For the first time in the history of Lebanon, the Lebanese feel that they have the power to decide their fate, |
The Lebanese, during their uprising, went too far, as they put in question all police regimes in the Arab world which risked to reflect badly on Syria. |
The opposition sees the response to this new crime should be the resignation of the president as the effective head of the security and the intelligence regime. |
The opposition sought to exploit the achievements of the upheaval, so it brokered a deal in Paris in mid-April, which allowed the Lebanese-Syrian police regime to buy time. |
This was a second independence for us, and one that was made by the Lebanese people. It can only mean that accountability and democracy will advance. |
