'There are in the Middle East today two challenging ideas: old and new. The old ideas will vanish because they are weak and exhausted. [...]. I tell you that the children of yesteryears are walking in the funeral of the era that they created for themselves. [...]. But the children of tomorrow are the ones called by life [...]. They are few in number, but the difference is as between a grain of wheat and a stack of hay.'
Girban's prophecy started to take place; it was the new defeating the old as the Free Lebanese Patriotic Movement, made of Lebanese residents and expatriates, lobbied in the West to end the Syrian occupation until they succeeded in April 2005.
There is more of Gibran's prophecy waiting to happen, the Syrian occupation may be over but Lebanese with old ideas are still holding Lebanon back. They are those who think like vassals in a fief, and not like citizens of a free nation. These get foreign support, from wherever they can find it, to subdue the Lebanese population and artificially prolong the neo-feudal age in Lebanon.
In collaboration with enlightened residents of Lebanon, Lebanese expatriates who's minds flourished in the west can help permanently replace the old ideas with the new in Lebanon.
To do so the Lebanese in Lebanon must be safe from harm, and the lebanese living abroad must have the right to vote from abroad, in all future Lebanese elections. Join our e-mail campaigns to demand this and other rights of Lebanese people. These are much like petitions*, but with the added effect that a large volume of e-mails has.
