I'm writing this post because right now, Barack Obama (The US Democrats presidential candidate) is only minutes away from claiming his nomination.

The U.S. (as I can see it on CNN) is shaking over that win, claiming it to be a moment of history. The moment when, for the first time in U.S. history, an African-American have been nominated for president.

I almost know nothing about him, or about his campaign. But, I wanted to write this to take my part in this so called "historical day".

For me, as a Syrian citizen, all I want from the world's most powerful man is to bring peace to the Middle-East region, not by force, not by war, but by politics. And we all know that he could do that if he wanted. So, Obama is campaigning to change, and I believe that peace in the Middle-East is exactly the change the people of this region really need.

If this is really a day in history, then let's all hope it would be a change to the better of all mankind. U.S. is currently the world's most powerful nation, and being its president holds a great responsibility. (And let's hope I won't regret writing this post)

Change wins = peace wins, please!

P.S.: I'll post again when we get to know for real who's the next U.S. president, and try to get a clearer image about him.
