There's NO Will of the People

At the risk of sounding a pompous, arrogant, elitist...let me tell you something  -- "People's will" is a MYTH.

Collectively, people don't have a will, they have common grievances. It is not because people are essentially stupid -- (which they are for the most part), it is because people are first and foremost motivated by immediate self interests.  When there is self interest, there is NO will. It's logic.

Any leader understands this basic equation and capitalizes on it, playing it to the maximum.

Hence, any derivative of the "will of the people" is mere chimera. Democracy is one of them.

As To Why I Am Not Writing...

Madad Ya Rasul Allah

Today, almost all the Arabic radio stations I listened to played a Nasheed praising Habib Allah, Al Mustafa, RasulAllah, Mohammed - A thousand prayers and blessings be upon him.


So I am playing one too. This one by Sheikh Hamza Shakur, Syrian master of the mystical song.
