Lebanon : Help thyself God will help
When the
Lebanese government stormed the oppisition’s TV station MTV on the
2nd of September of the year 2002 , Lahoud was
President , Hariri was prime minister and Walid Jumblatt had a
couple of ministers in the Lebanese Government . This is what I
wrote on September the 5th , 2002:
I call
upon all my Lebanese compatriots , Muslims, Christians , all of us
, let’s raise up and turn the empty table upside down . We have
all been cheated in a big way .We have been taken for an ugly
ride . I call upon all of us to raise up and shout out the truth
to the whole world who forgot that we even exist . For them,
things have been quiet in Lebanon , so what if there is a
kidnapping , an assassination here , or an arrest imprisonment and
a torture there. Business as usual . No sweat. It happens
everywhere right ? look at what is happening in Tibet , look at
what happened to the Kurds look at Taiwan , we call it REAL
POLITIKS ,no dear it is wrong . Lebanon and Syria are after all
two brotherly countries. Let them sort out their problems . Who
cares . No dear we have to care. You didn’t care before about a
lot of injustices , human rights abuses and dictatorships ; the
free world was punished bitterly with 9/11. You better care this
time around. . When people come to a stage where they have nothing
more but their chains to lose , then you better care .
When the
litter hits the fan you will definitely get your share . So , I
urge you : Do care . To my fellow compatriots I say : no other
alternative is left : Help thyself , God will help. I have no
doubt that Hizballah’s leaders are endowed with some wisdom
,clear vision and national allegiance ( ! ! !) . I call upon them
to disarm their troops and deliver their arsenal of weapons -
every single gun in their possession must be delivered to the
Lebanese Army who should have the sole privilege of carrying guns
on Lebanon’s soil- I call upon Hassan Nasrallah to prove to the
world that the Lebanese are peace loving people. No , I am not
dreaming , I want to make myself believ! e that my call would be
heeded before it is too late.
I call
upon our brave and oppressed Lebanese Army , all its soldiers ,
Lieutenants,Colonels and Generals , when the time comes , to
utterly refuse to fire one single shot on the peaceful crowds
and demonstrators marching for justice ,freedom and dignity all
over Lebanon . Do not even shoot in the air . To the Syrian
occupier , its soldiers, security apparatus and its appointees I
tell them : Leave the House before it is too late . The wrath
of the crowd , people’s will is beyond what you can handle or
endure .
Dear
compatriots we all took this dreadful trip . It lasted for too
long . Let’s work it out ,all of us ,let’s salvage this beautiful
but drowning ship . There is no other way but one way . Raise up
and turn the table upside down. What have we got left to loose
except our chains ? Let’s all take this bitter pledge and march
peacefully on the road to freedom. Let’s show the world and prove
to our children that we deserve the Land of the Cedars.
Lahoud
is still president and the Syrian mafia is running amok with
Lebanon . God bless the soul of Mr Hariri , and God save Walid
Jumblatt from any harm.
Long live
the Land of heroes , Long live Lebanon.
