Has Anyone Had Herpes Scars

Privatization revenues, nationalize the losses or the past let us clean slate

Two men of the past resigned in quick succession, to my greatest joy. Thabo Mbeki from the presidency of South Africa, with a rather negative. Smokers spend on his theories about AIDS or his friendship with Mugabe, Mbeki particularly unworthy for not having taken advantage of the tremendous potential of South Africa. Blackouts throughout the country, unable to resolve African conflicts, insecurity hallucinating, widespread corruption, South Africa is in poor condition, while the country could be a paradise on earth and a regional power, even in- beyond. Desmond Tutu, whom I spoke on the occasion of a post on the beautiful philosophy of Ubuntu, Mbeki was accused of surrounding himself with yes-men, to create a small black and dene oligarchy not think enough to townships. Mbeki, who spent decades outside of South Africa, has surely sinned by lack of knowledge of the country. On his estate, it will soon be the end of the Xhosa to the presidency after Madiba and Mbeki and Zulu time as Jacob Zuma will surely come. In the meantime, Kgalema Motlanthe becomes president by the grace of the ANC, former Marxist party that has kept the good habit of confusing state finances and Cais Party.

The Israeli Olmert had the same habit. He quits his job Prime Minister of leaving a legacy that seems impossible to manage for his prospective successor, let the term male because I do not know how they say in the feminine. Tzipi Livni, if she will not have the easy part, and is already opening an alliance between Kadima and Bibi Netanayahou of dark memory. We can only hope the success of this pragmatic woman who is negotiating for a lasting peace with the Palestinians, and who knows, threatened on every side, Israel can not afford to be undermined by corruption scandals that have punctuated the mandate Ehud Olmet. At a time when Syria is preparing to return to Lebanon if not, in any case a confrontation Next, Israel's interest to show a united front, and for that, a wipe scale required. It will begin by admitting some past errors and to stop bad habits.

And yesterday's man gets a makeover, or almost. Redemption is fashionable, but I never thought that Samir Geagea, although Christian leader, is right. Yet he did this weekend in a move that does not lack panache. Only militia leader in Lebanon had served a prison sentence, he is also the only one to publicly atone for the crimes of the Lebanese Forces to turn the page on the past. Of course, this is not sufficient to Aoun, who wanted an apology and the nominal head of president, but never ask forgiveness for his personal abuses. You do not Geagea, Geagea I do not like, but you must recognize a will (apparent?) Exceed the horrors of the past. Does this mean a man with a future in Lebanon? Unlike South Africa or Israel, is not assured.
