Paul Chehade – Where Is The Shining Beacon Of Freedom?

Paul Chehade – Where Is The Shining Beacon Of Freedom?

Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kiev after deadly clashes in the capital.  Members of Parlient voted to oust him from government, and he has been placed on the international “wanted list” to be tried for “serious crimes” in the International Criminal Court in The Hague.  Yet he still claims to be the rightful leader of government, even as he hides from justice.

Meanwhile, in Venezuela, massive protests calling for the removal from office of President Nicolas Maduro have led to unrest and a large number of civilian deaths, as the armed forces turned their guns against the populace who calls out for freedom.  Demonstrations across the world show the high level of support for our Venezuelan brothers and sisters.

Historically, the United States of America has been the shining beacon of freedom throughout the world.  But that beacon is not shining so brightly right now.  What have we done, as a country, to show solidarity with these two nations who are seeking emancipation from tyranny?  Not a single thing.  So far, the U.S. has taken no action against Ukraine and recently expelled three Venezuelan diplomats, but only after President Maduro first expelled three American diplomats from Caracas.

I ask myself if this is enough, and my conscience yells a resounding “No!” in response.  The American government must use every diplomatic means at its disposal to pressure the Ukrainian and Venezuelan governments to grant their respective people freedom and democracy.  We can bring to bear an overwhelming amount of soft power against these tyrants, but we have chosen to stand on the sidelines as silent by-standers.

The Irish politician Edmund Burke said that “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”  This also holds true of nations.  I fear that our tepid, timid response will come too late to turn the tide of the fight from freedom in Ukraine and Venezuela.  We must act; human decency, charity and our duty to expand liberty across the world demand nothing else.

God Bless America.

He is a political truth and righteous seeker, successful business entrepreneur, humanitarian rights activist and ideologist, polyglot, musician, writer; was and has sophisticated his character by a plan of virtues, which he believes in and continues to practice in order to develop his uprightness which it is the foundation for his solid moral. Such moral is based on respect for the human customs and believes, knowledge, religious tendencies (as long as those do not hurt society but do provide love, brotherhood and progress in peace and harmony) regardless of color, race and culture. His character is based on Temperance, Discipline, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity, and Humbleness. Paul Chehade is a believer of the practical and democratic values of prudence, hard work, education, honesty, spiritual development, self-governing institutions and opposes to authoritarianism both political and religious based on scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment. Paul Chehade supported the idea of basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. Human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and social, cultural and economic rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education and health. Paul Chehade is the Chairman of the Board of a diversity group of corporations since 1999, which are dedicated totally to serve the ill-timed humans, regardless of a person’s religion, race, ethnicity, or gender, as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people, helping communities worldwide. Ethical junction making choices easy. Values & Principles: Paul Chehade was born in a Catholic family. Based on the principles expressed in the Bible, which Paul Chehade has been raised with; profound values and the riches of his Christian traditions lead him to base his desire to serve the community in neighborly love as preached by Jesus Christ. What is required is to return to the old fashion principles on morality, ethics based on respect to all living creature. Being ethical is not the same as doing "whatever society accepts." Being ethical is to follow the rules that respect the human right and integrity. An entire society can become ethically corrupt. Discrimination is a good example of a morally corrupt society. A reform to our values back to basics will provide the standards to a moral and righteous behavior. Education is an avenue. Religious principles of love are also valid. God must prevail in our schools our daily life and our families. The family is the basis of our society and the future of our children therefore of our nation. God Bless America.
