Only the Cedars
Revolution can stop the misery of Lebanon
The movement of the Lebanese
people in 2005 that got the name ¨Cedars Revolution¨ by many
Lebanese and international observers were successful in one main
thing that would change a train of wrongness in Lebanon. Lebanon had
been captured in the hand of its bigger neighbour Syria. For 15
years Lebanon was playing the role as a victim under the tutelage of
the Syrian regime and intelligence apparatus.
The Cedars Revolution put an
end to all that. The nightmare of every Lebanese wanting and longing
to live in peace and freedom were about to end when the people of
Lebanon gathered under the same banners and demanded the same goals.
What the leaders of the
Cedars Revolution didn’t do then and are letting the people pay the
heavy price today was not to complete the mission that would truly
let Lebanon and the Lebanese feel safe and stability.
In 2005 the UNSCR 1559
should have been implemented fully. If it had been that way the
Lebanese people could have been spared from a political war between
the different parties for months culminating with a full scale war
in July 2006 between the Iranian hands in Lebanon, Hezballa and the
Israeli defence force, the IDF.
The Lebanese could also have
been spared the civil cold war that is going on in the country when
this article is being written in the beginning of 2007.
Inside the 1559 Lebanon can
find all the stability it can need.
Only the 1559 has so clear
vision for the future of Lebanon that every Lebanese person that is
not working for any other interest than the Lebanese one should
support.
Lebanon is very complicated
but it doesn’t get any easier when the Syrian regime uses some
Lebanese for the Syrian purpose and Iran using their child Hezballa
to destabilize the region and especially Lebanon.
With this reality the rest
of the Lebanese people are turning their eyes to the UN and the
International community inside the UN including the super powers of
the USA and Russia.
Today, we have seen that the
weapons of the world couldn’t disarm Hezballa and bring stability to
Lebanon. For that reason there must be another strategy for the
Lebanese people to try. The only method that helped before was the
peaceful demonstrations that grew for each day until the Baath army
withdrew in 2005 could and should in year 2007 even if it is a
little bit late come alive again and force the Hezballa militia to
disarm and start to get used to being under the Lebanese law.
