The
WCCR offers the Gemayel Family and the Worldwide Lebanese
community our most sincere and heartfelt condolences at this
occasion of the assassination of Minister Pierre Gemayel MP, one
of Lebanon’s brightest, most loyal and productive political
performers.
This brutal
assassination at such a time has been mercilessly executed as a
blatant attack against the freedom of the people of Lebanon, to
deliver a message of attempting to kill off Lebanon’s sacred
Independence, from the control and hegemony of terrorist militias
and tyrannical regimes who hunger for the destruction of this
beautiful land and converting it into a dictatorial state.
How long can loyal
Lebanese families continue to supply their nation’s struggle for
liberation, with the blood and ultimate sacrifice of the young
politicians who dedicate themselves to building a better future
for their people? These ruthless assassins believe that they are
driving a nail in the coffin of the nation of Lebanon by killing
off their successful young ministers and parliamentarians, thus
leaving a potential political leadership vacuum for the future.
The Prime Minister and
his government could ask themselves the question of the importance
of an effective UNSC Resolution which would have empowered the
UNIFIL to disarm everyone with the exception of the Lebanese Army.
How long can the
nation continue to remain calm in the face of continued
assassinations and massacres, the intentions of which are the
decimations of the custodians of Lebanon’s sovereignty,
independence and democratic freedoms? In the hearts and minds of
all freedom loving Lebanese, this loss weighs heavy, yet, wisdom
would dictate that patience and calm should be the order of the
day.
How long can the
United Nations Security Council, who was established to protect
smaller democracies from the savages of ruthless dictators,
continue to procrastinate fulfilling their responsibilities
towards the people of Lebanon? Surely, the time has come. Surely,
the time is NOW to inject Chapter 7 into the UNSCR 1701 mandate
and give real bite to the security and protection to the
government and the democratic people of Lebanon.
When will the super
powers of the world begin to realize that Lebanon is the first
step in the domino principle of toppling over democracies in the
grandiose plans of fundamentalist dictators who wish to rule the
world by fear of the sword? The time has come for the US and
Europe to take stock of these policies. The fact of the matter is
that there is too much latitude being given to terrorist nations
and their leadership, in negotiations, for these countries have no
intention of coming to the party except on their own terms; and
those terms are, complete domination of the free world.
This is not a time for
soft bellies. This is a time for leaders with conviction to take
action accordingly and save the world from enormous destruction
and devastation; as well as protection of a cherished way of life,
democracy and freedom under the rule of law.
