“I had a dream”… September 11, 2021
"You have to have a dream... to have a dream come true!..."

I woke up this morning… It was September 11, 2021… No, I did not mistype!... It was September 11, 2021….

It was such a beautiful Saturday morning in Lebanon… All is quiet and peaceful…

For many years now, Lebanon has enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity…

In fact, for many years, the entire World seems to have reached complete peace and harmony…

Poverty and disease have been totally eliminated everywhere… Wars and Terrorism have completely vanished as a result of open and honest communication amongst all nations and factions… The entire world has become a serene and friendly global village…

What happened that brought about all this?...

Years ago, when Dunia was elected the first female President of Lebanon, she took a stand and chose to take the road less traveled… In the history of Lebanon, she walked a lonely road... a road where she chose to follow a calling greater than her self-interest... putting Lebanon and Humanity above all her personal gains…. She went on to use the power of her office to do the RIGHT thing by herself, by Lebanon, by Humanity and by God…

She refused to act as anyone's proxy... and she resisted all temptations to abuse power, engage in corruption, and steal public funds... She chose to walk a straight path... with a clear conscience…

She then gathered all the politicians and the clergy in Lebanon and explained to them her vision of a peaceful and prosperous Lebanon delineating the simple steps it would take to achieve it. She spoke to them of the fragility of life and how short it is… and reminded them of the names of the many Lebanese politicians that were no longer amongst us; Shaikh Bashir Gemayel, Camille Chamoun, Dany Chamoun, Shaikh Pierre Gemayel, Pierre Amine Gemayel, Kamal Jumblatt, Rashid Karameh, Rafik Hariri, etc… and focused on ONE main topic: how they all missed the opportunity of leaving a legacy of a peaceful Lebanon for themselves and their children.

Everyone was inspired and agreed to follow her lead by doing the RIGHT thing!... They unanimously committed to:

• Put Lebanon and Humanity above all their selfish personal gains…

• Stop all political and religious power struggle and follow the Golden Rule of treating others the way they want to be treated…

• Stop inciting conflict and stealing public funds.

• Give back half of all the money they stole from Lebanon and put it in a special SuperFund called “The Good SuperFund” that quickly amounted to Billions of Dollars dedicated to Public good.

From “The Good SuperFund”, she was able to eliminate poverty and disease completely from Lebanon. She also built a state-of-the-art infrastructure that connected every single remote small village in Lebanon.

Hello Nabil,

I like the article written about the dream about Lebanon in the future, it is really a dream, but give you a chance to breath even for a moment

Allah ya3tik el 3afyeh, w tdallak bi hal himmeh, if I can help anywhere I’ll be happy to do

May God bless your work

Best regards

In high traffic areas like Jounieh, Beirut Downtown and other areas in Lebanon, where the traffic has become unbearable, she passed laws to impose a total ban on private vehicle traffic during extended peak hours except for special permits... and strengthened a well known Taxi Transportation System in Lebanon called “Service” (pronounced Service as in French), whereby up to 5 friendly passengers shared a Taxi on their route enjoying each other’s company.

All people in high traffic areas had completely FREE access to the “Service”. The "Service" was totally subsidized by “The Good SuperFund” that made available thousands of “Service" cars 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The outcome was the total elimination of traffic congestion from the roads of Lebanon. People everywhere were able to commute freely and easily to and from work and other places in 30-60 minutes or less on average.

Through a series of seminars, publications and television appearances, she explained to all the Lebanese the collective benefits of doing the Right thing starting with her personally. She asked them to foster a return to love and adopt random acts of kindness... She, then went to explain to them that what unites the Lebanese in their Love for a peaceful and prosperous Lebanon, far transcends anything that may divide them.

All the Lebanese everywhere jumped on her bandwagon. The outcome was a much happier, calmer, hospitable and stress free Lebanon devoid of aggressive drivers, bureaucracy, bickering, selfishness, theft, crime and corruption… Businesses prospered and social life boomed... The Lebanese people of all religions and walks of life respected one another and assumed good faith when dealing with one another leading to a beautiful Lebanon where all the various religions and factions were included in the delicate balance that is Lebanon…

She then had global meetings with many world leaders including the new leaders of Syria, Iran, the US, the EU, Africa and South America as well as Terrorist Groups everywhere. They all were very receptive to her vision of a new world order and agreed to copy her prototype and do what is RIGHT... all the time... every time!...

The outcome was that all international powers stopped meddling destructively in international affairs. They stopped all corruption and theft of public funds in their respective countries, and started various International SuperFunds whereby all those who have stolen public funds returned 50% of their stolen money to the International SuperFunds.

The Arab-Israeli conflict was totally resolved. Jews and Arabs lived in mutual respect and harmony, united by their love for their shared destiny, love for their land, good food, good life and music. Syria’s coastal areas rivaled Monte Carlo in its tourism and prosperity. Iraq and Iran became peaceful places with many resources and positive contributions to the world. North and South Korea reunited under the umbrella of freedom, peace and prosperity.

Poverty and disease in Africa, Asia, South America and the entire world was completely eliminated. Jobs were available to all job seekers in every country in the world. Standards of living were so much higher everywhere that immigration regulations were no longer enforced and the visa system was eliminated amongst all nations allowing world citizens to travel freely between countries.

Every world citizen was happy living in his or her own native country.

"Yes... I had a dream!"... and The Dream was a beautiful dream!... one inspired by the Heart of God! A dream that will forever remain alive in the hearts and minds of each one of us… as it leads us to the realization that "The Dream" can one day be possible and easily reachable… All it takes is for each one of us to simply do what is RIGHT… starting with me… and you!…
