United States of America President Barack Obama is slated to go on a trip abroad, where he will meet with the heads of the various European nations in order to discuss the global financial crisis.

In this trip, Obama is also scheduled to visit Turkey, where he is expected to make steps to try to remove the negative image America has on the Muslim world. Some readers may remember that Obama’s first television conference was for an Arab news channel, where the US president indicated his call for Muslims to stop violence and hatred towards America.

Obama’s foreign policy is also expected to help boost the world economy us, as a lot of nations are dependent on the US economy for their continued growth. President Obama has also only recently signed an $800-billion stimulus package that many hope will jump not only the American economy, but the world as well.

In a world where political parties rule governments and battle for control, the many Muslim states fail to grasp the concept of freedom from the view of the Western world. There has been much conflict and bloodshed to attest to such differences for the West has always operated on democratic forms of government. Even some of the staunchest Allys of the West in the many Muslim worlds operate under more archaic political structures where the few control the fate of the many. Religion is also another front at which militants twist and turn the tables on religious teachings to incite violence from their followers. In India, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan, the battle rages in what can be described as a battle of ideologies. The people of Iraq now scorn the US Occupation for which they have attained freedom from the oppressive rule of Saddam and his Republican Guard, why, they are not used to being free and making their own decisions. The Palestinians and the Iranians follow their religion and the words their leaders project, which ever way they point may it be for good or bad.
The differences on this earth may never end but think of this, our differences is what makes us unique and different from everybody else, our culture and beliefs dictate our lives much so that we do so each and everyday without question. If we were all different, then there would be no need for conflict, but it would indeed be a dull world to live in.

パン・ギムン 国連事務総長 は、イランで人権侵害が行われている疑いがあることへの懸念を表明し、同国に対し女性やマイノリティおよび人々の信仰に対する差別に厳しく対応するよう求めました。 事務総長はテヘランが教育や医療の提供といった緊急に対策が必要な問題に対しては努力していることを賞賛しました。 パン氏は最近報告されたイランにおける人権侵害の問題に大きな懸念を抱いており、多くの地区や地域で国民への対応について是正が必要であるとしています。 一例として、同氏は宗教的マイノリティであるバハーイー教信者差別の問題を挙げています。
信者らに伝わるバハーイー教の歴史によれば、その創始者はアブラハム、モーゼ、ブッダ、キリスト、そしてムハンマドらに続いてもっとも最近現れた預言者であるといいます。 これに対し、イランのシーア派はバハーイー教を異端としています。 彼らは、バハーイー教がイスラムの教義に反するものと考えています。 バハーイー教徒らによれば、1979年のイラン・イスラム革以降、数百人の信者が投獄され、処刑されたといいます。

His historic win of the American presidency has captivated people all over the world but the arena he is about to enter is a truly dirty one. Left to deal with an economic recession, two wars and many other problems the American people are dealing with in the country and around the globe, all eyes remain on him. Many who supported him count on his promise for change which he oh so elaborated on but words are very different from reality and as he takes office this coming January, he will have to face fact in the reality of things.
The election race was that of words and speeches but the American people are desperate for change in this troubled world of ours. Life has gotten a lot worse for most Americans, an almost defunct public health system, a financial market that is in shambles and billions in budgetary deficit due to the wars and bailout offers for the crumbling industries. Many say his first 100 days would define him as the president he wants to be. Just hope he can fill the shoes of the forefathers of America who have stood the test of time.

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.

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.
