Swobodin v Brně

Living in Czech Republic without having time to visit Prague as a tourist is just like closing the window, turning light on while sun is shining outside!

Saturday I started to find out about a luxurious and magnificent city, my objective was to challenge Japanese tourists and to shot more than 1000 pictures, it was […]

 The actual issue these days in the Czech Republic is about a Petition Against Missile Base.
The United States wishes to construct a military base in the Czech Republic, which is supposed to protect the US against attack by ballistic missiles. However, this base would not protect the Czech Republic. On the contrary, it would […]

Can’t find better for the moment. Simply great!

Found out this open letter on a wall yesterday night. On the left side, there’s the picture of Codolezza Rice and African slaves.
A friend helped me to translate the content, it was not perfect, but here is the main idea.

Dear Madam the minister,
Please do not forget your slave origins.
Thy got their freedom.
Let freedom and […]

I liked this post that I found on a forum:

I’m so tired to listen all that “Bush is bad and a liar and war in Iraq is illegal and blah blah…” stuff, so I clear a few points for you.
First of all every American should know that Bush is inspired by God himself! He […]

كان في مرة طفل صغير
عم يلعب بالحارة
عم بيفتش
واتطلع
شوفو
شوفو شوفو طيارة
جاية لعندي الطيارة
 
كان في مرة طفل صغير
عم يلعب بالحارة
عم بيفتش
واتطلع
مدري شو عم يلمع
شوفو شوفو طيارة
جاية لعندي الطيارة
 
هي طيارة كبيرة
وما بدها خيطان
وجوانحها أكبر
من بيت الجيران
فرفح قلبه وطار
عـجناح الطيارة
والسماء الكلها أسرار
حكيت له أسرارها
 
وقف بالساحة
ينده رفقاته
كان هدير الطيارة
أكبر من كل الأصوات
(صمت تام)
…
 
تجمعوا الولاد
وفاتو باللعبة
وهزت البلاد
قصة مثل الكذبة
والهدير تحول
لدخان كبير
ومدري […]

Here’s my point of view of the situation in Iraq.
The picture is very simple (done in 20 minutes), no humor and expresses my thoughts.
I got the Iraq map and the kamikaze shape from the Open Clipart and did the rest with Inkscape.

Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war.

Herbert Hoover

سمعت هذا الحوار البارحة بتونس العاصمة
-أنا مانبكيش وقت الصلاة أما برجولية مرة بركة بكيت وقت اللي الإمام كان يدعي على اليهود. تأثرت بصفة كبيرة. هو كيف تجي تشوف يلزم الخشوع وقت الصلاة و حتى البكاء، هكة قال عمر خالد
أولا, لم أكن أعلم أن أئمتنا بهذا القدر من التطرف حتى يبثوا الحقد والبغض والعنصرية فتصل دعواهم […]

It seems that war is over, a cease fire was declared by the U.N. and refugees are getting back home.
Meanwhile, the result was considered as a victory for the shiite movement Hezbollah. It might be true that the militia made serious damages to Israeli Army, but at which price? Blood of civilian Lebanese, children […]

Lorsque l’on parle d’une chanson pour la Paix, on ne peut omettre l’œuvre de León Gieco — Sólo le pido a Dios (Seulement je prie à Dieu) qui impressionne tant par ses paroles que par sa musique et son noble message.
Intutilée la Chanson Universelle de la Paix, la chanson du rock argentin Sólo le […]

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Mahatma Gandhi
 

Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.

If the heaven exists on the earth, I would say it’s one of these two places, kept away from human beings, but full of hate, intolerance, fanaticism …

I finally could download a huge Mafalda comic strip collection  (is it illegal? No copyright was held anyway) that I had fun reading and re-reading.
Mafalda is a 6-year-old prodigious girl who is always worried about Humanity and Peace.
Mafalda was “born” in the 60’s by the Argentine cartoonist Quino who used the character to express his political […]

 
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of […]
