    I wonder why this article is included among the past-12 hours issues as can be seen in the table of contents where the last/only comment on this issue was made last January 4, 2008. Well, I'm may be too late but what i can say is that Ibrahim, as what he has shown, is a great man. I'm truly touched by his unique way of expressing his desire to effect a change. You know, one need not have to be an Anglican or a Roman Catholic in order to become an effective public servant. He need not have to talk about doctrine or principles of biblical proportion in order to validate his action. "Give to Cesar what is due to Cesar and give to God what is due to God" might be the immediate response from the bibical fanatics, but for me he is the modern Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-9) of our time or the Good Sammaritan in this computer age who wish to save the dying passion for true and honest service for the people. As for me, well, I don't have billions of dollars to give, but I'll try my best to raise my family with the little thing I have in order for them to live a straight and honest life.

    Good, he should call me. I'm the President of an all-volunteer charitable organization called "Friends of WEECE, Inc." We do micro-loans, primarily in Tanzania, as well as offer other necessary services (medical care, legal advocacy, HIV counseling, etc).
