Today we started to bomb another middle east country, of course its sad that again this day has come. Regardless what you think the raise of radicalism did not come because of nothing but is the result of 40 years of the failure of men. Of course when violent is threading to so many, action must be taken. Its the history of mankind, what allowed it to take root must be the second step taken. Our world has changed, many politico action, equality and democracy will have to be address with many step forward on many fronts must come to defeat this radical out burst. This change will require the changing of the hearts of many old men in power representing no one, also old concepts here at home.
I lived 22 years in the middle east, eat 1000 meals with Arabs and Iranians, Sunni and Shia, I am a expert of the Arab street. My coming book will speak about those experiences, I believe it will help others to understand the problems. Of course I wish it was ready today, but 6 months from now these events will still be playing out. Until then, it will be peoples thoughts that creates the change, change is coming to our world, a more peaceful world is coming, change will come and it starts as spoken above, with each of us.
