The Deputies of Disgrace

Ibrahim al-Amine - al-Akhbar

It is not a matter of democracy. No democracy with justice. It is neither a political affair. No power coexists with a killer. What was built by killers is a mirage we are still after each day! It is not a matter of the right to make a choice. There no such right to choose death or its maker. It is a matter of mankind and man's sacred right to live, to refuse killing, and to reject the killer. It is the matter of the victims' right to stop being killed every morning.

Amnesty-what an amnesty-does not erase the atrocious act, the obnoxious act, the dark act. An apology doesn't either. The only opportunity given to the killer through amnesty is self-responsibilization. It is a punishment, where there is no hiding, no isolation. Today, the Lebanese witness a first, where the killer is given the right to commit again what he did.

Today, people test a sample of those they have chosen as standing at the threshold of a new stage of gory madness and sensing their foreheads where D.I.S.G.R.A.C.E. is written. He who accept, whether willingly or by force, to choose a murderer as the head of the state is the epitome of disgrace!

He who elects today the killer of a president of the republic is an animal's dead body, only with the features of human being. It is a thing that has no name, no quality, but only a tool with not even a sound. And even if it makes some noise, it won't be heard, even if it calls for the rights of the murdered; and it won't be heard if it asks for a future or a life!

You are on the list of disgrace, you who carry the name of the nation's representatives, as you choose the killer of noble people from this nation. You are nothing but partners in this incessant crime. And you are nothing but the ash of the fire that has devoured your children.

The one you have in mind has no name, no quality, no job, but one: he is the killer! You embody the shame you tell us it is only washed by blood. You are the heirs of killers and murderers so that you take in the disgrace that hits you name by name, image by image!
