Ok folks it is our annual date with the Time 100 list , the most 
influential people in the year 2008 .
This year there is no Egyptian in the list but there are Arabs .
Here are the Arabs who made it this year: "arranged respectively"
1- Muqtada Al-Sadr in rank No.13 : Whether you like him or not , he is giving the Americans hard time in Iraq "The profile is written by General Ricardo Sanchez"
2-Sheikh Mohammed Al-Maktoum in rank no.30 : To tell the truth ,I do not like this man , I do not know why , yes Dubai is great and so on but after several incidents like the French boy and also a similar Case of an Egyptian lady "The profile is written by Scott Macleod, Egypt and Middle East correspondent of Time Magazine"
3- Madeeha Hasan Odhaib in rank no.32 : I have never heard about this astonishing Iraqi woman , I think what she had done shows that there is still hope in Iraq "The profile is written by Queen Rania of Jordan"
4- Ali Al Naimi in rank no.80 : The minister Petroleum and Mineral Resources of Saudi Arabia is not an easy position especially during this time in this world "The profile is written by Lynn Westfall ,Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of External Affairs of Tesoro Corporation"
5- Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal in rank no.89 : One of the richest man in the world and the richest man in the Arab world ,I think he is not used to be ranked as low as this . "The Profile is written by Al Jazeera international TV host Riz Khan"
6- Mo Ibrahim in rank no.96 : The African who is dreaming of better Africa , his Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership was the talk of town last year especially our President did not take it despite what is said about his wise leadership. "The profile is written by William Easterly , an economist at NY university"
That's folks no more Arabs
Still the list contains interesting names and ranks from the Dalai Lama to Bragelina to Miley Cryus
By the Way Khaled Hosseini, the author of the best selling The Kite Runner is in rank no.66 , the one who wrote his profile is the current First lady Laura Bush !! I do not know why , may be because she thinks that her hubby liberated Afghanistan !!
Alsadr is giving Americans a hard time.
ReplyDeleteOhh my ass is aching me: then who was drilling and acidifying sunnis and seculars in Bagdad, who has allied with Americans to crack down on the resistance.
I can't believe that anyone can be as much stupid as you are.
That's why , I am postively sure that ou are safavid one ( your greandfather was a safavid:))
think, you are deliberately
I'm glad you mentioned who wrote the profiles, the fact that Queen Rania, and Laura Bush wrote two of them made it more interesting.
