Crooks and Liars:
Reuters News Service did a series of videos from all over the world with messages to President-elect Obama. The rough translations of the Iraqi messages (from YouTube):
1. (English) BAQEE NAQED, JOURNALIST, SAYING : "I as an Iraqi, I am asking Obama to keep his promise about withdrawing the U.S. security forces here from our land and we want friendly ties with Iraq people and government. We do not need an occupation here, we need people to help us to improve security situation and services."
2. (Arabic) MOHAMMED AL-SHABIKY CITIZEN, SAYING: "We hope from Obama to hold talks with neighbouring countries and represent new U.S. policy in Middle East and more specifically in Iraq."
3. (Arabic) FADHIL AL-SHAMREE, BANKER, SAYING: "We call upon Mr. President Obama to hold good relations with Iraq and pullout U.S. and multi-national forces from Iraq as soon as possible.".
There are more video postcards from Iran, Nairobi, Cuba, China, Israel, Palestine, France, Australia, and Russia. How inspiring it is to have so many people all over the planet regain hope in the US from this election.
People are now hopefull all around the World as they look for a Leader in a US President. Yes for 8years the US has had a liar and idiot as President and the World suffered as well as the USA. With a history making 365 Electorial Votes Obama/Biden have brought hope and pride back to America and as the World looks on they too will have peace.
