Presented to the book President Fouad Siniora who saw in this book "... The Book of Defence for the Capable and Just State, the State in which the martyred President Rafik Hariri believed and worked to be the overarching framework for all Lebanese and their protectors and the guarantor of their prosperous future. Regrettably, however, we are witnessing how the State's role is declining, its prestige is diminishing and it has become hostage and dependent on de facto forces. However, although they have become so, there is still a strong hope among those who believe in their return to play the role that the Lebanese believed in to revive the values of justice, freedom, the rule of law and respect for human rights. Among those believers, Dr. Zidane and many other silent majorities in Lebanon will inevitably return, God willing. " Dr. Fawzi Zidane considers it necessary to "...
