Barack Obama...President

…And Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States

Many Lebanese are disappointed today…Not because they are racist…

It is because they fear that the Obama administration will strike a deal with Syria which might affect negatively on Lebanon’s independence…

But think again!!...

If the Obama administration starts negotiating with Iran and Syria; shouldn’t the Lebanese government have a saying about that?

Shouldn’t the Lebanese government set all the options on how to handle the Hezbollah issue?

Anyways…the Lebanese government should be prepared to take advantage of any kind of change that Obama will bring into the US foreign policy…especially in the Middle East…

And I think Obama will put the Middle East dilemma (with its complex issues of Iraq, Iran and the peace process) very high on his list of priorities…

Barack Obama is a man who is made to bring in historic changes…and it is only with a man such as Obama that a historic change will see the light in the Middle East…

1-To re-open the US embassy in Iran
2-To institutionalize and liberalize Iraq
3-To push for a breakthrough in the Arab-Israeli peace process
