I am an Egyptian American born in Alexandria. I immigrated to the US in the late eighties, during this time lived in many places in US and Europe. I work as an IT manager and love it. I love to travel, it makes me feel young, and it awakes in me sense of adventure and curiosity. I love knowing people from different cultures; it never fails to amaze me how we all live in our little worlds that never meet. History is my second amazement, it always differ depending on who is winning, that leads me to my third hobby, politics is it history or human nature that is the culprit?
SHARE Thursday, October 26, 2006 Iraq: The One and Only Way Out
The only valid question today should not be why we invaded Iraq. History will answer that question. We need to get out of this mess without paying a price for years to come -- and there is only one way out!
SHARE Thursday, October 19, 2006 America waiting for a Yunus!
Is it too much to dream that a Yunus will come to America?
That the price of a single Abrams tank can pay for thousands of families to start new life in Gaza, the west bank or Baghdad.

SHARE Monday, October 9, 2006 Dear Democratic Party leaders, are you up to the job?
Dear Democratic Party leaders, I do not have a magic wand, I cannot rewrite your political agenda, but this time it is not about you, or your party, or your politics, it is about America, our future and our survival. Are you up to the job?
SHARE Wednesday, October 4, 2006 On the Intifada's anniversary, is there a winner?
The Israeli forces or settlers killed people like us but live on $2.10 a day. People with no hope, and the only dream they had called Oslo turned slowly over seven years into a nightmare. This is when people like us rise against their captors that insist on killing or degrading them. The sixth anniversary of the Intifada is a very sad memory of how the world failed and how it is paying the price.
SHARE Wednesday, September 27, 2006 The world is laughing, are we listening?
The world leaders nodded their heads up and down while looking at each other as the Venezuelan president described his American counterpart as lunatic that thinks he owns the world. The signs of all that the US has lost in respect, diplomacy and world influence were tragically visible, though the US media failed to report them.
SHARE Sunday, September 17, 2006 The big bad wolf will eat US!
The boy is not really a boy it is the Republican Party, the president and the media. The cry is not because they are bored, with nothing to do while they are watching over the sheep. It is an intentional cry, and by coincident it happens every two years!
SHARE Wednesday, September 13, 2006 The untold story of accountability and security (Healthcare & Homeland)
As the fifth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to decide on our next choice for representative. It is time to reflect and review the record, make choices not based on fear, or, the lesser of two evils but by learning the record.

Simplicity is and will continue to be America's greatest threat. To win the war on terror, we need to identify analyze and understand the real enemy. It took America fifty years to understand communism, and only then we became the victors. The question becomes who is the enemy? Is it Islam the religion? Is it American Muslims? Or is it extremism?
