I was watching The Daily Show with John Stewart, March 3rd 2009 episode. It's quite an interesting show. Anyway to get to the point, there is the sketch called "Mess O'Potamia - The Iraq War is Over". The sketch speaks about the "new" plan of withdrawing the American troops from Iraq, except a few dozens of thousands soldiers.
The video I embedded is a must see. The video include Obama's speech regarding the matter and regarding the so-called "new" plan, compared to Bush's speech about the earlier plan. Surprisingly, they both said the SAME EXACT SENTENCES but with a change in a word or two. The Obama's plan is supposedly to be executed in August 2010.
I understand the Democrats won the elections over the Republicans. But honestly, Middle Eastern hopes for a better change in the region by the Obama administration are fading away as everyday passes by. As I said in mentioned in an earlier post, we Middle Easterns can't hold on to hope from any type of administration in the United States because after all it's the United States administration and not the world's administration. They do what's best for their own country.
Honestly they're doing the right thing by thinking solely about themselves because we always fail to do the same. We always think of pleasing others instead of us and our people because we're intimidated by them.
I was really disappointed from the speech and the plan because I saw clearly that from the outside everything look like new, but from the inside everything is still the same. We Middle Easterns keep drowning more and more with every change in foreign politics. Praying this would change.
