Démocratie et dictature de la majorité
La démocratie et les décisions prises à la majorité donnent une aura de légitimité à des actes qui s'apparenteraient autrement à de la tyrannie. Mais pensez-y. Combien de décisions de notre vie quotidienne souhaiteriez-vous laisser à la règle de la majorité ou au processus démocratique? Regarder un match de football à la télévision plutôt qu'un épisode des "Experts"? Décider que vous devriez conduire une Chevrolet plutôt qu'une Ford, ou que la viande de votre dîner devrait être du jambon plutôt que de la dinde? Si de telles décisions étaient prises dans l'arène politique, la plupart d'entre nous les apparenteraient à de la tyrannie. Mais pourquoi ne considère-t-on pas ces décisions comme telle lorsqu'on laisse au processus démocratique décider à notre place des types d'ampoules que nous devons utiliser, de combien de litres d'eau doivent être employés pour tirer une chasse d'eau ou du montant à retirer de notre paye pour la retraite?
Les fondateurs des Etats-Unis abhorraient profondément la démocratie et la loi de la majorité. Dans le 10e numéro du Federalist Paper, James Madison écrit:
"Les règles sont trop souvent décidées non selon les règles de la justice et les droits des minorités, mais par la force d'une majorité intéressée et autoritaire."
John Adams prédisait quant à lui:
"Rappelez-vous, la démocratie ne dure jamais longtemps. Elle a tôt fait de se disperser, de s'épuiser, et de s'assassiner. Il n'y a encore jamais eu de démocratie qui ne se suicide."
Les Pères Fondateurs avaient l'intention de donner aux Américains une forme républicaine de gouvernement limité où la protection des droits inaliénables de l'individu, donnés par Dieu, serait la première mission de ce gouvernement.
Conscients des dangers posés par la tyrannie de la majorité, les concepteurs de la Constitution américaine ajoutèrent plusieurs règles anti-majorité. L'une d'elles est l'élection du Président non au scrutin universel direct, mais par le Collège des Grands Electeurs. Neuf Etats fédéraux réunissent à eux seuls plus de 50% de la population américaine. Si la majorité simple était la règle, ces neufs Etats suffiraient à décider de la présidence. Par chance, ils ne le peuvent pas, parce qu'ils n'ont que 225 Grands Electeurs sur les 270 votes requis pour l'emporter sur les 538 sièges du Collège. S'il n'y avait pas ce Collège Electoral, qualifié d'antiquité par certains politiciens désireux de s'en débarrasser, les candidats à l'élection présidentielle pourraient, sans aucun risque, se contenter d'ignorer les Etats fédéraux moins peuplés.
La création de deux chambres du Congrès par les Pères Fondateurs était, en partie, un autre raison de faire obstacle à la dictature de la majorité. Cinquante et un sénateurs suffisent à déjouer les plans de 435 députés et 49 sénateurs. La Constitution donne au Président un droit de veto pour affaiblir le pouvoir des 535 membres des deux chambres. Il faut une majorité des deux-tiers dans chacune des chambres pour outrepasser un veto présidentiel.
Changer la Constitution pour proposer un amendement requiert non la majorité, mais les deux tiers des votes des deux chambres, et pour que celui-ci s'applique, la ratification doit être approuvée par les trois-quarts des législatures fédérales. L'article V de la Constitution donne le pouvoir à deux-tiers des Etats fédéraux d'invoquer une assemblée constitutionnelle pour proposer des amendements qui deviendraient des lois une fois ratifiés par trois-quarts d'entre eux. J'étais pour cette option afin de décréter un amendement inscrivant une limite des dépenses dans la Constitution mais j'y ai repensé depuis. Les participants à la Constituante de 1787 étaient des hommes de haute stature morale comme James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington et John Adams; les participants d'aujourd'hui seraient des nains sur la même échelle - des Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Olympia Snowe et autres Nancy Pelosi.
En plus d'abhorrer la démocratie et d'identifier l'Etat comme la plus grande menace à la liberté, les fondateurs des Etats-Unis cultivaient un profond mépris et une grande méfiance envers le Congrès. Ce mépris et cette méfiance s'expriment au travers de la phraséologie employée à travers le texte de la Constitution, en particulier la Déclaration des Droits, contenant des phrases telles que le Congrès ne doive pas "abréger", "transgresser", "nier", "déprécier", "violer".
Les Américains d'aujourd'hui pensent que la Constitution confère au Congrès l'autorisation de faire tout ce qu'il souhaite pour peu qu'il réunisse une majorité. Ils pensent qu'une nouvelle mesure est une bonne ou une mauvaise idée selon qu'elle passe ou non le vote, plutôt que selon la façon dont cette mesure s'inscrit vis-à-vis des pouvoirs conférés au Congrès par la Constitution.
Malheureusement pour le futur des Etats-Unis, le Congrès a exploité avec succès le mépris et l'ignorance des Américains envers leur propre Constitution.

Gagner en Democratie
Dans la démocratie, à la fin une personne ou un parti gagne et tout le monde doit accepter ca … fair-play, esprit sportif, civisme … tout ca doit être déployé pour ne pas sombrer.
Il arrive des fois que deux soient considérés gagnants, un parti prend la présidence et un autre prend les régions, ou le parlement. Ce cas de figure est très souvent rencontré. Il suffit de regarder EURONEWS et de suivre ce qui se passe dans le monde.
Un autre cas veut qu’un plus petit parti soit troisième avec une bonne masse électorale, et du coup il a son mot à dire pour exiger sa « dote » et décider de pencher vers l’un ou l’autre des deux premiers.
Tout ca, étant dit, dans chaque commune ou région, on peut ne pas gagner à la présidentielle mais gagner à la régionale … ca aussi est une victoire.
Aussi, la plus importante, quand on se comporte en citoyens Civilisés et qu’on accepte les scrutins, on peut tout autant dire qu’on a gagné… la Tunisie a Gagner, et tout les Tunisiens avec. C'est un peu comme dans la coupe d'afrique: une equipe Tunisienne qui gagne fait plaisir à tous les Tunisiens (en tout cas ca devrait).
Tout ca étant dit, en démocratie pour gagner il y a 1000 façons de faire… et Une seule façon pour perdre : Etre CON et Têtu.

Taste of a Last Drop
The glass seemed empty
It makes a clear sens.
I've just drank the succulent essence.
I stared again,
Knowing about the void.
Despite the evidence,
I took the chance.
And for my hope,
I won the prize.
As the small drops melt in one.
Awarding me, for i am a man who tries.
mmm ... ma7leha ekher rachfa

MAY BE HE'S A GOOD MAN ... AFTER ALL ..
WHILE OBAMA proclaims the 21st century, the government of Israel is returning to the 19th.
ONE MAN spoke to the world, and the world listened.
He walked onto the stage in Cairo, alone, without hosts and without aides, and delivered a sermon to an audience of billions. Egyptians and Americans, Israelis and Palestinians, Jews and Arabs, Sunnis and Shiites, Copts and Maronites – and they all listened attentively.
He unfolded before them the map of a new world, a different world, whose values and laws he spelled out in simple and clear language - a mixture of idealism and practical politics, vision and pragmatism.
Barack Hussein Obama – as he took pains to call himself – is the most powerful man on earth. Every word he utters is a political fact.
“A HISTORIC SPEECH”, pronounced commentators in a hundred languages. I prefer another adjective:
The speech was right.
Every word was in its place, every sentence precise, every tone in harmony. The masterpiece of a man bringing a new message to the world.
From the very first word, every listener in the hall and in the world felt the honesty of the man, that his heart and his tongue were in harmony, that this is not a politician of the old familiar sort – hypocritical, sanctimonious, calculating. His body language was speaking, and so were his facial expressions
That’s why the speech was so important. The new moral integrity and the sense of honesty increased the impact of the revolutionary content.
AND A REVOLUTIONARY speech it certainly was.
In 55 minutes, it not only wiped away the eight years of George W. Bush, but also much of the preceding decades, from World War II on.
The American ship has turned – not with the sluggishness everyone would have expected, but with the agility of a speedboat.
That is much more than a political change. It touches the roots of the American national consciousness. The President spoke to hundreds of million US citizens no less than to a billion Muslims.
The American culture is based on the myth of the Wild West, with its Good Guys and Bad Guys, violent justice, dueling under the midday sun. Since the American nation is composed of immigrants from all over the world, its unity seems to require a threatening, world-encompassing evil enemy, like the Nazis and the Japs, or the Commies. After the collapse of the Soviet empire, this role was taken over by Islam.
Cruel, fanatical, bloodthirsty Islam; Islam as the religion of murder and destruction; an Islam lusting for the blood of women and children. This enemy captured the imagination of the masses and supplied material for television and cinema. It provided lecture topics for learned professors and fresh inspiration for popular writers. The White House was occupied by a moron who declared a world-wide “War on Terrorism”.
When Obama is now uprooting this myth, he is revolutionizing American culture. He wipes away the picture of one enemy, without painting another in its place. He preaches against the violent, adversary attitude itself, and starts to work to replace it with a culture of partnership between nations, civilizations and religions.
I see Obama as the first great messenger of the 21st century. He is the son of a new era, where the economy is global and the whole of humanity faces the danger to the very existence of life on the planet Earth. An era where the Internet connects a boy in New Zealand with a girl in Namibia in real time, where a disease in a small Mexican village spreads all over the globe within days.
This world needs a world law, a world order, a world democracy. That’s why this speech really was historic: Obama outlined the basic contours of a world constitution.
WHILE OBAMA proclaims the 21st century, the government of Israel is returning to the 19th.
That was the century when a narrow, egocentric, aggressive nationalism took root in many countries. A century that sanctified the belligerent nation which oppresses minorities and subdues neighbors. The century that gave birth to modern anti-Semitism and to its response – modern Zionism.
Obama’s vision is not anti-national. He spoke with pride about the American nation. But his nationalism is of another sort: an inclusive, multi-cultural and non-sexist nationalism, which includes all the citizens of a country and respects other nations.
This is the nationalism of the 21st century, which is inexorably striving towards supranational, regional and world-wide structures.
Compared to this, how miserable is the mental world of the Israeli Right! How miserable is the violent, fanatical-religious world of the settlers, the chauvinist ghetto of Netanyahu, Lieberman and Barak, the racist-fascist closed-in world of their Kahanist allies!
One has to understand this moral and spiritual dimension of Obama’s speech before considering its political implications. Not only in the political sphere are Obama and Netanyahu on a collision course. The underlying collision is between two mental worlds which are as distinct from each other as the sun and the moon.
In Obama’s mental world, there is no place for the Israeli Right or its equivalents elsewhere. Not for their terminology, not for their “values”, and still less for their actions.
IN THE political sphere, too, a huge gap has opened up between the governments of Israel and the USA.
During the last few years, successive Israeli governments have ridden the wave of Islamophobia that has spread throughout the West. The Islamic world was considered the deadly enemy, America was galloping grimly towards the Clash of Civilizations, every Muslim was a potential terrorist.
Israel’s right-wing leaders could rejoice. After all, the Palestinians are Arabs, the Arabs are Muslims, the Muslims are Terrorists – so that Israel was assured a central place in the war of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness.
That was a Garden of Eden for racist demagogues. Avigdor Lieberman could advocate the expulsion of the Arabs from Israel, Ellie Yishai could enact laws for the revocation of the citizenship of non-Jews. Obscure Members of the Knesset could grab headlines with bills that might have been conceived in Nuremberg.
This Garden of Eden is no more. Whether the implications will become clear quickly or slowly - the direction is obvious. If we continue on our path, we will become a leper colony.
THE TONE makes the music – and this applies also to the President’s words on Israel and Palestine. He spoke at length about the Holocaust – honest and courageous words, full of empathy and compassion, which were received by the Egyptians in silence but with respect. He stressed Israel’s right to exist. And without pausing, he spoke about the suffering of the Palestinian refugees, the intolerable situation of the Palestinians in Gaza, Palestinian aspirations for a state of their own.
He spoke respectfully about Hamas. Not anymore as a “terrorist organization”, but as a part of the Palestinian people. He demanded that they recognize Israel and stop violence, but also hinted that he would welcome a Palestinian unity government.
The political message was clear and unequivocal: the Two-State Solution will be put into practice. He himself will see to that. Settlement activity must cease. Unlike his predecessors, he did not stop at speaking about “Palestinians”, but uttered the decisive word: “Palestine” – the name of a state and a territory.
And no less important: the Iran war has been struck from the agenda. The dialogue with Tehran, as a part of the new world, is not limited in time. As from now, no one can even dream about an American OK for an Israeli attack.
HOW DID official Israel respond? The first reaction was denial. “An unimportant speech”. “There was nothing new”. The establishment commentators picked out a few pro-Israeli sentences from the text and ignored all the others. And after all, “these are just words. So he talked. Nothing will come out of it.”
That is nonsense. The words of the President of the United States are more than just words. They are political facts. They change the perceptions of hundreds of millions. The Muslim public listened. The American public listened. It may take some time for the message to sink in. But after this speech, the pro-Israel lobby will never be the same as it was before. The era of “foile shtik” (Yiddish for sneaky tricks) is over. The sly dishonesty of a Shimon Peres, the guileful deceits of an Ehud Olmert, the sweet talking of a Bibi Netanyahu – all these belong to the past.
The Israeli people must now decide: whether to follow the right-wing government towards an inevitable collision with Washington, as the Jews did 1940 years ago when they followed the Zealots into a suicidal war on Rome – or to join Obama’s march towards a new world.

Speaking like a messiah
To unify the world
But the idea is the same
I wanna see one single real change
Not another speach for the same idea.
Nice words don't make politics... by themselves only.
America seems a bit less arrogant ... but it is just a very small bit.
People were expecting a real change ... I wasn't ...
I hope i was wrong and facts will show me that.

SHUT UP
Yes...
If your mouth is full of shit
And if the lie doesn't fit
If the words keep spreading
While your ass is still sit
If your candle is always wet
And the lamps already lit
If your ideas are away
And were lost for quite a bit
If your mouth is full of shit
And if the lie doesn't fit
If the words keep spreading
While your ass is still sit
If your candle is always wet
And the lamps already lit
If your ideas are away
And were lost for quite a bit

Israel's Shit
This time Israel have made a very big big shit in its war against Gaza. and this time, nobody has got enough paper to wipe their ass.
Some people tried as usual to lick it with their tongues as they used to do ... but the shit was so big that nobody was able to mask its smell ... no matter how they tried, and God knows, they tried hard, with the best motivation and good will .
Nearly, no body was really expecting a small country like Israel to produce al that shit... but to say the truth, some people knows that Israel is capable of even more. Because Israel is shitting here and there all the time, but people who forget forgot ... and those who remember are few and still remember.
let's do something to shut this big Ass and block the shit inside.

LOST FOR WORDS .... read this ... learn about art
LOST FOR WORDS
I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralysed
I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyong your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadowes into the night
To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door
Can you see your days blighted by darkness ?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor ?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me do please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win
Pink Floyd, David Gilmore
I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralysed
I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyong your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadowes into the night
To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door
Can you see your days blighted by darkness ?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor ?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me do please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win
Pink Floyd, David Gilmore

Mccain defends Obama
Mccain found himself in a position where he must defend his opponent when a woman said : i don't like barak, he is ... he is arab. so Mccain quickly took the mic from her and corrected ... " he s from a good family" ...
does that mean that arabs are shit families??

Barak loves muslims and McCain ... a Man of honour
Well well well...
I folowed as many people the discussions about Barak Obama and Mc Cain... the differences, the contrasts and the opposition of points of views and it s true,,... there are la lots of differences.
But it surprises me how many people think that Barak is more an man of peace !!!! well, HE ISN'T ... barak just said that Irak needs to have a withdraw plan. and put all the army in afghanistan ... good, must be the war on terrorisme... barak is willing to hit inside Pakistan (an american ally) and weekning more more the government!!!
What loved the most is when there was a discussion about lives lost... nobody have even make an allusion to the families, civilians, women and children dead under american bombs, in Irak, Afghanista, and even Pakistan... and soon in Sudan (as we can expect from both candidates) and who knows what other country.
Another point, very funny one. I loved when Palin and Biden meet, frankly it was very movemented discussion... the one counters the other. i saw two Vices, fighting with words, defending, establishing strategies, counter attacking, finting, firing double sens words....
BUT, (there must a but, as you may expect from me) , there was a point that estonished me, i found that just very humiliating for a vice president. Biden saying "I love Israel" and Palin responding "i love Israel too" as if she was scared somebody would think she might not love israel that much. And they both were very committed in Israel defense... and again nobody talked about when Israel does what it does to palestinians (and also here i am talking about civilians.. tens dying every week) not a word. and even the woman leading the discussion didn't find it useful to ask about that !!! what a surprise... WELL ... IT SHOUNDN'T BE.
The point is here REALLY, IT SHOULD NOT BE A SURPRISE. The american will do what is best for them ... and don't ask me why, but, also what is best for Israel. (to know why go here http://www.ihr.com/)
So as we MUST be expecting. both american future presidents are assholes (from my point of view) or both of them are great Men of honour. Depends how you see the glass, half empty or 2 halves empty.
WE SHALL NOT SURRENDER ....
ONE DAY WILL COME AND WE WILL RETURN TO BE MEN AGAIN...
honour and pride

Richard Write died
it is with a great sadness that i ve discovered today that Pink floyd Member and one of the founders af the greatest Band of all times, have died after a struggle with cancer.
may Allah bless his soul for all the good ART he s being producing for long years...
only now i feel that Pink Floyd is not anymore.... all good things have an END
And i feel a breeze of sadness invading my inside body.
I don't know if words can give me some warmth...
I don't know... my feelings are so confused right now
so he wasn't a god between the gods
may be Gilmour is!!!
let me pray for his soul and forgiveness
