South Korean hostage crisis!

The south Korean hostage crisis seems to get murkier day by day with the Afghanistan officials running here and there but in the end ,not accomplishing much by any one's standards.already one of the hostages has been shot in cold blood by the erstwhile Taliban militants.according to certain police sources,the hostage in question was sick and could not walk therefore he was shot by the militants and get this,right on his birthday.his aging mother who was in south Korea at that time was waiting for a phone call from her son so that she could wish him happy birthday.
that really takes the cake and et all.with the allied forces also present in Afghanistan,couldn't they track these militants down and eradicate them once and for all.what about the women hostages,could they not be released.as for the demands of the militants,well one of them wants Taliban prisoners to be released,the other wants money while the other militants are not sure about what they want and already there have been arguments and small skirmishes amongst themselves,according to certain well placed sources in the Taliban.shouldn't this be the time when the government forces should attack them,especially when the militants are disorganised and confused??

36 killed in Iraq today!

Today the death count went up by 36 in Iraq.the violence seems to be fast spiralling out of control.with the U.S and the Iraqi forces continuing their operations to the north and the south of Baghdad to hunt the militants down,about 36 Iraqi citizens were killed today as a result of these operations.
What is becoming more and more obvious is that a very large chunk of the Iraqi populace are being killed either as a result of being caught in the crossfire between the militants and the U.S forces or as a result of 'over enthusiastic' action on the part of the Iraqi and the U.S lead forces.either way you look at it,the very population that the United States led alliance swore to protect are fast disappearing into their graves.is this what the war is all about?should not the iraqi people be allowed to live in some semblance of peace and democracy?personally,although i have never been to Iraq i think that the Iraqi citizens had more peace and security under Saddam Husein than they do under the current Iraqi government!

Lebanon in flames!

Well the strife between the Fatah militants holed up in the palestine refugee camp and the lebanese army seems to have continued onto its 13th day.the end does not seem to be near at all and if anything,it only seems to be very far away.recently a truce was declared between the opposing sides but that truce barely held on for one complete hour!
Things are degenerating fast into a full scale battle.i would not be all that suprised if the lebanese army makes arial attacks on the refugee camps as a preemptive measure.but the question on nearly everyone's mind is what about the refugees?what about the old women and children who are being caught in the middle of this war zone.they came to the refugee camp to be safe and i think that we can all agree that is not happening,not anytime soon anyway!

A walk on the Beach!

With the tension factor rising through the roof with Iran adamantly sticking to its nuclear program and with Leabnon in strife and lets not forget the everyday specter of car bombs in Iraq,don't we all wish that we can take a break and walk on a lovely beach,now and then,at the very least to take a break from everything?
The beach in question can be none other than the Golden Beaches of sunny Hawaii!we all need a break from everything and if not a vacation at the very least take a working holiday to sunny hawaii!once we reach Hawaii we should forget all about Iraq,Iran and everything else with it but only think of sun,sand and surf.
More than anything else,it has been medically adviced that we all should take some time off so as to deal with our stress levels.is it any suprise that with companies getting more demanding day by day on thier employees,the crime rate keeps on increasing.i think that all corporates should realise that employees who have high levels of stress would not be that productive.so therefore this is my suggestion which i hope will be taken seriously by all corporates worldwide.my suggestion to the corporates is this,that they make it mandatory for all employees to take sometime off[this rule is already there in most companies] but also they offer to pay for their employees to vacation by taking hawaii trips!i can gaurentee that on return the employees will all be very,very,happy employees!what do you think?

U.S bombs civilians again!

This is not anything new.the united states has bombed inocent civilians all over again.when will this end?what i fail to understand that with all the high end technology they still get it wrong and kill innocent people all over again.this time it was in afghanistan!
fraknly i have to say that such shoddy behaviour on the part of the soldiers is unforgivable.granted that they are fighting a dirty war out there but nothing,nothing can excuse the killing of innocent civilians!

Another blast in Baghdad!

This seems to go on again and again.trying to prevent such bomb attacks from happening is not going to be easy.but i think that the solution to the problem is tackling it at the groundroots rather than just building a bunker.events in baghdad are spiraling out of control and the fatalaties seem to be on the rise all over again.if the U.S as well as the other allied powers are not careful then we may end up having a full fledged sectarian war.it is sad that two sects belonging to the same religion can hate one another so much but then again,in christianity,the roman catholics and the protestants hate one another with the same intensity as it can be seen more clearly in Ireland.
Regarding Baghdad,we cannot simplify the problem.there are militants there who would like nothing better than to see a civil war break out and watch them tear the country apart.this is what the heads of both the communities must realise.they must realise that as more car bomns and attacks of sectarian nature take place,the militants are slowly but surely tearing Iraq apart and that they are winning the war,not the Iraq government or the sunnis or the shias or the Allied powers.That is the sad truth.so tackle the problem at the ground roots and make both the communities realise what is at stake.after all religious sentiments or false pride alone is not going to put the food on the table,is it?

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??
