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 .

RIP Hala Haddad

I just heard from Mazen that Hala has passed away....

The Evolution of an Idea.

“Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds.” The words uttered by Julius Robert Oppenheimer , sometime after he helped create the first atomic bomb and finally realized the Pandora’s box he had opened. Greek mythology credits a female called Pandora with opening a box that let out all that was evil into the world. The words are from the Hindu scriptures known as the “ Bhagavad Gita ”, a conscientious precursor to Machiavelli’s “ The Prince ”. Yet the truth is that man is a week creature not accustomed to accepting failure, thus the unleashing of all evil was scapegoated upon poor unsuspecting Pandora, who, in her turn was but a pawn in the hands of the Olympian gods to upset the balance of nature and the wisdom of an early form of a Christ like figure, Prometheus, giver of the flame of knowledge, a possible minor equivalent to the biblical eve and the tree of knowledge . Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds. The words ring in my ears as I witness the events of t...
