Lokman Slim, Hizbollah's henchmen may assassinate you, but they can never kill your spirit. They sought their barbarism will scare others and silence opposition; instead your exceptional bravery taught their brainwashed sheep followers the meaning of courage, independence and dignity. You lived and died free, they live in fear and required to be obedient servant of their master living in backward and oppressive environment no questions asked. You will always be the mirror illustrating Lebanese Shiaa's heritage, civility and intellectual depth while reflecting their barbarism, ignorance and brutal Basij culture. We miss you! We hope your sister can be your voice at Cedar Revolution II peaceful march next month.
