Back in America
After a few weeks out of the this blog we are back in America.
And we think there is no better way to restart than to post an article by Hannes Stein.
It is an article he wrote in the German newspaper DIE WELT on Saturday, 19th of March of 2005.
Now you can read the all article in English, here.
A sample of what you can expect:
"I am thinking of the image of the Iraqi woman who, on the 30th January 2005, held up her violet-stained finger: she had just voted for the first time in her life and her finger acted as proof that she had cast her vote. And now please listen carefully to Lebanese Druse leader Walid Jumblatt, a die-hard America hater and Anti-Semite, who if necessary could subtitle any Michael Moore film in Arabic. Well, Walid Jumblatt recently said the following: “I was cynical as regards Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting – eight million Iraqis – that was the beginning of a new Arab world. The Berlin Wall has fallen.” Let’s hear that again, as it is so beautiful: The Berlin Wall has fallen in the Arabian peninsular. Paul Wolfowitz did not say it. Jeff Gedmin did not say it. Hannes Stein did not say it. The anti-American Walid Jumblatt said it."
