Sarkozy Inspires the World
A peaceful people cried out for their freedom. Across the Mediterranean, a man heard their cries and took it upon himself to protect the Libyan people from a monstrous tyrant. He came to their rescue, not because he came from the same background, not because he believed in the same religion; he came because he was a man who believed in justice and liberty. It was a race against time to save a people from the threat of total annihilation. Yes, it was a race against time, but the time wasn’t as late as Saif had said. This despot lived by the ancient doctrine of “rape and pillage,” as we learned from a former minister with a strange name: soldiers were told to kill rape and destroy whatever lay in their path. These were terrifying times; indeed the entire world was fearful. The man across the sea came to the rescue of a powerless people. His brave stand and leadership encouraged the world to act. Due to his aid, they are alive today to extend their most heartfelt gratitude. Two hundred citizens of Benghazi were asked a simple question: What would you say to President Sarkozy if you could speak to him? These are their responses: 35% said they were deeply grateful; 32% said they will never forget him; 23% said that they love him; only 10% said that he could have done more. Personally, I have never been to France and I have never met any French people. Because of this one man’s courageous and generous defiance against a tyrant, I have a wonderful appreciation of the French people. President Sarkozy, God bless you!
