Despite Boston Marathon blasts, America is still impenetrable

America will live on forever

Every city in the United States has since been put on high alert; same is the case in major cities of the world especially London which will host the next marathon in the series. The mayhem will remain etched in the minds of Bostonians and Americans for a long time to come but whether it will create as much paranoia as the 9/11 tragedy did in 2001 is a question that cannot be answered now.

This attack, treated as an “act of terror” by the White House, is the first successful terror strike against civilians in any US city since the September 11 tragedy. This does not mean that Barack Obama failed to protect his country; it simply means that every terror plot cannot be thwarted. The big question that arises now is how the US government reacts to this tragedy. Will they go all out in search of a terrorist group and invade a country like they did after the 9/11 tragedy?

Read the rest here with a prayer for those who died and were left scarred.

Praising beauty becomes Obama’s dilemma

Attorney General Kamala Harris

What’s wrong in calling a beautiful woman “beautiful”? Apparently, not much provided you are not the head of a state. And this is why US President Barack Obama cannot praise a woman’s beauty. His position makes him different from everyone in his country at least. Last Thursday, the suave and otherwise articulate Obama made a faux pas by calling Attorney General Kamala Harris as “the best-looking attorney general in the country”. If he had forgotten that he was the US President, his country’s media wasted no time in reminding him that he is the world’s most powerful man and, therefore, is forbidden from calling any woman beautiful other than his wife.

Obama, a not so reticent man by any stretch, must perhaps still be wondering exactly what part of his praise offended certain sections of the American society to the extent that he was forced to apologise the next day. Some were unforgiving in their reactions and went so far as to seeking “gender-sensitivity training” for the president. Most Twitter users branded Obama’s comment as “sexist”. Reports add that there were more negative comments for Obama on Twitter than there were in his support.

So, was Obama wrong? Find out here:

Why China, not US Presidential Elections, deserves our interest (Part II)

It is barely possible for any story to bypass the government and bureaucratic hurdles and reach the world populace. Layer after layer of restrictions have made the emanation of free and fair information out of the country almost impossible. There could have been more negative stories coming out of China but we do not know them because the country has succeeded in controlling the media and the internet.

But despite all this, China is interesting, very interesting. The simple reason, to put psychologically, is because anything that is mysterious is interesting. China is the only superpower in the world which has been able to keep its mysterious image intact. Who until the day of the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony knew what was to come? Who was not left enthralled after watching the opening ceremony? That event can easily be termed China’s remarkable entry in the league of the big players of the world. Perhaps the steps, created through fireworks, shown going towards the ‘Bird’s Nest’ – the main stadium packed with leaders and spectators from across the world – were those China’s.

Why China, not US Presidential Elections, deserves our interest

I am not interested in the US Presidential Elections. I am not interested in who becomes the 45^th President of America. I am not interested in either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. I am not interested in what the world’s largest democracy is doing. I am interested in the events after Hu steps down in China. In fact China, not US Presidential Elections, deserves our interest.

Why Mitt Romney could be a better President than Barack Obama

There were mixed reactions to the speech delivered by Mitt Romney at Tampa, Florida, but most of them were good as he stressed on the need to focus on the “family” rather than the “oceans”. Indeed that is what America must look at now given that other nations have stepped up their efforts in becoming a global economic powerhouse. Everyone was excited when Obama spoke and indeed they said “how well he speaks.” President Obama spoke of “change” and indeed he delivered but unfortunately, it was in the negative.
