The unequal equation

On the first side , there is one country possessing Nuclear Weapons

and on the other side, another country accused of trying to possess

some Nuclear weapons ,in the far future. .

The first wants to attack and bomb the second

just because this second is not Democratic ,

nor Christian nor Jewish and not even nuclear .

The Free-World also known as..... the Democratic one

is supporting the first country against the second

to the point that it might ask one of them to bomb the second

instead of the first doing it......by itself.

This said ,

may I remind you that this first country

has occupied another since 60 years,

while the second has occupied nobody and nowhere ,

as far as I can remember, for the last 1500 years.

And if double-standards are not enough,

they decided to call the second country as a " rogue state"

and the first is called " the only Democracy in the Middle East" .

If and when the first shall bomb the second

it will the labelled :"Global-War on Terrorism"

but if you allow me , I shall rather call it

the " Global War of the Terrorists".

Because ,

when a bomb goes from West to East

it would be a crime ,

while when the Bomb comes from the East to the West

it would be also a crime .....

unless the West would have done something to deserve it !!

like raping Palestine or invading Iraq and Afghanistan.


Anyhow ,
the judgement is left over for you
and would you not prefer ,
a Hysteria free World without the Hegemonic-Hypocrisy ???

The unlucky Working Class

an uncrowned King..

The working-class of Europe is not all-Muslim
but
(all) Muslims of Europe are working-class .

In the seventies we fought ,as students , for class-emancipation,

so we went out toward the Working-classes

and tried to emancipate them and to explain how unlucky they were .

Then later we got promoted and left our universities

when we became managers driving with 8 Cylinder Jaguar's

We forgot the Working-Class
and we flew Business-Class.

Three decades later,we woke up one morning to realise

that the Muslims of Europe became

the actual unlucky-working-class.

In the meantime Che was shot down

the Red-Square has now a Mac.Donald and a Pierre Cardin Shop

and uncle Mao is now only manufacturing digital toys.

The Koran replaced Communism,

Mohammad replaced Marx

the Mosques replaced the popular-committees

the Crescent replaced the Red-flag.

The ex-colonial powers became the employers

and the ex-colonised wait now for a salary .....gently,obediently,

at the end of each month.

Islam did not change ,neither did Christianity

but the Christian-coloniser ,now, became the Christian-employer.

A clash of religions ??..... not at all !!

but a separation of 2 religions due to the different social status.

If you are a Muslim, handsome and rich,

you are labelled as a dirty-play-boy.

If you are Christian, handsome and rich ,

you are simply a Play-boy .

Omar Charif became a Hollywood- king

but was never crowned.

Dodee el Fayed was engaged to a Royal- Princess

and it cost him his life.

One Director-General of the NASA

was a Muslim..... but nobody remembers his name .

Proletarians of the world,
hold on to your Koran !!
it worth any and all other books !!!

Omar Charif is a christian (Arab)
but everybody thought that he were a Muslim person
and that is why he never got his crown , nor any Oscar !!

The one way ticket

A good friend of mine wrote to me recently :

" A pessimist is someone who once were an optimist "

I found it very credible and a very practical description of a pessimist.

That brought me to my own conclusion regarding Peace

and I would like to dare to say :

"Every Suicide Bomber was once a believer in Peace "

but I shall not say that because the humid-weather

in Guantanamo does not suit my asthmatic tendencies.

So I will pretend to say :

"In the absence of any hope of Peace at the Horizons

I shall take an Israeli- bus , with a one way ticket ."

And if the Interrogators later would ask me why

"one way ticket" and I shall say

" I shall use a Taxi on the way back "

Anyhow that good-friend has left the USA

and lives now in Canada

and I do not think that she did that because of the weather in Canada.

She probably also took a one way ticket....in her own way .

I assume that she found out that the USA
was getting nearer to fascism, more than anything else.....
and that the corporate-power is taking over.


Anyhow , why should I care ??
My Netherlands has just won 3:0 from Italy
in Euro-footbal- competitions-Cup

Any other suggestions ?? Please

The new expansion-plan of KFC

Mr. Nouri El Maliki the prime minister of the Green Zone
while visiting Iran today reassured his hosts that
" the US Bases in Iraq shall not be used against any neighbour... "
unquote

And I wounder what for else those bases
will be ,otherwise, used for ?????,.

1- early weather-warning systems ??
2- front line post against global-warming ??
3- test stations for gay-behaviour in a the desert ??
4- laboratories for idiocy-endurance and national-hysteria ??
5- stand-by stations to assist the victims of Hurricane Katherina ??

Any other suggestions ?? Please !!
any other ideas ?? perhaps .......

Maybe Mr. Nouri el Maliki would explain and count
the advantages of an American Invasion :
like Democracy and Freedom and Kentucky Fried Chicken.....

The tolerant Truth

The Truth is :
what one likes to hear
and the better-Truth is
the one you hear and do believe .
Both are not necessarily true.

My Truth and your Truth may be different
therefore one of us , may be wrong.


Nevertheless ,
may I remind you that :

1.
Arabs we more tolerant than most of other civilisations.

2.
Islam is more tolerant than Christianity and Judaism

3.
Palestinians are more tolerant than Israelis.

4.
Israel is more a threat to Peace than Iran
Korea, Afghanistan, Libya,Syria. ...all together

5.
George Bush is more of a threat to World-Peace
than
Puttin,Qaddafi, Kim,Ahmadinejad
Batman and Mugabe.....all together

6.
George Bush promoted Terrorism
more than Ben Ladin and Mickey Mouse,
both together

7.
Judaism is more intolerant
than ex-White-South- Africa

8.
When the Arabs ruled Spain, it became
the only tolerant-space within Europe

9.
Jews living among the Arabs
never saw the need to create their own "Country"
because of the Arab-Tolerance

10.
If you disliked my Truth
create your own ......and confront me.

Is hunger a punishment ??

Gaza is fighting, resisting and liberating
on an empty-stomach.

Ramallah is smiling , kneeling and cooperating
on a fuller-stomach .

Iraq is resisting and fighting
on an empty-stomach
Kurdistan and the Green Zone profit and survive
on a full-stomach.

Should the Brave die hungry ??
Must the Brave always live hungry ??

Why do traitors eat better ??
Why is treason more rewarded ??

Is hunger a punishment .......or a purification ??

How hungry was Jesus , on the last day ??

How hungry was Ernesto Che.....?

The complexity of the Lebanese-particularity

the Beirut-labyrinth

If you knew about the Lebanese-peculiarity
when it comes to ministerial- nominations
or to electoral-procedure s
then you need not to read further ......


But, if you admit your average-normal- ignorance,
I shall give an example of the complexity
for those who shall admit not knowing about
the particularity of that complexity .

As example I shall describe how a Cabinet of Minister
is chosen among the available candidates .

First
obviously candidates can be either Muslim or Christian
Second
the Muslims are chosen among the Shiaa or the Sunni or the Druze
Third
the Christians are chosen out of six or seven different sects
Fourth
Armenians being Christians are divided into Orthodox and Catholics
Fifth
Special Minorities are also represented
so as Kurds and or Assyrians and or Chaldean's
(and among even my own Evangelical sub-group).
Sixth
the Political colours , Clans and Parties are also obviously most relevant
Seventh
the regional (geographical) origins are also taken into consideration
Eight
the Tribal/Family/ dynasty belonging
Ninth
the foreign-factor is relevant , as far as ,
which Embassy will sponsor whom ??
Tenth
the personal-factor which is about favours
and favouritism......otherwise known as:
"Minister without a portefeuille"


To understand better that aforementioned
ten-fold-complexity -factor , you may compare it
to the USA, where the Winner takes it all....... (the easiest !)
or to Syria, Egypt and Jordan
where any pro-government- clowns are nominated
and the opposition stays at home ,
or sleeps eventually in prisons.....

No ,
Lebanon has its peculiar brand of power-sharing
otherwise known as the Tabbouleh-Democracy .
It is a kind of compromise within an acrobatical- act-of-balance
between , inviting your enemies for Dinner in order


to poisoning them with the taste of power ...........
and (over) feeding your allies immensely so they leave you in peace.


Democracy ??........ No !!
Hypocrisy ??.....not completely !!

But wait a minute !! it is not over....yet

Those ten-fold-complex- persons must be distributed into
30 ministerial- position while satisfying the wishes of :
six embassies
two religions
seventeen christian-sects
three Muslim-sects
two-Druze-dynasties
five regions
twelve clans
ten dynasties
two influential- neighbours
The Vatican , the Kremlin and the White-house.

When you can see through this jungle of complexity
then you shall have to fit the right candidate to the
right-position ( the right Ministry)... ...
Good Luck !!

Therefore I prefer Cairo......or Amman
you just kiss the hand of the Pharaoh or the King
and you get a chair.......
