General Ban Ki-moon, U.N. Secretary expressed concerns about possible human rights abuses in Iran and is urging the country to take strict measures to prevent discrimination against women and minorities and their beliefs. The secretary commended Tehran for efforts made in urgent needs like education and health services provisions. Ban is deeply troubled by latest reports on human rights violations in Iran where a number of places and areas need more improvement on treating the people. For one, he expressed concern about the Baha’is minority
group. A brief history of the community reveals that the Baha’is regard their faith’s modern founder as the latest prophet in line with the likes of Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus and Mohammad. Iran’s Shi’ite on the other hand considers their religion as a heresy. A breakaway concept of the teachings of Islam. Baha’is reported that hundreds of their believers have been incarcerated andothers were executedsince the Islamic Revolution in 1979. There are currently 5 million believers of the Baha’is faith in the entire globe.

Hollywood and US presidents aren’t normally words you would connect with each other (except, of course, for the late US president Ronald Reagan). But when election time comes, the two worlds converge as stars campaign for their candidates. This election, however, has seen celebrities doing more than the usual for the Democrat’s candidate, Barack Obama.

Stars like Oprah, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Affleck and Scarlett Johansson have been actively supporting Obama. Now, there are even music videos by will.i.am, singer of The Black Eyed Peas, called “Yes We Can” and “We are the Ones”, which have been released in YouTube and Dipdive.com, featuring cameos by several celebrities who support Obama. It is now being promoted as a viral video on Obama’s campaign website. “Yes We Can” even won an Emmy for Best New Approaches in Daytime Entertainment, and won a Webby Award for will.i.am as “Artist of the Year”. Check out more about the songs in Wikipedia.

Joe Lieberman believes that it would take a very well prepared and ready president to be able to face the numerous attacks that the Islamic groups have been throwing their way. With another possible attack on the United States on the new presidents first year of administration, Lieberman believes that it is best to be prepared by military forces, and security for whatever may come.

Retired General Wesley Clark who is backing up Sen. Obamas running for presidency believes otherwise. Of course it is good for a standing president to have a good, celebrated military background, however, his efficiency as president will not only be based on that. What the country needs is someone who has good judgment, of which Sen. Barack Obama obviously have shown the American people ever since he has served the country.

And I think what we need to do, Bob, is we need to stop talking about the old politics of left and right, and we need to pull together and move the country forward. And I think that’s what Barack Obama will do.” Clark told Scheiffer on Face The Nation.

60 vehicles in Orlando, Florida, have been trashed all over by hate words that would like to send a message to running president Obama. Over 10 US Dollars have been the estimated cost of damages done to these cars. Happened just outside the Orlando City Hall, the cars have been streaked with hate words towards Obama and McCain, however, support messages for Hilary Clinton have also been written.

With lines like, “Obama smokes crack,” the vandals seemed like people who wanted to bring Obama down, not only politically, but as a human being as well. Police officers believe that the vandalism was done Saturday afternoon and by people who had no fear, for the City Hall was just across the street.

The campaign has decided to act on the recent rumors leading to certain false facts, about Sen. Obama being things that he is not. The campaign has been spread out all over Ohio, where the rumors have been started, and educates the voters at least five months before election time.

In some places, however, it may be too late. The campaign must think of more innovative ways to get these already-decided people to change their minds. And some people who would want to make sure that their vote would be for someone worth it, only has these questions to ask himself, “Do I believe in the commercials that sell him as someone whom I can trust with my life, with my country? Or do I believe the rumors (which could possibly have some tad bit of truth in them)?”

These people are not bad people, they only want to vote for the right man to be leader of their country. They cannot be blamed for being so ever-critical about this. They only need to believe in their hearts that they will choose the one who deserves to be in that position.

The United States has been under attack ever since the World Trade Center bombing. The Islamist terrorists have been against the United States and have been trying to break the nation little by little ever since, according to Joe Lieberman.

Campaign endorser for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Lieberman believes that he is better prepared to lead the United States. He is better prepared to be commander of the whole nation, as McCain knows the world, and has been tried and tested to protect the American people’s security, as Lieberman says.

In another context, Lieberman also contradicted Senator Obama’s and other senators’ move to withdraw US troops in the Middle East and the president’s “surge” of more US troops.

Lieberman tells Schieffer, “It’s now working. If we had done what Senator Obama asked us to do for the last couple of years, today Iran and al Qaeda would be in control of Iraq. It would be a terrible defeat for us and our allies in the Middle East and throughout the world. Instead, we’ve got a country that’s defending itself, that’s growing economically, where there’s been genuine political reconciliation, and where Iran and al Qaeda are on the run. And that’s the way it ought to be.”

He believes that the steps that the government is taking little, but monumental steps to stop terrorism throughout the world, and they are doing it in the best way they know how.

Sen. Joe Lieberman sees a pattern in US history that it would most likely be attacked by terrorists once again in 2009. He believes that the Republican’s nominee for presidency is more prepared than that of the Democrats’.

Lieberman feels that the new president will be put to a test in his first year at the White House, he tells Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. Two previous attacks have led to that conclusion – the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened during Bill Clinton’s first year as president, while the bombing of the Twin Towers happened during the first year of George Bush as president. These two occurrences have led Lieberman to believe that it could happen again, once a newly elected president has taken his seat at the White House.

Pakistan fired across the LOC meaning death to Indian army Jawan to let terrorists enter India and cause havoc amongst the peoples.

Pakistani troops turned to continuous and aggravated firing on their forward posts in Mendhar in Poonch sector around 8:00 a.m. today, Indian military sources infuriatingly say.

The firing, which continued and intensified for more than 10 minutes, caused the death of a Jawan, who was manning his post, they said. Adding later that Indian troops took up their positions to provide cover, but held restraint and did not shoot. The Jawan, who was at the forward post during the time of the shooting, belonged to 2/8 Gorkha Rifles.

Pakistan troops served as cover for the terrorists to enter India to cause chaos. Looking seriously at the ceasefire violation, army authorities stationed in Mendhar started a mad protest against their Pakistan counterparts.

The good news is that Indian military authorities have held captive of the 50 terrorists that forced to enter Indian soil under the cover of strong and heavy firing across the LOC, according to unconfirmed sources.

Marxist gangsters are out again to take the lives of common, innocent people and voters in West Bengal. Well-armed with illegal Chinese weapons, these murderers only prove that there is no more safe place in this world, even at daytime. Some sources say that most communists in India take their orders to kill from China.
The artillery clash between the CPI-M and Congress has been going on to a point that it has taken more than 30 lives and 800 + civilians injured. It is unfortunate that the common people are caught between the dispute between the hooligans of the Communists and the Congress party and are the ones who have to pay with their lives.

The Murshidabad district alone accounted for 28 lives, by bomb attacks between Congress and CPI-M Supporters on Sunday.
