Ahmet of Tunisia sent me this:  "Asad, look at the ceiling of the man's 
thought:" We are in a race against poverty. At this crucial 
moment, the West must not abandon us. It must continue to aid Tunisia in 
strengthening democracy and the rule of law, securing our borders to stop arms 
from reaching extremists, and creating economic opportunities that give our 
citizens hope." 
 
the true president of Tunisia is this man; 
he has no official status in the state, but he can set redlines and 
deadlines."
