If the Golan doesn`t want to be "liberated," then can it truly be said that there is any liberation in the act of returning sovereignty to Syria. If the residents of Golan, Arab and Jew, both have fared better and prospered more since they were "liberated" from the oppressive totalitarian govt. of Syria, and prefer to remain under Israeli sovereignty then what exactly is "liberation." There is little if any liberty under the Assads of Syria, just ask the Lebanese. They pass on the state from one generation to the next and call it a "president" as if the populace had some voice in it. Shouldn`t liberty have some contribution to the definition of "liberation?"
