The hazards of peace!

With the U.S president in the Mideast, trying to keep his tryst with destiny by brokering a peace deal with Israel and Palestine, gave a very nice speech regarding peace. It is not anything new, something that all those interested in brokering peace in the Middle east had already given. All that George bush had to do was to go back and sift through history and do a copy and paste [ providing he knows how to do it] and then give his speech.

But, I do have to say that going to the Middle east at a time like this certainly takes guts and on that, I think that we can all agree, that George bush does indeed have the chutzpah! As far as peace in the Middle east is concerned, that is not going to be easy at all, the Palestine issue was unduly complicated by the British when they vacated the place. Now, it is one big unholy mess and with no easy solution in sight, I cannot for the life of me see how Georgie is going to convert this visit into something of a success!

Bush says NO to Iraq pullout!

George Bush has threatened to Veto any legislation that may be passed by both the houses.so the war that nobody wants goes on.this is a war whose reasons were found on the most flimsiest of reasons.and even as i write this the War against the Iraqi's still rage on.with hundreds dying every month is it any surprising that the fate of the entire nation is being decided thousands of miles away in the American heartland.i do not in any form or matter sympathise with the militants and do believe that they should be dealt with most severely.but the fact of the matter is that many innocents are being caught in the crossfire or the militants A.K.A terrorists are using them as human Shields.when will the blood letting stop.
I have to say that any American withdrawal under the present circumstances will be deadly for the Iraqi's and a full fledged civil war will break out.as much as we may love to disagree with Bush but in this case we would have to agree with him.the war should have never happened but it did.so lets not dwell on whether it should or should not have happened and let us face facts.
one:an American withdrawal without any allied presence in Iraq would allow Iran and the militants to foment a civil war.
two:if America does indeed want to withdraw its troops it should do only after the United nation forces take their place
three:the United nation forces are at the moment understaffed and their weapons outdated,so before any substitution can take place this must be corrected
four:Iran should be made to understand in very clear terms that any interference in Iraq affairs will not be tolerated by the world at large.
five:the middle east as a whole should understand that a stable Iraq is in their best interests.
six:the militants/subversives,terrorists should all be hunted down and dealt with right away so that security and peace for the Iraqi's is assured.
no troop withdrawal can take place before all of the above points are dealt with.otherwise it will be disastrous for Iraq and its citizens!

Iraqi bridges blow up!

If things were not hot enough in Iraq now the insurgents[a neat way of calling the terrorists] are busy blowing up the bridges leading to Baghdad.the insurgents are determined to cripple the current government by attacking the common man on the street as well as any infrastructure that the common man may use.and they are achieving that.
As for the government,they are not really able to do anything much except offer common platitudes for the dead people's family.things are getting out of hand and the insurgents are getting more and more bolder in their attacks.after all they did manage to shoot a rocket very near the building when Ban-Ki-Moon,the U.N secretary general was giving his speech.for sure,that's one speech that the U.N secretary general is not gonna forget in a hurry.this bridge was bombed by a suicide bomber and this time three U.S.soldiers were killed.what is the current government doing about all this?god only knows!

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!
