Should we hope 4 change?

What many around the world hoped for came to reality; Obama is the president elect of the U.S. I did hope that he wins but not necessarily because I like his policies and believe he will be neutral and fair in his foreign especially Middle East policies but basically I thought his opponent McCain would be disastrous as a president and continuation of miserable Bush administration.
People around the world rejoiced after the elections results and hopes for a better world rose even the financial markets and oil prices were refreshed for a moment and I think again it’s not because Obama is going to perform miracles in saving the economic and financial crisis but I guess because of the relief that dumb head Bush is gonna be history soon. The question is will history ever forgive Bush and his axis of evil aides? Will he be forgiven for the thousands of innocent people killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and even U.S citizens as he is off course to blame for sending those U.S soldiers abroad to kill and be killed? Will we ever forget Bush’s irresponsible stupid policies that led the world to this horrible status?
Will Obama really make a positive difference and is he capable of bringing good change to the world? Am not sure given the current status of the world and challenges he is gonna face as Bush is leaving him a world filled with mines. Could Obama come in at a worse time?
Those of us in the Middle East who saw some hope in this elections results I think we should hold our horses and see what’s really gonna change if any in terms of the U.S blind unjustifiable support to Israel. By the way the first official appointment in Obama’s administration is his White House chief of staff who is known for his close ties with Israel. Does this ring an alarm?
Well we hope for the best and expect the worse. Anyway I don’t think anyone can be worse than Bush.
