How Many Calories In Bean And Ham Soup

Letter to Professor Ben Achour Yadh; am not the servant of those who made and are still wrong, have robbed Tunisia, have despised the Tunisian people, murdering citizens, but also those who watched them and still watch without doing anything.

I address this comment in respect of your skills, your guidance, your person and those members designated by you to the high commission of political reform.
I read twice the text of this eminent "Tunisian lawyer, specializes in public law and Islamic political theory. Former Dean of the Faculty of Legal Sciences of Tunis, a member of the Institute of International Law. Currently head of the High-reform policy. "
I confess I had trouble understanding the main theme of the article, because you use rather abstract language that ordinary people can not assimilate or understand its scope.
The use of jargon and unintelligible is not new. It was so during the Middle Ages, the priests celebrating Mass in Latin so that the message remains a mystery to ordinary citizens. Today, economists use mathematical equations and statistical models to the point that nobody can understand or challenge the arguments or the solutions they propose. The ordinary citizen's farm fear being mistaken for an idiot. The lawyers are no exception to this rule.
Dear Professor, an eminent jurist and theorist, I see no exception and do you handle well in the complex art of making what is simple. This observation leads me to believe that many consequences are possible.
First, the new laws and the constitution that you propose being at the head of the High Commission of the reform policy will be written in code and mysterious. Only specialists and experts can understand the significance of the new laws.
Secondly, the High Commission for Political Reform, composed of legal theorists, never deliver that text out of the reach of ordinary citizens and Mr. and Mrs. everybody.
Third, to propose new laws will be approved by figurines Benali to the National Assembly, government ministries, governorates and elsewhere. How is it possible to say a certainty, and I quote "It is a certainty, however: in Tunisia, but eventually throughout the Arab world, nothing will ever be before January 2011. "I am puzzled, because there is a high risk that history will repeat itself, as after the revolt of January 1978, Gafsa revolt in 1980, The Revolt of 1984, the Change of November 7 ....
I remember a lesson Rousseau's "The general will alone can direct the forces of the state. The people subject to laws should be the authors'
Professor, I wonder how many ordinary citizens they participate in the high commission of political reform? Referendum committees in each region will take place? The terms and mechanics of the process of developing policy and legal reforms were they planned? Who does what? When?, Where? How? etc ...
Fifth, the Tunisian people are now seeking a project oriented company Dignity, respect for freedom, human rights, democracy, etc.. The Tunisian people demonstrated his extraordinary uprising that is far ahead of the intellectuals. I do not believe that intellectuals, who did not see it coming, did not anticipate and do not participate actively in the uprising of the Tunisian people are able to translate and aggregate the aspirations of Tunisia (ne) s in a collective project that meets their expectations and hopes.
Skills theoretical executive committee does not constitute a sufficient condition, as shown in rule common sense: "The theory is when we know everything and nothing works. Practice is when everything works and nobody knows why. "
My vision is that the Tunisian people, very cultured, educated, gentle, and brave to be the author of legislation which will be submitted tomorrow. First, the massive involvement and real citizen (ne) s of Tunisia (on) ss'avère capital as part of the profound transformation of laws and institutions. Secondly, it is not with the old guard for more than 50 years in power, we can define a collective project of a decent society, free and democratic. The old still keeps in power, an old guard who was an accomplice or witness massacres of citizens, applying two assumptions: 1) the law of Lavoisier in chemistry "nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed", 2) dynamic law of inertia, that is to say it has to change if it remains as before and even our pire.Dans Arabic dialect "Tnahhi Bsall Ras, Ras youthlaa Thoum. "
To avoid skidding to work in isolation in an ivory tower, it seems appropriate, relevant, democratic and urgent to be listening to many voices, including that of Ahmed Mestiri requesting a meeting Constituent Representative, which would be better able to aggregate individual aspirations in a collective project of society, that is to say in a new constitution to be approved by a referendum.
As an immediate task and prior to political reform, is it not appropriate to adopt as soon as possible legislation (The Tunisian Senate voted Wednesday, 9 February in Tunis at a law allowing interim president to rule by decree Law), which law should abolish the death penalty and guarantee to all Tunisian whatever the nature of the crimes he has committed to stand trial court transparent independent and respecting human rights. With this legislation will make it possible to ask the front door of the dictator's extradition on the run, his family and his clan. Thus, they can not take it easy in the host countries such as Saudi Arabia, Canada or elsewhere. By adopting this law whose application in Tunisia must be strict, no country can deny the request for extradition of the provisional government. If a foreign government refuses to respond positively to the request of Tunisia, while it is understood that foreign government is in collusion with the dictator and his clan on the run and therefore against the will of the Tunisian people. . As a Tunisian university living in Canada for thirty years, I feel abused and despised to see that Belhassen Trabelsi and his clan take it easy here in Canada with the wealth of Tunisian and seeking political refugee status. All the Tunisian community in Canada saw the circus as a tragedy that touches them deep in their interiors. A law of this nature will be a tool that will remind Republican 20 times any future apprentice dictator. On this dimension
legal and technical Professor Ben Achour, his fellow experts, judges and lawyers can contribute and use their skills. Since it opened
comment with a quote from Albert Einstein, allow me to conclude with another quote that I change for the purposes of my remarks. I think I have legitimate reasons "to be afraid of those who have been and are still wrong, have robbed Tunisia, have despised the Tunisian people, murdering citizens, but also those who watched them and look even without doing anything.
