Conteh,

It could not have been said any better, and i share exactly the same
sentiments. May Allah help all of us to be truthful, sincere, and to work for
the greater good always, and not for special interest which helps a selected
few, but does irreparable harm to one and all in the long run, and will
continue to be  a tumbling block to the achievement of truely controlling our
own destiny and securing a future that gives all of us a fair shake always,
no matter to which party we pledge our allegiances.
