Time for change .. don't you think?

I read this article written by Jaafar Rajab and I have no words to describe it is truly amazing. I find it absolutely true and agree with everything he said, seriously laih muta w we live like this. I think it is time for change don't you? Very inspirational ..

In Kuwait, columnist Ja'afar Rajab instructed the region's citizens to rise to America's example. "The people that make their own history produce not only historical men, but men that make history as well. That is how nations make their history while we continue to make a history of quicksand," Rajab wrote in Al-Rai al-Aam, adding:

[W]hen [Americans] carry the slogan of change, the sons hold the hands of their white fathers to change their white opinions because they want to vote for their children and their futures -- while the 'lost' peoples have fathers who drag their children like 'goats' to vote according to the tribal, sectarian or partisan whims of the fathers! ... There are no constants in America except that America and everything else in the world changes. The Americans keep abreast of this change and so they remain ahead of everyone else while the rest of the people, who believe changes are blasphemous, remain standing still in their outdated clothes looking like a scarecrow in an empty field!

As for us Arabs, we must curse the Americans out of envy because we believe that America is Masonic and that elections are only a hoax managed by Jews and that Obama and McCain are two faces of the same coin and that Obama will not change his policies towards us. We have yet to realize that when we start looking at all people as equal, when we stop distributing and retracting citizenship as if it was a cinema ticket, when we start believing that change is the only constant in life and stop holding on to the past, and when we believe in the humanity of all people, and in the will and freedom of individuals, then and only then will the world change the way it looks at us! The scene that stirred my emotions the most was that of a young American woman who shouted in front of the cameras: 'we changed the world.' She pushed me to wonder: what did we ever change, other than the diapers of our children!
