A HISTORIC TIME FOR HOPE FROM AMERICA FOR THE WORLD – BARACK OBAMA

On the Eve of History, I pay tribute to the next President of the United States of America: Mr. Barack Hussein Obama II, whose election to the highest office of the land appears to have opened new doors for the countless disenfranchised masses of the World, while making new connections through innate perceptions…

In addition to his assertive, self-controlled nature, inherent inclination to Reason & Compassion along with stimulating ideals, President Obama also appears to possess a certain ethereal quality which automatically mollifies everyone, including some of the enemies and opponents of our nation - even if after a fashion, and for a limited amount of time...

Indeed, by electing Mr. Obama these United States have undergone significant transformation, and acquired a brand new “face” while reviving an old source of “inspiration & ideals", and rendering the Land of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and JFK once again worthy of global respect & admiration!

The ideal approach for the inhabitants of our small blue planet at this rather significant point in World History, would be the collective adoption of minor steps towards “hope”… If only mankind could take advantage of the potential for monumental changes, which suddenly appeared lying ahead of us, ever since the astounding results of the 2008 American Presidential election were announced, humanity might surprise itself as well as the rest of the Universe...

Provided Mr. Obama "does the walk" as magnificently well as he articulates so many noble ideals, provided all Americans make a collective effort, and truly endeavor to contribute, by joining this ethereal wave of Hope hovering upon a blue horizon, Martin Luther King’s and John Lennon’s dreams might even materialize…

If all of us could only give Mr. Obama the benefit of a doubt, for a sustained period of time, mankind might miraculously move another small step forward and planet Earth could even become a slightly better place...

THE BATTLE OF TWO DEMONS – PALESTINIANS vs. ISRAELIS




Any individual familiar with my views on matters involving religious extremism (particularly fundamentalist/orthodox/evangelical Muslims, Jews & Christians) will surely confirm that I would never consider defending or sponsoring of the Palestinian cause; yet, undoubtedly brain washed by BBC America’s biased reports regarding the brutal (albeit it could be viewed as occasionally necessary) Israeli response to Palestinian missile attacks, I must concede that the Israeli reaction included acts must be deemed “excessive”.

On the other hand, bearing in mind the classical psychological case study whereby some abused children become psychopathic abusers themselves when they reach adulthood, one should view the behavior of Israeli (vis-à-vis the massacre of Jews during the Second World War) under the same light… Indeed, because the Jewish segment in Palestine has been oppressing the Palestinian and occupying some of their claimed lands for about six decades, I must partially “empathize” with those who classify Hamas missile attacks from into Israel as a justified act of self-defense (of oppressed peoples towards their invaders).




Yet, the bottom line is quite simple: both sides are to blame as both elements consist of extremely intolerant individuals who will never, EVER accept any settlement and thereby impose upon the world the nefarious spill-over consequences of their never-ending, pointless, irreconcilable struggle. The issue turns even more distressing, when one takes into account that the main underlying reason for their endless conflict is the ever imposing, always terrifying and unquestionably ridiculous & irrelevant issue of religion…

Consequently, because about 60% of Islamic and Jewish elements are intolerant religious militant, as far as I am concerned, their self-destruction in endless bloody warfare (Mohamed versus Moses) should be henceforth ignored by the rest of the world…

If the Sensible, Reasonable peoples of Earth were to eliminate ALL religions TOMORROW, by NEXT WEEK this planet would move significantly closer towards World Peace.
