The Second Life
First, I apologize from my readers for not posting anything recently. Second I want to thank my new job (started 5 weeks ago) for not allowing me to surf for news like before and certainly I don’t have the freedom to blog as much. Third I am so happy that my new job had totally distracted me from politics and reading arabic sites and opinions with all the depression that they bring along. I don’t have the same attention span or motivation to be passionate, let the region be the region and the people ruled by oppressors.
Let the area be shared and dominated by foreign powers and interests along with the resistance wannabees and trouble makers. If the people decide to rally behind their rulers then why not let them suffer the consequences; and if the leaders want to play games to look important then let them enjoy their fake glories…it is all comedy and an act to suck the region out of its blood; and keep us always in the last wagon of civilization.
Oops I am getting pationate again, sorry. About Michel Kilo, Kamal Labwani and all the idiots who decided to speak for a better society, why did they bother since no one is there to think about them except for rare occasions. It seems like the mood now is a complete Syrian-Iranian victory in both Lebanon and Iraq, as well as Palestine even though the dream was destroyed. Syrians in jail, who cares!!! a small price to pay for Syrian regional role. Assad is and will be forever just like the people want!
I am very confused with the US tacid approval of what is going on!!!!!!!!!!! not that I ever liked the US middle eastern policies but it looks like the axis of evil in their eyes is unchallenged these days. Confusion Confusion Confusion but I am so relieved that it is very quiet on the Israeli front and there is no repeat of the Lebanese disastrous war of last year. The month of May was scary and promising an ugly summer in Lebanon but now it is pretty well contained despite some casualties…it is minor losses in the big chess board.
As for Syria, Assad has graduated from the Junior league to be an important regional player ready to serve his purpose for American policies (even though he looks like he is standing up to them, he exists to forment needed instability in the region) for another 40 years. Like Father like son and the people of Syria pay a heavy price but no one is raising a finger except the cheer leaders who refuse to see our potential being crushed.
But the reason I started this post was a great arabic article that I received about a webworld which I never heard about “Second life” but I love its conclusion , about how the arabic world needs virtual worlds to escape their tragedis and dissapointments!!!!
هل ستنتهي حروب القتل والدمار أخيراً، أم ستنشأ حروب فيروسية والكترونية من نوع جديد، وقد بدأت معالم بعض هذه الحروب الالكترونية القادمة بالظهور خلف حدود الحياة الثانية، مؤكدةً أصالة الغريزة العدوانية لدى البشر؟ ألا يكفينا الفقر الروحي والاجتماعي الذي اجتاح عالمنا الحقيقي في عصر الأنترنيت وثقافة الدولار؟ لاأدري. وبالنسبة لي، اتخذت قراري بعدم الدخول مجددا أبداً إلى الحياة الثانية، مع أنني، فكرت كثيراً، كم نحتاج في عالمنا العربي إلى عوالم افتراضية نهرب إليها من مآسينا وخيباتنا الكثيرة.
Here is the full article in Arabic and it is great to be preoccupied and distracted from never ending problems! specially the headaches of politics and tragedies…Michel and Kamal and their friends, I hope they have fans or aircondition!!!! so it is not like burning hell over at your five star jails. You in jail is really making us beat up imperialism and zionism and complement our glorified resistance so please enjoy your sacrifice!
