Elections

Earlier this year the terrorist organization Hamas scored a stunning victory in the first ever democratic elections in Palestine. Now, less than a year later president Mahmud Abbas has decided to call for new elections under pressure from with the backing of the United States. United States, with the noble intention of spread democracy in the Middle East, likes to see their men elected in Palestine. Ladies and gentleman, now that’s what I call democracy!

Back in the US, things are getting warmed up for the 2008 elections. While Mrs.Clinton is lining up her supporters and donors, Barak Obama is clearly emerging as Clinton alternative #1. I don’t think Mrs.Clinton is going to win even the primary and I believe Obama has all the potential to become the Colin Powell for Democrats. But the true presidential material for the democrats is Sen. Joseph Biden. I hope he will run.

Talking about elections, Time magazine elected ‘You’ as the Person of the year. That was a cheesy decision. Their finalists were not impressive to begin with. I suspect they chose the founders of YouTube, and then they decided that their success was largely the result of the millions of users out there.

But anyways, congratulations to all you YouTubers, bloggers and citizen journalists out there. We are now in the league of JFK, MLK, Einstein and Gandhi.
