      Poeta Buland Al-Hajdari, urodzony w Bagdadzie w 1926, uciekł przed tyranią w
      Bagdadzie do Bejrutu, a stamtąd do Londynu i tam zmarł. Pisanie rozpoczął w
      latach 40tych, należał do twórców, ktorzy przyczynili się do zrewolucjonizowania
      poezji i zmodernizowania całej kultury arabskiej. Był częśćią środowiska
      literackiego, które bezbrzeżnie wierzyło w siłę słowa i związek między reformą
      literatury a zmianą polityczną. Buntowali się przeciwko tyranii, zwyczajom i
      tradycjom, przeciwko światu swoich przodków. Pochodził z rodziny zamożnych
      właścicieli ziemskich, z której wywodziło się wielu sędziów religijnych,
      uczonych, urzędników państwowych. Mieli korzenie kurdyjskie, ale w tamtych
      czasach świat elit był wystarczająco płynny, by miejsca starczało i dla nich.
      Byli filarami ancien regime'u monarchii irackiej, która powstała pod brytyjską
      kontrolą w 1921. Nie wiadomo dokładnie co spowodowało, że młody Buland
      al-Hajdari skierował się przeciwko własnej rodzinie i ku lewicowym poglądom. Tak
      czy inaczej, w wieku 16 lat znajdujemy go przed gmachem sądu, w którym szefował
      jego wuj. Młody poeta zajmuje się pisaniem petycji i podań analfabetom.

      Kiedy w krwawej rewolucji 1958 obalono stary reżim, a krol Fajsal II i jego
      rodzina zostali zamordowani w wyniku wojskowego zamachu, Buland al-Hajdari,
      przekonani byli, że nadchodzi nowy, lepszy .świat, koniec panowania posiadaczy
      ziemskich, monarchii i wpływów brytyjskich. Miało być to spełnienie snów całej
      jego generacji, ktore tak opisał inny poeta, Abd al-Wahhab al-Bajdari:
      W moim mieście wzeszło
      słońce
      Dzwony
      Biją na rzecz bohaterów
      Wstań, ukochana
      jesteśmy wolni.

      Ale nowy reżim wkrótce sam zaczął spływać krwią. Kraj staczał się ku epoce
      okrucieństwa i krwawych łaźni, a Buland al-Bajdari na krótko sam się znalazł w
      więzieniu. Po wyjściu zaczął szukać ratunku przed przemocą w Bejrucie. W tym
      łaskawym mieście przyłączył do innych życiowych rozbitków, tak jak i oni
      oczarowany pełną wyrozumiałości atmosferą miasta. Zaprzyjaźnił się z poetami i
      pisarzami wszelkich orientacji - komunistami, nacjonalistami arabskimi,
      zwolennikami identyfikacji Syrii i Libanu z kulturą śródziemnomorską. Kochał
      Bejrut za daną mu życiową szansę. Pisał książki o powiązaniu między kulturą i
      sztuką, o historii muzułmańskiej architektury sakralnej. Tworzył wiersze i brał
      udział w konstruowaniu nowego arabskiego nacjonalizmu. Kiedy głosił 'arabski
      nacjonalizm', miał na myśli właśnie to: podźwignięcie się z ubóstwa, zacofania i
      zależności. Nowe życie wymagało nowej literatury i Al-Hajdari poświęcil temu
      swoje życie. Kurdyjskie pochodzenie nie przeszkadzało mu w głoszeniu swej
      arabskości, gdyż głęboko wierzył w pojemność arabskiej kultury, zdolnej objąć
      wszystkie religie, odłamy i mniejszości. Tworzył poezję arabską i oczekiwał
      arabskiego świtu. W latach 50-tych i 60-tych jego głos o 'arabskim renesansie' w
      kulturze i piśmiennictwie był głosem wieszczym.

      Kiedy grunt w Bejrucie zaczął płonąć, a sen o arabskim przebudzeniu rozpłynął
      się w konfliktach religijnych i społecznych, Al-Hajdari wyjechał do Londynu.
      "Bunt i uchodźctwo od początku były moim żywiołem" - powiedział na krótko przed
      śmiercią. Został pochowany w Londynie.

      • drf Freedom, our most lethal weapon against tyranny. 02.03.05, 01:30
        Some ancient Chinese philosopher is said to have taught his students that one
        cannot understand an event simply by attempting to reconstruct a chain of
        causality leading up to it. Instead, one must immerse oneself in the context, to
        fully understand the moment in which the event took place. If you get the
        context right, you can understand what came before and what comes after.


        That sort of understanding is important both for historians and leaders.

        If that ancient wise man were alive today and were asked to summarize the unique
        characteristics of this historical moment, he would say "revolution." We are
        living in a revolutionary age, that started more than a quarter century ago in
        Spain after the death of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. At that time, hardly
        anyone believed it possible to go from dictatorship to democracy without great
        violence, and most Spaniards feared that the terrible civil war of the 1930s —
        which ended when Franco seized power and installed a military dictatorship —
        would begin anew. Instead, thanks to a remarkable generation of political
        leaders, some savvy priests, and the grossly underrated King Juan Carlos, Spain
        passed smoothly and gracefully into democracy.

        It was the beginning of the Age of the Second Democratic Revolution. Spain
        inspired Portugal, and the second Iberian dictatorship gave way to democracy.
        Spain and Portugal inspired all of Latin America, and by the time Ronald Reagan
        left office there were only two unelected governments south of the Rio Grande:
        Cuba and Surinam. These successful revolutions inspired the Soviet satellites,
        and then the Soviet Union itself, and the global democratic revolution reached
        into Africa and Asia, even threatening the tyrants in Beijing.

        The United States played a largely positive role in almost all these
        revolutions, thanks to a visionary president — Ronald Reagan — and a generation
        of other revolutionary leaders in the West: Walesa, Havel, Thatcher, John Paul
        II, Bukovsky, Sharansky, among others.

        There was then a pause for a dozen years, first during the presidency of Bush
        the Elder, who surrounded himself with short-sighted self-proclaimed "realists"
        and boasted of his lack of "the vision thing," and then the reactionary Clinton
        years, featuring a female secretary of state who danced with dictators. Having
        led a global democratic revolution, and won the Cold War, the United States
        walked away from that revolution. We were shocked into resuming our unfinished
        mission by the Islamofascists, eight months into George W. Bush's first term,
        and we have been pursuing that mission ever since.

        The parallels between the first and second waves of revolution would be very
        interesting to the Chinese sage. During the Reagan years, the revolution began
        on the periphery of the major conflict, in Iberia. Following 9/11, the
        revolution was brought violently to the periphery of the Middle East, in
        Afghanistan. It swept through Iraq, taking time to liberate Ukraine (against
        whose independence Bush the Elder spoke so shamefully), and now threatens Syrian
        hegemony over Lebanon, if not the Syrian regime itself, and has forced the
        Egyptian and Saudi regimes to at least a pretense of democratic change.

        While most of the revolutions have been accomplished with a minimum of armed
        force, military power has been used on several of the battlefields, and not only
        in the recent cases of Afghanistan and Iraq. It is often said that the Cold War
        was won without firing a shot, but that is false; there was fighting in
        Afghanistan, and in Grenada, and in Angola. The repeated defeats of Soviet
        proxies (Angola, Grenada) and the Red Army itself (Afghanistan) were important
        in shattering the myth that the laws of history guaranteed the ultimate triumph
        of communism. Once that myth had been destroyed, the peoples of the Soviet
        Empire lost their paralyzing fear of the Kremlin, and they risked a direct
        challenge.

        In like manner, the defeats of the fanatics in Afghanistan and Iraq, followed by
        free elections in both countries, destroyed two myths: of the inevitability of
        tyranny in the Muslim world, and of the divinely guaranteed success of the
        jihad. Once those myths were shattered, others in the region lost their fear of
        the tyrants, and they are now risking a direct challenge. The Cedar Revolution
        in Beirut has now toppled Syria's puppets in Lebanon, and I will be surprised
        and disappointed if we do not start hearing from democratic revolutionaries
        inside Syria — echoed from their counterparts in Iran — in the near future.

        Many of the brave people in the suddenly democratic Arab streets are inspired by
        America, and by George W. Bush himself. It should go without saying that we must
        support them all, in as many ways as we can. Most of that support will be
        political — from unwavering support by all our top officials, to support for
        radio and television stations, and tens of thousands of bloggers, who can
        provide accurate information about the real state of affairs within the Middle
        Eastern tyrannies, to financial assistance to workers so that they can go on
        strike — but some might be military, such as hitting terror camps where the mass
        murderers of the region are trained. We are, after all, waging war against the
        terrorists and their masters, as is proven by the daily carnage in Iraq and
        Israel, and the relentless oppression and murder of democrats in Iran.

        The president clearly understands this, but, in one of the most frustrating
        paradoxes of the moment, this vision is rather more popular among the peoples of
        the Middle East than among some of our top policymakers. For anyone to suggest
        to this president at this dramatic moment, that he should offer a reward to Iran
        for promising not to build atomic bombs, or that we should seek a diplomatic
        "solution" to Syria's oft-demonstrated role in the terror war against our
        friends and our soldiers, is a betrayal of his vision and of the Iranian,
        Israeli, Lebanese and Syrian people. Yet that sort of reactionary thinking is
        surprisingly widespread, from leading members of congressional committees, from
        the failed "experts" at State and CIA, and even some on the staff of the
        National Security Council.

        Our most lethal weapon against the tyrants is freedom, and it is now spreading
        on the wings of democratic revolution. It would be tragic if we backed off now,
        when revolution is gathering momentum for a glorious victory. We must be
        unyielding in our demand that the peoples of the Middle East design their own
        polities, and elect their own leaders. The first step, as it has been in both
        Afghanistan and Iraq, is a national referendum to choose the form of government.
        In Iran, the people should be asked if they want an Islamic republic. In Syria,
        if they want a Baathist state. In Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Libya, if they want
        more of the same. We should not be deterred by the cynics who warn that freedom
        will make things worse, because the ignorant masses will opt for the
        fantasmagorical caliphate of the increasingly irrelevant Osama bin Laden.
        Mubarak and Qadaffi and Assad and Khamenei are arresting democrats, not
        Islamists, and the women of Saudi Arabia are not likely to demand to remain
        shrouded for the rest of their lives.

        Faster, please. The self-proclaimed experts have been wrong for generations.
        This is a revolutionary moment. Go for it.

          I think even the fiercest critics of president Bush's handling of the
          post-liberation phase in Iraq will still be thrilled at what appears to me to be
          glacial but important shifts in the right direction in the region."

          I so wish you were right, but I'm afraid you probably aren't. I had lunch today
          with a friend - a really smart, knowledgeable, accomplished guy, who also
          happens to be very liberal and is active in state Democratic politics. I
          mentioned to him that Lebanon's government had just fallen. You would have
          thought I told him his dog had died. He chewed his sandwich slowly, thought for
          a while, and finally said,"You know, Assad's a bastard, but he was right when he
          said the problems in Iraq are the fault of America, not Syria."
          There wasn't any happiness that Lebanon is marching toward freedom. This kind of
          sulky non-sequitur, to me, exemplifies well why the Democratic Party cannot be
          trusted right now with our national security. Though some in the party, like
          Biden and Lieberman, are serious about protecting us, there are just way too
          many others so filled with hatred for Bush that they are incapable of
          understanding what is happening in the Middle East, and what the stakes are for
          all of us. And that's why I stand by my intense disagreement with your decision
          last fall to endorse John Kerry - even if the man could have been trusted, his
          party, as a whole, could not have been." How depressing.
