الاتجاه المعاكس- الشعوب والحكام في العالم العربي
This is the translation of Faisal AlQasims Statement.
Why do we constantly blame our Arab leaders and not ourselves for our misery, lack of improvements and falling behind? Lets examine this letter which was written by an Arab leader to his people.
Listen to me my good fellow people; you think that I am uncivilized and overly feared? Arent you also overly feared? Arent you also fearful? As you have been so confused over your continuous lack of improvements, I am also confused of your overly feared disease that is concurred in your hearts and minds!
If you see me bowing to America, it is because America had made me who I am, and put me in this power. But, how come you still stand up shaking and bowing with fear in front of my majesty everyday?
What makes you bow in front of me and phrase my name days and nights?
What makes you lose your power to oppose me and disagree with my judgments? You did not elect me to rule you, and you do not have the power to elect me now. I do not ask for your opinion in my daily decisions that matters to you and your life, and you do not even have the guts to ask for it.
What stops you from standing up in my face? Ive treated you badly for so many decades, and I have locked you up in prison for so many years, but youre still the same, and you have not changed, you still praise me, respect me, and call me the greatest names.
My royal family and I have stolen all your goods, all your wills, and everything you have owned; and we spent it to the last dime. While you are still poor, hungry, sick, uncivilized and falling behind, with all that, still you dont raise your voice to stop me.
You saw me stepping on your precious, valuables, identity, your honor and liberty, and you did not even have the strength to whisper in my ear with objections. Do you even have the power to scream with pain as I stab your heart with my sword deeper and deeper? I will challenge you, and I will bet that you cannot do anything about it, because you are a wimp, a pussy, and so frightened of me.
As Pharaoh once was asked: Who announced you t o be a pharaoh? He said: I never found anyone to stop me from being one.
In response to this;
Dont fish usually become rotten from its head my long lasting leader?
Doesnt the crooked tail of the Ox, come from the big Ox itself?
Dont the stairs usually get washed from the top step to the bottom?
Have you heard Jamal Adean Alafaghani when he said You are as you have been governed?
Arent you my long lasting leader responsible for our lack of improvements, advancing in life and falling so far behind?
Should we blame the kids for the family loss? Or should we blame the father for it?
Didnt Abdul Rahman Alkawakubi once said, My fellow leaders, all the troubles that is facing your people, and the poison that was injected into their cells is caused by your leadership ignorant?
Our people raise their kids with honor, dignity and good behaviors. But you my long lasting leader have ruined it and destroyed it.
Why do you do that?
Isnt it because bad leaderships cannot survive in good environments, so they go on destroying it to live as they wish, and to spread their wings as they desire?
