REQUIEM FOR AΝ UNKNOWN BABY, FOR PEACE, AND FOR LOGIC

LACRIMOSA DIES ILLA...

CONFUTATIS MALEDICTIS
FLAMMIS ACRIBUS ADDICTIS
VOCCA ME CON BENEDICTIS

ΤΗΝ ΗΜΕΡΑ ΕΚΕΙΝΗ ΤΩΝ ΔΑΚΡΥΩΝ...

ΟΤΑΝ ΟΙ ΚΑΤΑΡΑΜΕΝΟΙ ΘΑ ΕΧΟΥΝ ΣΙΩΠΗΣΕΙ,
ΠΑΡΑΔΟΜΕΝΟΙ ΣΤΙΣ ΠΙΚΡΕΣ ΦΛΟΓΕΣ,
ΚΑΛΕΣΕ ΜΕ ΜΑΖΙ ΜΕ ΤΟΥΣ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΥΣ

ON THAT SORROWFUL DAY...

WHEN THE CURSED WILL HAVE BEEN SILENCED
GIVEN UP TO THE BITTER FLAMES
CALL ME ALONG WITH THE INNOCENT

SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS:

1. WHO WOULD "WIN" IF THE HIDEOUS TERRORIST PLAN TO BLOW UP THE AIRPLANES AND KILL INDISCRIMINATELY HUNDREDS OF UNSUSPECTING CIVILIANS HAD SUCCEDDED?????? THE PALESTINIANS??????????? THE LEBANESE????????????? OR THE ISRAELIS???????????????????

2. WHY NEARLY EVERY GOVERNMENT VERBALLY CONDEMNS THE WAR, BUT PRACTICALLY *NOBODY* REACTS, *NOBODY* PRESSURES ON ISRAEL IN ORDER TO STOP THIS CRIMINAL WAR? NOT EVEN THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE ARAB COUNTRIES?

3. WHY ARE WE, THE *CITIZENS* OF THE WESTERN COUNTRIES, SO IMPOTENT TO STOP THE TERROR? *WHY* OUR GOVERNMENTS IGNORE SO BLATANTLY OUR DEMAND FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE????? WHERE THE HELL IS OUR "DEMOCRACY"??????????

4. WHERE WILL ALL THIS INNOCENT BLOOD FLOW TO? HOW MUCH MORE HATRED IS THERE STILL FOR THIS WAR TO GENERATE, FOR HOW MANY GENERATIONS TO COME? HOW MUCH MORE HATRED, DEATH, AND PAIN IS THERE TO COME? AND ALL THIS, FOR REAL-ESTATE REASONS???????????????

Hanady Salman, a journalist from Beirut, editor of the As-Safir newspaper, wrote this yersterday:

...In the newspaper, the two generators we have are out of order and they’re cutting the electricity in some 15 minutes. So, I’m writing this in a hurry. I feel so angry for what happened in London’s airport this morning. No words can describe my fury. I wish I could undo it all. I just can’t. All I can do is sit here, write my messages, try to get them through for those who care to read them, and pray I would still have an internet connection to do so for as long as possible. Last night I had a terrible thought: YOU ARE THE ONLY FRIENDS I HAVE LEFT. EVERYONE ELSE LEFT THE COUNTRY, EXCEPT FOR RULA. I feel we’re falling apart, one town after the other, one house after the other, one person after the other. But I know that deep inside, none of us lost faith : we know who our enemy is, we know what it’s capable of, and we know that this enemy knows that no matter what it does we will prevail....

LEBANESE REFUGEE CHILDREN...... "PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
HOWEVER, WHO CAN POSSIBLY BLAME THEM???????
THEIR COUNTRY IS BEING INVADED AND DESTROYED,
THEIR PEOPLE ARE BEING MURDERED
IN THE NAME OF.... *WHAT????????*
