My first vivid memory of a political phenomena called elections was decades ago when I remembered a contender for some political seat handing blue wads of money to some of the adults in our neighborhood who were acting on our behalf, the innocent and naïve teenagers, to strike a quick ephemeral political deal with the man. 

Hot damn! My head is having a monstrous amount of headache and weariness. And the truth is that I wasn’t going to write a damn thing about the issue of Ben Laden’s death just as I was never concerned about writing anything about him when he was alive.  But as soon as I saw how the man obsessed the world and how he had really possessed some sort of a superlative super-power hovering around him alive as well as death I couldn’t refrain from hitting the keyboard. 

There has been a lot of talk about revolution lately.  And that’s very normal considering the fact that this latter is always considered a radical choice for political and social and economic changes by political romantics all over the world.  And it is not a surprise that the same sort of talk basically goes back to times as ancient as the prophet  Isaiah. And we obviously know that a lot of intellectuals and philosophers had done greatly good job contributing to the same talks by elaborating and pondering upon the definition of Revolution but only to come out with a plethora of theories that differ in the cultural implication of the term as well as its application in the concrete field of political affairs.  Some have elaborated about the word Revolution directly in their writings, others, ironically, did it without knowing that their writings were revolutionary in essence.

New York  / Morocco Board News       Whether it is the superego with its mere fixation on the image of the Pharaoh, or the ego with its defense mechanism materializing in authoritarianism and repression, or just selfish blindness, is what that drive the so called Hussni Mubarak to cling desperately to the legs of his presidential chair. But to me and to the plain eye of the world, right now, it is perhaps the effect of the whole enchilada above, plus a generous dash of stiff-nekdeness that coerce him to do so. 

Washington  / Morocco Board News-   The policies of Bouteflika, Algeria's president, which persists in sustaining the [Western Sahara Separatists] Polisario Front with arms and space for operating, Diplomatic and intelligence cover and his total control over their agenda is an example of the psycho-pathological case called La Folie-A-Deux.  One doesn’t have to scrutinize deep into this paranoid behavior in order to find the elements and symptoms of this awkward, malevolent relationship.
