Lebanese are terrorized

Since the assassination of Rafik Hariri and since the end of the Syrian occupation in 2005 and Lebanon has been under attack…

Political assassinations, car bombs and Syrian sponsored Al Qaeda attacks… those are some of the means used to terrorize a whole country…

Until today, I always had the feeling of being secure in my own country despite everything, and that feeling of security was felt among all the people that I know and felt by people’s behavior of refusing to given to fear…

How do you face terror? By refusing to be scared; by refusing to give up on life; by loving life…

Lebanese are known to use the strategy of “life goes on” for decades to overcome wars and insecurity…

But for a reason, maybe we are sick and tired; Lebanese have give in…to fear…

Today, I got a phone call from my son’s school principal…She announced to me with a bitter voice: “School is over…we see no need to keep the students coming under such disastrous circumstances… but the good news is that the “end of the year ceremony” is still on for next Saturday”…

People are afraid to go out at night for a simple dinner or to have a couple of drinks…

People are canceling wedding ceremonies…

People are not going to malls to shop…

Lebanese are paralyzed…numbed by fear…

Lebanese are afraid…Fear is everywhere…

We are losing the battle against the Syrian sponsored terror…
