  Mabrouk Barack

  I know USA politics since I was born and I predict that nothing big will change, if Obama will do everything 100% liberal he will only take America back to the center because Bush was 100% conservative for 8 years, he appointed so many covervative judges on the supreme court, he banned Stem Cell research not like Europe ETC…

  I think also that many conservatives will fight Obama very hard and make his life very hard, there is lot of racism still in the world.

• 2. David | November 5th, 2008 at 7:47 am

  kezballah. you seem to be misinformed.

  Bush did not ban stem cell research.

  Stem Cell research is 100% legal in the US.

  Bush banned government funded research on *new* Embryonic stem cells.

  He has allowed continued government funded embryonic stem cell research for existing embryonic stem cells.

  Democracy is much more than voting for barak obama. Democracy is a verb. This means that the people of America must understand their constitution, the founding principle of their nation, and the CORE issues of national strength, and then LOOK EVERY DAY TO ENSURE that their government is truly theirs ( the current gov is no theirs)….

  I wish obama luck , but with radical christian right wing republicans like bush and alliance around the world, obama will be facing alot of problems. This is important, because bush stakes so much of his political life on his faith, and hey , HE STILL IN THE OFFICE!!

  Lets hope for good…

  David thank you for the correction, I was writing the general idea but yes you are right he only banned the government funding, but every expert I heard on NPR the last 4 years would say this was like killing Stem Cell research in the USA because it needs a high level of government funding and support.

  Also in some places in Europe (like Italy) there is almost no restrictions on how you take your research, Bush put many restrictions in the USA

  Embryonic stem cell research needs government funding because it has yet to yield any results and it does not hold much promise to. Otherwise private enterprise in the US would back it more so you are exactly right, it will in affect kill embryonic stem cell research.

  There are no limits on private enterprise research but no private enterprise would touch it because it doesn’t hold much potential for a return on investment.

• 13. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 9:04 am

  i envy the american people today.. i was really touched while i was following the results.,.by voting for obama the states was able to move to the 21s century. finaly they were able to brake the great wall of racism… they had a dream. they made the dream come true… Martin Luther King.. rest in peace…

  such a vote bring hope to lot of people around the world. the hope of change. the capability of youth to brake walls and monuments and to make the impossible.

  would the great lebanese people ( dont believe it ) ever evolve? would we ever find among ourselves real leaders ? would we ever be able to brake the walls of the sect, the religion, and of al za3eem?

  let us have a dream…

  Exactly Rima,it is also rasicm if we only see the black side of him,he is black and white, christian and moslem.he is either the savior of the world or the destroyer.
  I think he will be a normal president like the others with no exeptions.

  Rima is right.

• 18. Rodge | November 5th, 2008 at 10:50 am

  Eventhough I supported the election of Obama, I can’t be so happy as some people are.

  Why? because I and many others, whether they are Americans or not, may hyave supported him for the wrong reasons, meaning it’s not because we see in him the perfect president or his election as a shift to the 21st century and a liberation to the black people etc…, No, because we see in his election a change we thought the world needed it after the “disasters” made by the Bush administration, and I insist on considering Bush as a bad president, if he’s not the worse.

  What I really think, is that Obama or anyone else will have a little impact on the US policy abroad, adn for those who think that a liberal president will be good to Iran, Syria and others is so wrong, since the US acts are related to their interests, and their policy is not an improvised policy, it is a continuous one and eventually it will not change radically.

  I have to remind all of you my friends here, whether you think the Republicans are better for Lebanon because they are much firm against Syria and Iran, or you think the Democrats are better since they can be good to Syria and Iran, each of his or her own background:

  - George Bush the father was the President when his country gifted Syria the Lebanese file for thei help in Kuwait.

  - George W. Bush was the president when Ahmedinejad the radical president came to power in Iran with a strong majority.

  - Bill Clinton the democrat was in power in US when Mohammad Khatemi the reformist and hardliner was elected as President in Iran.

  - In France, Sarkozy is widely considered as a right sided extremist against all foreigners and mainly Muslims in France, and we all know what happened during his term as a interior minister, and people were expecting him to be tougher against Syria and Iran comparing to Jacques Chirac, but what we witnessed lately was the contrary, since we saw him dragging all Europe to negociate with Syria and Iran and Hamas etc…

  So in conclusion, despite their history of retreating, I don’t think the democrats in power will have a different approach to Lebanon or the Middle east then the republicans, we can see a different way of action, but the policy and strategy will be the same, and no one should think that Obama is able to withdraw his troops from Iraq easily, he will face many troubles, and maybe he will trun out to be even worse than Bush.

  Let’s wait and see, maybe personally I will regret supporting him, and maybe I will be convinced, and all of you will fell the same also.

• 19. Rodge | November 5th, 2008 at 10:56 am

  Rima,

  U’re right in what you say about the level of racism among the black people.
  Personally I see it as extreme, just look at the blacks TV episodes and try to search for white people.
  I want to apologize here from all my friends the Shiaas, and i’m not offending them, but the justifications put by the blacks in America are similar to what the Shiaas are saying in the last decades, they claimed they are deprived from their rights, eventhough statistics showed they are among the richest and most educated community in Lebanon, and these days they have the weapons and the power more than anyone else, but they still cry claiming they are deprived.

  “We have come to the end of a long journey and I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him but offering our next president our goodwill”.

  Those were the words of McCain while talking to reporters after the poll results.

  Will we ever see such thing in Lebanon??
  Hopefully, but unfortunately not in a million years.

• 22. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 11:36 am

  smahouli fiya… when everything is controlled by the white, you cannot complain that the afro american are racist… when only half a century ago the afro american had the minimum of civil rights, where they were still obliged to leave their seats in the bus for white people to sit.. you cannot say they are racist because they stood together to get some of their rights back.. are you serious here? some of your writtings are jokes.. sorry..

• 23. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 11:44 am

  habibi rodge..
  in a statistic made in 1972 .. only 0.7 % of the lebanese yearly budget used to be spent on projects in the south of lebanon which contain more then 25 % of the lebanese population..
  more then 57% of the shias didnt know how to read and write
  only 6 % of the shias had finished elementery school at that time..
  we didnt have any influence of whatever on the political map of lebanon… one government didnt contain any shia minister even.

  that is why we were called mahroumeen..

  ok things changed now.. i agree … but we are not jumping to take everything as you claim… we have the power to play things in a very diferent way.. but we believe in lebanon for all of us bass the problem is that those people who use to control everything dont want to step down from there chairs…and dont know how to share

  salam

• 24. Rodge | November 5th, 2008 at 12:21 pm

  Ja3far,

  I didn’t say you want to take everything, all I said is that u’re still saying u’re mahroumeen.
  As for the educated, I was not talking about those who went to schools, you can be educated without visiting one shcool, I mean you Shiaas have a very good level of self education, and when I said you were among the best educated I didn’t want to offend other sects, including mine, because there are people who say u’re the most educated.
  Anyway it’s not that, all I meant is that when a community is deprived or feel their rights are or were abused, they tend to be always defensive, and they always feel threatened, and they also then to be isolated as a community, and this is the situation of the blacks in the US, and somehow the Shiaas in Lebanon with all my respect to both communities.

• 26. Fuziyad | November 5th, 2008 at 12:30 pm

  Ja3far, when you talk of Lebanon for all do you include the shiia regions too? or are the shiia regions exculsive and the rest to be shared?? seriously, don’t you think that’s the hizbi way? what is ours is only ours and what is yours has to be shared?

  ba3den am always amazed how you pretend to be progressist admiring Obama,liberal ideas and the equality of chances while you support a party that is at the complete opposite of it??

  I think we can easily say that khoumeini or the islamic republic of iran are ultra conservatives…so why being ultra conservative in the ME and liberal in the US? let me know, I really would like to understand what’s behind it, are you really a freedom lover who supports ultra conservative people or are you a super conservative person pretending to defend liberty??

• 27. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 12:30 pm

  rodge… everything oscillate before really settling down… this is a normal… the most important is that in the long term we tend to integrate not like others who tend to seperate…
  the numbers i gave u where in 1972.. the numbers have changed a lot now.. all you need to do is check the numbers of those registered in the doctors, lowyers or engineers in al naqabat to see which sect have the most…
  jim… haka badree

• 28. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 12:43 pm

  fuziad… if the iranian people have decided to choose islamic republic let them live the experience and work to make it happen..it is their choice…if they fail they fail..

  if the american have chosen this system let them work on making it happen…they are the dominant country over the world they have influence over every country in the world. i am very concerned with their experience. and with the person who is elected

  for lebanon; we cannot follow the example of the iranian people , we dont claim we want.. we are a country who want to follow the democracy and american example .. true? let it be.. let us work on ourselve to learn and take the good side of it?

  at the end we have seen social parties who had been involved in the democratic game in europe and took there share in helping the community evolve…

  since 1990, the HA is more then convinced that they make a diference only with a coloured lebanon; the lebanon moussa al sader worked for since the sixties..

• 37. Michele | November 5th, 2008 at 3:25 pm

  Ja3far u keep on saying that we only know Hezbollah through what the media says; well it’s not true, we know them from the things they are doing and saying.

  I still remember Hassan Nasrallah back in the 80s when he used to say that Lebanon should only be an islamic state; he might have refrained to say that these days but he never said he changed his mind.

  We know them when they have dragged the country into an unwanted war causing the death of 1000 innocent people n the destruction of an entire country, yet Nasrallah never expressed his apology or regrets to the Lebanese nor thanked the rest of the Lebanese for receiving them n taking care of them.
  Instead he expressed his gratitude by invading Beirut and the mountains, closing down a TV station that was suppoting them during the 33 days of war.

  They don’t recognize and respect the Lebanese army especially when Nasrallah warned the army of attacking nahr El Bared by calling it “Khat A7mar”.

  Nasrallah, thanked the Syrian regime for occupying Lebanon for 30 yrs, have u ever seen a political leader thanking Israel for occupying Lebanon?

  Whenever something upsets Nasrallah, he sends his thugs to burn tires n close the airport.

  So plz tell me how did we misunderstood Hezbollah coz i really want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I could never forget, in 2003 i was watching al manar out of curiosity and their was a talk show with 2 female presenters and a young girl, early 20s n next to them seperated by a curtain a sheik with a male presenter. The curtain was there as the sheik did not want to see the young girl who was not wearing a veil.

  So the 2 female speakers were asking the young girl why till today she was not wearing a veil n of course the girl replied naively that it would be her dearest wish that one day when the time is right she will wear it.

  The 2 veiled ladies told her that they have a great surprise n z girl got excited till she saw the surprise; it was an islamic outfit, the robe n the veil n asked her to go inside a cabin to wear them.
  When she did, the sheik n z male presenter came to her congratulating her.

  The poor girl with tears (n trust me they were no tears of happiness), in a shaking n sobbing voice thanked them.

  When i saw it, i terribly felt sorry for the girl n wondered where are these people taking us.

  Honestly ya Ja3far is that an acceptable behaviour?

  I have lots of shia friends even my room mate in Paris for 3 years was shia from the south n i know how open they are n civilised;I have even dated back in the 90s the nephew of Sheik Kabalan.
  I think it’s a shame that Hezbollah has hijacked a whole sect n made of them a fanatic sect.

• 40. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 3:46 pm

  michele 3youni… nassrallah himself expressed it several times in his speaches that the example of islamic republic does not work in lebanon and lebanon is strong only through its diversity …

  the problem is that for the last few years HA has been showed as a monster to make you and other people scared… the things they say reach you most of the time twisted, or you hear only stupid things like when ali amar said the ni3ak thing ( which may happen any where in the world by the way, i am sure you know why there is such a distance in the british parlement between the parties chairs)…

  we will keep arguying about the 2006 war… the american and the israeli medias and reports said it again and again that it was planed ahead; we both know that neither the israeli nor the american need an excuse to go to war, example 1982 invasion and the vietnamese war , what were the excuses.?.. still some political leaders want to gain power in lebanon through making HA a monster and keep repeating that they destroyed lebanon.. ya 3ami israel is the one who destroyed lebanon using american weapons.. bass no one want to listen…

  syria had made lot of mistakes in lebanon, and got its part of it with the agreement with the american, israeli, and saudi… but with what was hapening in 2005, we couldnt but stand with syria after they left.. one of our major support lines path through syria.. but dont forget, the syrian people who were really controling lebanon (i,e. Khadam and co) are big friends of 14 MArch..

  every body keep talking about invading beirut.. would you have been happy if what happened in tripoli happened in beirut? every body forget the problems that used to happen every night for several months.. the planned labour demonstration was thretened to be shot at… the HA went inside the militia ofices and gave them to the army in couple of hours… the second day the israeli haaretz had as headline our 2 years work is gone in hours.. do we forget that?

  ya3ami, when i read here, it sounds like lebanon was a heaven on earth thill HA came and destroyed everything… wake up people… HA has been used by lot of those zo3ama who are worth nothing to get people scared and make them follow them…

• 42. Fuziyad | November 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pm

  Ja3far, what is it that I believe and that is not reality?? that hezbolalh is a party created, financed and ideologically inspired by the iranian revolution? that hezb preaches religious rigor? that hezb people (not talking about supporters but the party people) do not shake hands with women?? that alcohol is now banned to be served from official dinners when people from the hizb are present? that hezb pushes shiia women to wear the hijab? that wearing the hijab is a requested condition to benefit from some of hizb aid(even for little girls)?

  and plse don’t tell me all this is cultural and not political because it’s not the case, the lebanese shiia have always been quite secular and tchador and all this islamic rigor is a pure Iranian import…so I don’t get it, is it fantasy that hezb is iranizing the shiia community??

  Jaafar “but dont forget that similar things happens when females become nuns in christianity ”

  How is this relevant to what I mentioned above?

  Is that acceptable to make a woman wear a veil when she doesn’t wan to?

  the nuns ya sa7bé are following a vocation, a vocation that requests humilyty n chastity among other things.
  I really don’t want to discuss the hijab thing which i am 100% against n that i consider a degrading thing for a woman living in the 21st century.

• 53. ja3far | November 5th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

  fuziad.. this contradiction is only in your head because you tend to mix all religious ideas with each others… the people who are against modernity are salafists…We are not salafists..
  your problem is that whenever you are thinking of a hizbollah or a pro hizbollah you are getting a certain image in your head for a model that you or other people have created … what i have been trying to explain is that this is not true. there is no contradiction between modernity and me praying or feeling god …

  1- Who am I: I lived the 1st 30 years of my life in Lebanon. Then one day I woke up and felt nauseous, so I decided to leave this shit hole for good. Now I live in New York where life although far from being ideal is at least better than in the Old Country.
  2- Who do I support: Without a second of hesitation I’ll say Bashir Gemayel.
  3- My beliefs: The “politicians” currently running the country are corrupt, lack any sense of patriotism whatsoever, are only looking to fill their pockets at the expense of a minority (?) of people who for some reason I cannot understand keep on supporting them and voting for them. This whole personality cult we have going on in Lebanon is not only ridiculous and out of this time but also disgusting. All the “bel rou7 bel damm” bullshit, the hakim and/or Aoun wou bass crap, only shows how retarded Lebanese are as a people. I can’t but remember the picture of Elias Murr in Bteghrin carried by a bunch of idiots when he was named minister of the interior a few years ago.
  I am disgusted by all those politicians, Aoun, Geagea, Nasrallah, Berri, Joumblatt etc… and the list is long. And I am even more disgusted when I see that the “great” Lebanese people keep on voting for them and cheering for them. This country and its people is getting exactly what it deserves. You are voting for these guys, you’re gonna have to live with the consequences…
  Wou Allah yel3an hal balad wou hal sha3b el ghasheem…

  doc 1559

  you know doc if i am a christian i can not be a pro obama at all first i am against abortion second i am against gay right if u are for it…….

  u claim to be a christian so i would think u are a mc cain supporter too ….

  any way obama is the president now and he has my total respect if i liked him or not

  OBAMA: And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

  (APPLAUSE)

  To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you.

  And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. (APPLAUSE)

  Rodge, Anonymous is simply a frustrated dude, wishing bad to his country!!!
  Cheering n wishing for the Syrians to come back, that is seriously ugly!

  Luckily Lebanon got rid of him!!!

• 68. Michele | November 6th, 2008 at 7:34 am

  Rima, whether we agree wz Ja3far or not, I do like to read his comments n i’m terribly impressed with his persistence n patience. (funnily he started growing on me )

  I wish Doc (n btw Delta, doc is Ali, a pro-Hezbie) could argue as good as Ja3far n have the same patience.

  But hey Ja3far it doesnt mean we became great buddies!!!! I will stil criticize u whenever i need to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• 69. ja3far | November 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pm

  chou hal michele !!! i like the soft side of you , but dont go toooooo soft ..the blog is never the same without you criticising me between time to time

  salam

• 70. Rima | November 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm

  Hi Michele

  This is the first time I don’t agree with you…Regarding jaafar I think he just spins around ni plus ni moins

• 71. Michele | November 6th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

  And u r right Rima, but plz u should give him some credit on his persistence n effort; i mean z poor guy is attacked by all of us n still he finds the patience n z will to answer each one of us.

  I’m not saying that his replies are correct or even make sense, coz they don’t but the fact he wants us sooo much hear him n he never lose hope.

  Unlike the previous orange idiots such like Arze, Readers, Leb4life, Omega, etc besides their idiotic n vulgar replies they run away n rarely show up.

• 72. danny | November 6th, 2008 at 3:59 pm

  Rima…Ditto. Sorry Michele, it seems that you got confused following sammy’s spins/lies on everything.
  So my dear snap out of it!
