Today, we mourn the loss of Nelson Mandela and celebrate his gift of forgiveness and reconciliation to the whole world!
As it turns out Mandela was the 20th century’s greatest global citizen inspiring the whole world.
As the 21st century unfolds, our children and their children will require all the inspiration of Mandela to navigate their future challenges.
As the Middle East struggles with antiquated ideals that no longer function for its people, Mandela can provide inspiration forward.
In fact, we now need to allow the Mandela gift to lead us into a new 21st Century that pays homage to this first truly global leader called MADIBA!
In Mandelas’ better world, there are no white or black people. There are no Muslim, Christian, or Jewish people. There is no such thing as exclusion. We’re all human beings!
In the new Middle East Union, as proposed by the new MiddleEastUnionCongress.org, there will be no white, no black, no Jewish, no Muslim, and no Christian people. There will only be people with the right to live in peace as one with respect and honor for one another.
In this spirit, I propose that the new Middle East Union create its new capital and call it Nelson Mandela City; a green new city of hope; a home for everyone.
But taking this positive action sends a message to every human within the union and around the world that the Middle East is a new world, a new place where freedom rings, democracy thrives, human rights are just and right, and every citizen of the Union is special, respected and honored with all the rights and respect embodied in the life of Nelson Mandela.
