Remember Samir Kassir
It's one thing to know intellectually that people in the Middle East are dying for their freedom, and quite another to hear of the murder of someone you've met, someone who a few weeks ago was sitting across from you at a table sharing ideas.

Samir Kassir, a founding member of Lebanon's Democratic Left movement, was assassinated by car bomb in Beirut a few days ago. Jim Hake and Michael Totten met with Samir the first day that they were in Lebanon to support the Cedar Revolution and lend the support of SoA to that cause.
Michael provide more details on this tragic death and how it affected him personally in a blog post "Remembering Samir Kassir".
Our deepest sympathies go out to Samir's family and all of those who fought alongside him, and will continue to fight, for Lebanon's freedom.
