He knew how to pick the right words for everything, he knew his martyrdom was coming ..
I have no words to describe this colossal loss for Lebanon … He was the driving force behind the Cedars Revolution, he was its fiercest defender, and he died believing in it and in us .. the Lebanese people …

Rest in Peace ya Gebran.

I keep remembering Bashir when Gebran Tueni is mentioned, for the charisma both men had, for the honesty and straight forwardness, for the courage and boldness both had .. and for the immortal martyrs they have become ..
