Most of the new nations freed from yoke of colonialism or tyranny more often than not find their roots of freedom in sacrifices with blood tears and sweat. Yes, you are right, a martyr has been created, but who has done it, we are not sure, sometime freedom needs fresh sacrifices, Syrian occupation of Lebanon is far overdue to be thrown into dust bin of history, the forces of change have their own dynamics, some acts of war and terror lead to new conundrums, post 911 was one such occasion where perpetrators had no idea of enormous changes that it brought to the world, similarly some acts of wanton aggression are conducted by mindsets who believe that events can be guarded. Tyrannies have a mindset that is dominated by cells that supports tyrannical regimes, in such cell the will to eliminate opposition is far greater than will to think of consequences, in ME Saddam and Gaddafi are two such glaring examples. Pan AM in case of later and hiding Wmd’s in case of former which he never had only to keep Iran at bay, are two other such examples where intelligent tyrants miscalculated global determination.

The Hariri assassination has all of the hallmarks of a "false flag" operation. Here's a tantalizing clue about the also unresolved Madrid bombing of a year ago: xymphora.blogspot.com *** If I were President (a completely unlikely occurance) the first thing I'd do is to disband all the U.S. covert operations across the planet. This would so shock and awe (as in "aw, gee, isn't that sweet.") the world that terrorism would simply vanish for at least a decade as people tried to recalculate who deserved to be hated enough to be bombed and/or assassinated.. . . . . . . Just kidding. Of course humanity has to continue its remarkable acceleration of self-loathing and jealous aggressions. It's our nature, after all. :)
