Palestinian-Israeli Talks

Gary — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:00:41 +0000

All parties that are involved in this talk may have their own motives hiding behind the peace process. Israel has availed itself this opportunity to isolate Hamas further. Then President Abbas is bent into seeking more military and economic aid. On the other hand, U.S. has made an attempt to deal with Iran to pave the way for in-depth adjustment of the Middle-East strategy.

Because the United States is still in financial disarray, with US President Barack Obama continuing to deal with the multiple issues that plague America. He has recently stated an aid grunt to two members (Chrysler and General Motors) of the the Big Three – the biggest American automotive companies that are struggling with the times. Obama has also extended his campaign towards other counties, Muslim countries particularly, calling for unity and an end to all hate and animosity. He is also slated to meet with different European leaders in a summit where they will discuss the possible solutions to the growing financial woes; as well as visit Turkey, where he is expected to reiterate his appeal to Muslims. Last but not the least of course, is the US governments’ $800 billion stimulus package designed to rejuvenate America’s ailing economy.

Jakarta Hotel Bombs – The Terror Continues……..

Gary — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:08:02 +0000

Two Western hotels have been bombed by unknown perpetrators, years fter bombs ripped through one of the two hotels along with the much deplored Bali resort bombs that killed many Western citizens. Two hotels, the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton were bombed in an early suicide bombing, injuring many Westerners and killing seven. This comes to re-kindle memories of the Bali bombings a few years back that killed hundreds of tourists, many of which were westerners. The face of extremism hits again, as shown in one security video released to the press, showing a man walking into the supposedly secure hotels blasting himself and a few other guests as they go on with their early morning business.
The two hit hotels were Western brands as well as frequented by many tourists form the West who prefer their brands over local ones for apparent security measures they assumed were in place to avoid a repeat of previous bombings. They were proved wrong and several paid with their lives, and injuries in the dozens in a combined toll. Security issues were seen as severely lacking though they were in place, proving their guard cannot be let down or people pay for it with their lives.

Health Care Reform – Opposition from Within

Gary — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 06:05:04 +0000

Many people have been waiting for the much needed reforms to the US’s defunct Health Care system that has notably degraded through the years. Many US hospitals may have the best and latest technology in their arsenal but access is the issue, and not many can afford it in the current economic conditions. President Obama used the Health Care system as a front for his campaign, responsible for him winning the US elections a few months back. He jumped from the rigors of the campaign trail into the thick of the recession, first winning a battle as he successfully got the Economic Stimulus Bill passed and out to help Americans cope with the ever worsening economic conditions.
After months of learning the ropes and sometimes learning the hard way that what want isn’t always what you get, the economic stimulus bill did send trillions out of the government’s coffers and into the pockets of citizens, businesses and others who needed it. The problem, the money they hoped to get rolling in and out of the economic units showed little improvement as the recession raged, leading many to label the Stimulus Bill as an utter failure. News from some of the people behind the bill itself saying that it was not guaranteed to succeed from the start, news the opposition jumped on with the media swiftly in tow. They say the money was to quell calls for reform as he took office and settled down into the White House. The bill fails and now, calls for reforms to the health care system are being raised, but this time round, it’s getting harder to get support form all sides with most saying it will again be a band-aid solution to a broken spine, so Mr. Obama is in for a tough ride for sure.

Afghanistan – Continuing the Fight

Gary — Thu, 21 May 2009 06:03:41 +0000

With most US troops out of Iraq, some will be headed back to Afghanistan the country where the war on terror began. But the Taliban has resorted to battle that the Americans and most pf the West have been fighting hard to master, close quarter guerrilla warfare. Battle where the enemy looks like anybody else and where enemies are kept close with friends kept closer. The definition of the war on terror may have been diffused so much that the true goals and lines that used to be well defined are now crossed. In Iraq, most casualties were fought at a distance, killed by roadside bombs that are filmed by their makers for use as propaganda materials for their extremism. The war is raging on many fronts; using media, the internet and with religion bent as much as it could to justify their actions. These wars cannot be resolved for the fundamental values on which they are baed are surely far from well defined, form the enemy’s standpoint that is.
