Yesterday, it looked like we might actually get through this who Pakistan thing. A few weeks ago, when Bhutto was assassinated, it seemed inevitable that Pakistan would just become a ticking time bomb, the next Iran. But after a generally peaceful election, it seems like there might be a peaceful change of power.
Yesterday, the toughest man in politics stepped down. Fidel Castro, after almost 50 years of authoritarian rule in Cuba announced he would retire. He survived sanctions and assassination attempts by the world’s superpower, and remained in control until the last moment.
Yesterday, a black man and a white woman debate which of them would make a better President. A country, whose history is filled with oppression, is considering them both as legitimate candidates for its highest office.
Today, I struggle as always, to remain objective and independent. As fascinated as I may be, I have to keep in mind that this isn’t my fight.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
