"The United States has fulfilled its promise and stood against all forms of dictatorship in this region and defeat them. However, some tyrannies are still exist," Geagea said in his letter to Obama.

"Syria's regime forces led by President Bashar al-Assad are currently engaged in ethnic cleansing, mass rape, systematic torture, (including of infants) leveling of cities upon their inhabitants, and, last but not least, using highly virulent nerve gas, causing mass civilian casualties,” he added.

Geagea pointed out that it another “consequence of the U.S. and the Free World’s inaction is the complete and thorough falling apart of every tenet they have stood for, proselytized, enforced and turned into acquired birth right.”

"There are millions of other victims-in-wait in Syria... They hope in the U.S. Chief of Staff," urging Obama to “exercise his duty to protect” them.

In the name of God, in the name of Good, for the sake of humanity, we urge you. Do something,” Geagea concluded his letter.

Geagea had been held in Lebanon prisons for eleven years in punishment for his terrorist crimes committed in the country, the deadliest was the explosion in Our Lady of Deliverance church, North of Beirut, Feb 1994, in which 11 innocent prayers were martyred.
