"...Samir Kassir had balls in a country that under Syrian rule spawned cowards and sycophants; he had ideas and openness in a system that rewarded mediocrity and intolerance; and he had the compelling scornfulness for imposed authority that so irritated his murderers--and that we will continue to relish when this cowardly confederacy is kicked into a shallow grave."
I pray that God hastens that confederacy's death and protects those who denounce its injustice.

Good points in Michael Young's piece and extra kudos to him for his bravery, writing what he has in Syrian government controlled, Lebanon.
