class="translation"><p><strong>Stop! The World Facing Historical Events</strong></p><p>Rare events do not take place everyday. An event that the world witnesses only once a year. Event, which wrote history before, with golden-plated-letters. Event, which the whole world is looking forward annually.</p><p>The world is anxiously waiting, the world is alerted, the world is worried, the world is tensed, the world is waiting to hear the decision, the world is negotiating to reply, the world is directing all antennas toward <em>The Event</em>, the world calls for patience, the world is asking to join in making the decision, the world is listening to them, the world is preparing for negotiation, the world units to solve the issues, the world is astonished by courageous speeches, the world is shocked with what is happening, the world is full with riots some are with and other are against <em>The Event</em>, the world is praying for it’s success, the world reached a cross-junction, the world supports all the outcomes, the world obey to unchallenged orders, the world realize the truth, the world is confused what to do, the world realized that they were wrong, the world lives in peace and satisfaction, the world is ready to corporate to solve problems, the world asks for a month or two enable to get ready to implement the new directions.</p><p>So, what is happening?</p><p><strong>It’s the Eighteenth Arab League Summit!</strong></p><p>The Arab League Summit is about to begin, and <strong>nothing from all of what I said will happen</strong>. So, relax and sleep well, tomorrow carries nothing new.</p><p>In brief, no one, I repeat, no one cares for the Summit, what’s going in it, what decisions it will come out with, no one, not in the Arab World nor the whole World. So why should we waste time in talking about what toke place and what will take place in it? For the participants, wasting time is the most important thing they can do, so let them do, and let’s wish them all the best in wasting more time.</p><p>As for Arab Citizen and the world around him, everyone realize that the summit equals to nothing but “ink on paper”. Ink which we read and know by heart now, we are sick of it and from hearing it again.</p><p>The question that remains, is it shame if they once decide to talk firmly, logically and realistically about the Israeli occupation? Is it shame to talk about Daurfor, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Terrorism, Economy, Human Rights, Education, Unity, Unemployment, Religion, Politics, Common Projects, Civil Development, Development Forward (for a change), etc.? Is it shame that they talk in something useful with new language without using obscure terms and non realistic language which is possible to implement or at least to convince the other? Until when will this coma and absence from reality will continue? Until when?</p><p>Poor is the Arab Citizen. I can claim that the least time media channels are watched is the period when they air news about this Summit and what’s going in it. On the other hand, publicity for cheap TV channels increases, so should we blame the Arab TV watcher for his choice to watch something like the infamous “Star Academy”? or blame him for mounting the biggest satellite dish so that he can watch the “educational movies” coming from Western channels? I don’t blame him! Who of us ever heard or felt the positive impact of any Arab League Summit since it was established and until yesterday? Unfortunately, nothing. Nothing but misery of the mass…</p><p>And until next submit, sometime similar next year, I wish everyone the well while waiting for another historical decisions that will change the route of history as happened in the past, as will happen this year. Happy New Year!</p></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/03/27/stop-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%b4%d9%81%d9%8a%d8%b1-%d8%a3%d8%ad%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%ab-%d8%aa%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ae%d9%8a%d8%a9/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>16</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Arabisc: Cultural and Art Week</title><link>http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/03/04/arabisc-cultural-and-art-week/</link> <comments>http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/03/04/arabisc-cultural-and-art-week/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 04 Mar 2006 13:19:27 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Haitham Sabbah</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Arabs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cartoon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Culture]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Freedom of Speech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Libya]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Middle East]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Multimedia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Oman]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Saudi Arabia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UAE]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arabisc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Human Rights]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Saudi]]></category> <guid
