Just like its predecessor Congressman Payne's HR2003, Senator Feingold's S3457 has come to a screeching halt on its way to the graveyard. A lame duck Congress has too many priorities on its table and the president has no intention of addressing this issue during his remaining term. So, S3457 or HR2003 is filed away, yet again!
This comes as a shock to its proponents like Prof (sic) Al Mariam and some desperate Diaspora opposition groups. What this means is that some misinformed Congressman has to give it, yet another name, and address it to the next Congress, after the US presidential elections. I can't imagine an Obama presidency will entertain such nonsense, let alone the next president, John McCain.
So, eat your hearts out Al Mariam. Good luck on your next dirty trick!

Prof (sic) Al Mariam's Verbal Diarrhea continues....
September 22, 2008.
Dear "fake" professor Al Mariam,
I read your article of September 22 on Barack Obama, that appeared on Ethiomedia and soon to be copied by similar blogs all over the cyber space. Like all your articles of past, and believe me I have read most from your blog, I read it with fascination and disgust. Fascinated with your mastery of the English language, disgust because of your ability to manipulate words and statements and play around with them to send your poisonous message to the unsuspecting public, as you mercilessly slaughter any one opposed to your ideas. For me, it comes out as a verbal diarrhea, nothing more.
Most of what you wrote in this article and many others are quotations, or copies from your old law textbooks or regurgitations of what you have memorized from those books. I will give you credit for the memory part. How you exploit those true words and sentences to express your personal hatred for Ethiopia and foment your anger for its leaders, is what is seriously disturbing. In the process, you have succeeded in misleading a certain segment of Ethiopians in the Diaspora and made them slaves to your toxic ideas.
I can debate you on the republican values in American politics any day. I will also hasten by saying that Barak Obama has done very well for himself and his family. He will probably charge 30 or 40 thousand dollars for an appearance, after the elections. A book will follow and then a movie deal, if they are not in the works already. On top of that, he will be on the board of many corporations and will be a millionaire many times over. So, I have no crocodile tears to shade for him. However, it does not mean that I do not appreciate the role he is playing in American politics. Because of him, America and its future leaders will seriously look into some of his proposals to make them a reality. As long as he lives, he will continue to be a great leader and contribute for the well-being of America and the world.
But, to single him out as the only Messiah for the global economic turmoil we are all in and to point fingers to one individual or another is naive, unschooled and irresponsible, especially coming from a glorified professor (sic) of political science. Further more; to think that American foreign policy will change drastically because a democrat is in office is simply to wobble in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Ethiopia has established a very strong relationship with America. That relationship will grow stronger and stronger for decades to come, no matter who is in the White House.
In conclusion, let me ask you one favor. Please allow me to re-write your Obama article word for word, but replacing McCain wherever Obama appears. All the quotations and words of the great that you pasted in your article apply to any aspiring leader. McCain will win, not because he is so much better than Obama, but because the republican ideals and the present global crisis needs a man of great experience, tremendous influence on the Hill and a man who can be militarily decisive if and when that time comes. A pre-emptive strike is one issue that McCain has no second thoughts about. Again, I can debate you about our achievements in Iraq in some future date.
Please do not hesitate to respond. If you do not, I will understand. This will not be the first time you ducked my challenges of past. The same goes for your sponsors at Ethiomedia. I will be surprised if this note appears on their blog. But, it will find its way in many other places.
With respect
