FRENCH REVOLUTION

First of all, I do not wish to write just to fill the paper with ink or to count how many words there, I would rather wish to write for the sake of objectivity, and one tries to write straight to the point. Frankly speaking, We should try hard to convey the message in the shortest way possible; otherwise, it does only mean that we do not write but instead we lose the opportunity to make our message reach the reader.

I was wondering why I use the slogan of the French revolution which is Fraternite, Liberte, Egalite. Well I would say these words are not purely French. It is first of all human expression (feelings). I can say something universal and banal that everybody understand very easily. I would give the example the music, it is world language, it does not need translation. Does it? However, it depends on the listener’s taste and mood. Thus, music is all about mood and let me add another thing which is the culture and I will give you the chance to think about this or maybe you can add to that something that support this saying.


This saying is as exactly as the music; Freedom, Liberty, Self-confidence are common and universal values. The same applies to the abovementioned French words which are basically universal and the circumstances provoked the French revolutionists at that time to pronounce this rule.

What does this mean? Does this mean that I am in part influenced by the French culture? The answer is yes, and why not to be so. If man is able to learn new things everyday so why not? Humans influence each other in good and bad things. In short, we should not deny the French influence in the entire world in the past and at present, France plays very good role in the world of today although this role is facing fierce competition because of the US preponderant dominance of the world of today. However, I hope that France keeps the same strong level of friendship with the Arab world as it has been always. France and Arab countries have very strong and historic relationships since long time ago, the geographic closeness helped much in strengthening these ties.

Sarkozy takes over office at this year 2007 and Arabs hope that Sarkozy maintain the same level of ties with them as they were at the time of Mr. Chirac. France can help in the establishment of just, comprehensive and lasting peace in our religion. Arabs looking for French help in this regard. It is known that France plays very positive role in this area and we wish that she continues that direction.

The French policy is intelligent and positive in most cases, and I notice this very closely through my observation of the French updates. French like to seize and create opportunities, establish relations with states and restore the deteriorated relations. This policy has always been ambiguous and undercover. I wonder if this policy would succeed or has succeeded. However, French fear the US great dominance in the world and they are looking for a role to play in this world and they are right.

Before ending this article I would like to ask if French will be able to continue the direction of seizing opportunities and recover their ex-dominance in the world, a success, if achieved, will create the necessary balance of the world of today where monopole policy widely weighs.
