We are what we are...

We are what we are through accidents in history/life and the force of our personality.

In the long run, justice will prevail, but humans don't actually live in the long run. We demand justice now. Politics is ultimately about obtaining power, and hopefully dispensing justice. Meanwhile in the short term we must face specific realities, make specific decisions, and prepare for the likely consequences of those decisions. 

We can bring about real changes if we are not fearful of death. Some of us will die in the struggle, but the group will live on and get what we want. Impossible is the standard mantra of cowards and naysayers. In less than 6 months, the common people through solidarity have brought down regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, and 2 others (Libya and Yemen) are tottering. Several others (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Vietnam [all Vietnam needs as a catalyst is an economic collapse]) could fall as well.
