The quagmire and the coming storm

So the Russians do not want Bashar to step down because they have a lucrative business going on with them, and also because it is their hand in the Middle East. The Turks don’t want Bashar to step down because they are terrified of a Kurdish uprising and probable declaration of independence. the Israelis do not want Bashar to step down because they are terrified of a free Arab world much more than they are of a despot who terrorizes his own people. So they, the Israelis, are doing the best they can to make the Arabs look as bad as possible to thwart the efforts of the Palestinians of gaining recognition for their statehood ... can any one remember the price that was paid by the Palestinians for recognizing Israel as a state?  the Israeli government of Netanyahu where taken by surprise when they had an uprising of their own ... a terrorist attack , followed by a bombing of Gaza , followed by the accidental killing of Egyptian border patrol . Following that, elements in Gaza ...

RIP Hala Haddad

Image
I just heard from Mazen that Hala has passed away.... Saint Jude Hala Haddad The Lady with the Devine Glow (20 November 1979 - 26 July 2007) After many years of battling against cancer... our beloved Hala's body gave in... And the angel of death has whisked her away to that world which lies beyond... I for one... as I am sure all those whom have known Hala, will remember her love for life... she never let her ailment... No matter how grave... dampen her spirit... she was always full of life... and instilled that feeling in all those whom where around her... her divine smile was a miracle on its own... her smile was full of warmth... a warmth that would engulf the coldest of people... a smile that would make the most depressed person know what bliss truly means.... I will miss Hala dearly... I will miss her wit... I will miss her smart conversations... I will miss her divinely beautiful glow... Hala's lovely memory will remain with me, and I will miss her dearly, until the time ...

Life of a Dyslexic Dragon in Denial

Denial is not a river in Egypt. That much I know. But denial of self is one aspect being dyslexic that does hinder my progress. Being dyslexic means having a super ability to overcompensate for what we perceive to be our weakness. Perceived, because we are more aware of the mistakes that we make than the casual observer would see. Being Dyslexic means that I can do multiple things at the same time and accomplish more than my pears could ever dream of achieving in a short span of time. Yet we never recognize this as strength. For us dyslexics, this is no more than our compensation mechanism kicking in because we feel inadequate.  The other day I was talking to a college, I was feeling blue, worthless, and useless… you name it. I was blaming myself for being too stagnant and having not achieved much in life. My good friend gave me a dirty look followed with a scalding “what do you mean you have nothing to show for yourself? Did you forget all the things you have already done?” the...
