Lebanon, a Ship without a Captain, Left to the Pirates, Its People Exterminated:

Where are those of courage, to put an end to this piracy, negotiate in mutual respect an end to the war, and guide the ship back to reform, safety, and peace?

When any nation is faced with a corrupt, embezzling authority that is criminal against its own people and doesn't represent them, does not the first priority become to replace those in power with others who truly represent them and cares for their interests, with honesty and sincerity?

When a country becomes target to ill reputation, aggression, mockery, and abuse of its people, aren’tthemselves the ones who brought in who could not be trusted with their interests? And thus they fell victim to corruption and found themselves being terrorized, oppressed, plundered, subjugated, debased, enslaved, weakened, humiliated, and dragged into a war that serves neither their interests nor the interest of their small country. Does it not then become like a ship sailing astray in the middle of the tempest without a captain, and with the pirates of that criminal authority wreaking havoc on board?

Doesn't the gravity of what we are going through require that we reconsider those whom we have chosen, and replace them with those decent, brave, competent and wise? Those who have the courage to confront the terror of that authority, in order to save their country and their people from the atrocities of war and the machine of death and destruction?

When a nation is subjected to the ‘heist of the century,’ to the settling of accounts and interests of various countries through a war of ‘scorched earth,’ and to mass killing, destruction and displacement amounting to ‘qualified genocide,’ isn’t what's needed first and foremost is to replace that illegitimate authority with another that represents the nation? Isn’t a new authority needed, one which does not hide behind twisted methods of treason accusations and systematic intimidation? A new authority that wouldn't oppress the true patriots confronting its terrorism and tyranny while it is deeply immersed in the betrayal of a homeland, seeking to serve foreign interests?

When the Lebanese people achieve a great feat in resisting the occupation, and then comes what compromises this entire achievement in the shadow of an absent State and a corrupt authority, would it not be better for those sought after ‘brave ones’ to address the entire world directly in order to dissuade it from colluding against their country? Would it not be better, also, for them to address the occupier directly in order to try insistently to dissuade them from destroying the country and killing its people, in pursuit of a just and fair peace for all? Isn’t this better than hiding behind slogans that have become hollow due to empty populist demagogy that proved worthless?

When all this happens, and screams and moans rise from all sides, and the blood of innocent people is shrouded in blackness and wreathed in tears, and the killing and destruction violate all sanctities, then stronglyarises the need for honesty, boldness and wisdom. And the role of those brave ones becomes dire. Is there any other way of salvation than this?

If yes, then bring it on. If not, then find those brave ones, empower them, and give them your trust before ‘Babylon is completely destroyed!’
