بمناسبة الإنتخابات الأمريكية الحالية، أعيد نشر مقالات سبق نشرتها في مدونتي، حول ترشيح أوباما وفوزه برئاسة الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية في فترته رئاسته الأولي.
هل يمكن أن أتحمس ل أوباما اليوم كما تحمست له أربع سنوات مضت؟
بكل تأكيد لا.. كانت التوقعات منه حالمة فوق ما تتحمله السياسة الخارجية الأمريكية.
ولن تفرق كثيرا اليوم من يفوز: أوباما لفترة رئاسية ثانية أم رومني فيعيد الجمهورين للرئاسة!
Obama has to win
Obama vs.Clinton
I do think that it is about time for the USA to have a woman for president. but when it comes to Obama vs. Clinton I would rather see Obama in the White House. He is young, fresh, more trustworthy and have good sense of what the world as a whole needs, not only the USA.
Mrs. clinton has the experience but need creativity and compassion for humanity as a whole. The interest of the USA and its national security will not be the sole focus while people by the millions are devastated by wars that served only the best interests of a few fanatic American politians. Clinton will serve what keeps her in Office.
Obama has a chance to serve both the best for his country and the rest of the world as well. This will take guts, courage , ceativity and compassion for humanity. I think he has a better chance to wash away some of the bitterness and resentment that the present administration has forcefully created in the hearts and minds of poeple of other countries every where.
We are all in together. That is why I am praying for Obama.

Can Obama keep up his promise?
To Mr. Obama and The Ameican people
I was one of millions who followed the inauguration of Mr. Obama as president of the USA. I cried out of joy for many reasons. I felt then that America has transcended so many injustices in her history and struggles before it would at last elect a black American, not only born outside but from Islamic origin. But most important was the message that Obama carried to the world: at last politics don’t have to be devoid of ethics and values of justice and fairness and balanced vision of the American national interest visa-vis the world.
This message prompted people from the Arab world, specially the young generation, to believe again that : YES WE CAN! Yes we can have “a new beginning” as Obama declared in his speech in the University of Cairo, Egypt.
BUT AND IT IS A BIG BUT! Can Mr.Obama really fulfill his promises? Can he fulfill the DREAM? The dream for which Martin Luther King lost his life . King’s dream was for his people in the first place, but indirectly touched oppressed people in the world. Mr. Obama’s responsibly now in this moment of history is really to continue the struggle to fulfill world wide the humane values inherent in the DREAM .
Can he?? Would he??
His intentions might be great but would the American political machinery allow him to fulfill his vision??
would the American political machinery realize that ruling the world by force and might and exploitation is short lived. For human nature would be always resisting no matter what this resistance is labeled. Mr. Obama could set the tone, could be a fresh thought in the American mental-set and conscious. The basic language in the American vision of its relation to the world has to be re-evaluated. The American people need to be re-educated into world’ affairs and the “exploitative” role of the American foreign policy in this affairs. The American people need to rise above fear and blackmailing if they spoke the truth. And in fact they have done that on many occasions. but to give the future generation the chance to create a humane world to live in still needs creative efforts from creative people.

Israel : the biggest embarrassment
Well Mr. Obama…your heart might want to see the light of truth, but your politics reflect a skewed vision when it comes to any humanitarian issue concerning the Palestinians. You and Mr. Byden are digging hard for excuses for your friend’s unlawful acts. The whole world is looking at you with pity and sarcasm. But some day it will dawn upon you that Israel is nothing but a deadly thorn implanted in Palestine, the land of prophets, by force. Sooner or later the land of prophets and love would reject it forever, for humanity would not tolerate the Zionist terrorists any longer. They have demonstrated time and again that they really hate themselves, by insisting on acts that isolate them more and more. At the end they will dig a whole and bury themselves just out of fear…not fear of the Palestinians but fear of their own voices and intentions, fear of their own skin.
