As some people know, I’m half Syrian, and my grandma, Uncle, Aunts, and a few of my cousins all live in Damascus. My family are Christian too. I was in Damascus only 3 weeks before everything kicked off in 2011, and I was really surprised…

A few words on Syria

August 30, 2013

Although I lived through the Thatcher years, I didn’t ‘live’ through the Thatcher years, I was too young to understand or remember all the things she did while in power. So my respect for her is based on what I learned about her from books,…

The Real Tragedy of 9/11

Final Words on Bush…(I hope!)

January 20, 2009

So much has happened in the world recently, and unfortunately the best part when George Bush got shoes thrown at him today in Iraq (see the YouTube video below) didn’t work out so well and missed his head. Bush was his usual smug self pleased…

Obama Wins – I Can Finally Forgive My American Friends!

November 5, 2008

You know you’re back in the US when people don’t understand you saying “tomato” anymore… I got back yesterday to Baltimore after my week home in the UK and will be here for another 3 weeks. However I have noticed some disturbing developments in the…
