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
