This picture is taken from Leader Today blog and I think there is not comment on it… This is how Kuwait is looking like for the past 3 days.

Finally we now know for certain that Obama will be competing against Mccainfor the presidential elections but does this make any difference for any one??!!!
For me it makes no difference at all because America is a organisations and institutions country that is build on a strong system that leave no big space for the persons to make a huge change. A typical example is the foreign policy: can any candidate say that he is not committed to Israel national security and that Jerusalem should be the united capital for the Jewish country? Even Obama just said it clearly last night in front of the AIPACK meeting. He even went further by declaring Iran as the most dangerous enemy and that he would use anything to stop even military forces. Doesn’t this look familiar to what Mccain is saying since last March and even worse, to what Bush was saying since 9/11?
I really feel very sorry for all the optimistic Middle Eastern people that thought that Obama will follow his campaign theme “Change we believe in”, I believe that the change will be in local issues that are not concerning at all this part of the world where America is playing the most significant rule in changing its demographic, social, cultural, economical and surely political status.
So at the end, do you think that there is a diferencebetween both of them? I think that both Obama and Mccain are the two side of the same coin: The United States of America.
I am really very sorry,

We are the masters of destroying any success, a typical example is what’s happening with Hassan Shahta, the Egyptian national soccer team coach. Since he took the responsibility, he is under fierce attack from almost everyone. He won the African championship in 2006 in Egypt but everybody said he was lucky and the unprecedented support from all Egyptians was the prime factor. Then he won againthe same African Championship in 2008 in Ghana in a magnificent way beating all the monsters including Cameron and Evory Coast. He really managed to shut up all the voice that was just attacking for either attacking or for their own benefit. I think what he and his team did was by far the best Egyptian soccer I have ever seen in my entire life.
I thought that things will calm down but again the attach started before the first game after that heroic win, this game is of special importance as it’s the first step to reach 2010 world cup finals. Even though he almost lost more than half of the winning team, and despite all the difficulties, Shehata was able again to turn a one / nil lose in the first half to a two / one victory in the second half against a very tough team: Congo. His changes and modifications during the game was actually the main reason to win plus the strong well of most of the players to win particularly Amr Zaki.
I think it’s time that all envies, personal int rest and attacking for just attacking behaviours should stop immediately and please leave the man to do his job as excellent as always.
God Bless you ya Abu Ali,
