm on our convictions and refusal to
sign away our homeland. We went down valiantly in battle, but we did not
surrender. We safeguarded the right of all Lebanese for independence, freedom,
and human rights. We have lost a battle but we are winning the war. The first
and foremost lasting victory is that we have captured the hearts, minds, and
souls of our people. Our cause is just and humane. We are the beautiful dream
that shall never die, and we are ready to become the nightmare of the world
until it acts to right the wrongs committed against our people.
For all our fallen martyrs and for all the living, we renew our Covenant for a
Free Lebanon. The struggle shall continue for a hundred years if we must. We
proclaim our right to use any mean to liberate our land, and we exclude no
historically legitimate method that any other oppressed people have used. We
promise our people that we shall liberate Lebanon. We shall not rest until the
Light of Freedom has penetrated all the dark alleys of the Middle East. We shall
create a born-again nation with a human face. A Free people with equality,
compassion, and opportunity for all. A democratic state voted by the people,
bound by just laws equally applied to everyone. A Humanistic society where every
individual is cherished regardless of social, economic, ethnic, religious, or
cultural origins.
We the people of Lebanon do ordain our Independence, our Sovereignty, our
Freedom, and 6000 years of history.
Long Live Michel Aoun
Long Live Free Lebanon
