Sierra Leone-Test of fire!

Sierra Leone is heading for the polls today which will see if the conflict ravaged country can pick up the pieces and hold a democratic election.this country more than any other country has seen so many conflicts that if one were to talk about wars and Sierra Leone,one would have to ask 'which war'.most of these conflicts have been caused by the diamonds.the diamonds from Sierra Leone are known as 'blood diamonds' for a very good reason and they are banned from being sold world over.
Now that the U.N has taken charge,one can only hope that this will see the end of the conflicts and that the flag of democracy and reign of peace and prosperity will truly reign in Sierra Leone.it is sad that a country had to suffer so much in so little time but when you are at the bottom there is only one way to go and that's up all the way.Seven candidates are vying for the nation's top post, with 69-year-old Vice President Solomon Berewa the main front-runner. President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah, 75, cannot run again because of term limits.
It is nice to see democracy work and to see all of them equally participating.good luck,Sierra Leone,you deserve it and we all wish you and all your citizens well!

A shot for peace!

Well with the recent Iran imbroligo,it seems that peace fianllyhad a say.but i do wish that the Iranians had choosen some other way than to try and hold hostage all those sailors.well it has already complicated an already bad situation in ways that no one had anticipated!
will Pax fall,it onlyt remains to be seen!

All about Pax

Well it seems that Pax is the only thing in this world that is hard to maintain,from Africa to India to Iran to China.anyway you look at it it seems that half of the world's population is fighting with itself and the other half is just intrested in sitting on the sidelines to see what is happening.all is going down yet we cannot seem to help ourselves.so is all Pax just a dream to be.
can we truly have a peaceful world or is it just too much for the realpolitik to bring about??
