3a2belna

After watching the American presidential election, I was amazed at how after months of vicious and bitter campaigning, the minute that Barrak Obama was declared president-elect, John McCain came out and said Obama would make a great president and he asked all his supporters to rally around the new president.

If that was in Lebanon, John McCain would have made a ta3en, and he would have kept fighting and bickering and would have never accepted losing. 

Also, there were lines at polling stations that stretched out for blocks, and we didn’t get word of a single fight breaking out between Obama and McCain supporters.  In Lebanon, deghre bi dir l 2was.

There’s a saying in America that says “politics stop at the border”, meaning that whenever a politician goes overseas, he can’t criticize other Americans.  

All I can say is 3a2belna.

    Mickel,

    and i’m hoping with you for the same, but afraid at the same time that we’ll still hoping and dreaming all our lives to see such a thing.
    Democracy is a tradition, and eventhough we call our political system as democratic, well it has nothing to do with real democracy, it is a total mess.
