Today is the 14 March 2008!
Three years already since the start of our revolution.
Revolution?
Is it revolutionary in this millennium to want to be free and independent?
Is it revolutionary to want to decide our own destiny? To choose the way we want to live?
Is it revolutionary to refuse that our people, journalists and intellectuals be killed on their way back home?
There is nothing revolutionary about wanting our basic human rights.
But it is a huge revolution to want to be free in the middle of totalitarian and military regimes, to want to be prosperous in the middle of poverty, to want to feel the joy of life in the middle of terrors and horrors, to want to be a mixed and tolerant society in the middle of extremism and fanaticism, and to want to have peace in the middle of wars.
Yes this is our Revolution that we started.
14 March 2005 was and will remain the expression of our Uprising for Life.
The uprising of our free will against the power of oppression.
The uprising of justice against impunity.
The uprising of our faith in ourselves against our fears and our doubts.
Yes, that is what it was.
A Lebanese Uprising in its context. But oh so Universal in its appeal.
How many people and nations have had to go through their own uprising too?
And how many are still oppressed and enslaved? Having not yet started to stand up!
Three years have passed, and our struggle is still ongoing.
Three years have passed, and our freedom is still not earned.
Three years have passed, and our blood is still spilling.
But in this day we feel blessed and grateful because we are still alive and free in our hearts.
And in this day we feel happy because we know, and we believe, that the rainbow is yet to come.
And in this day we remember our martyrs one by one. And we promise them not just a victory, but a Beautiful Victory.
A victory that will make them smile in their graves, and cry from happiness, and dance from joy.
Yes this is what we feel today.
And this is what we promise.
And this is how we continue, today, and always.
Hasta la Victoria, Siempre
…
To all of us who are fighting their way through life, and rising up for what we love and for what we believe.

With love
