Just some things i was thinking about

Slovenia stepped up to the plate and decided that Kosovo should be recognized as a nation. This is quite a bold step in their neck of the woods. The first ex-Yugoslav state to recognize Kosovo to so and this is something that most likely will anger the Serbs to a high degree. Let's hope that something horrible doesn't come from this decision, as most in the west have to see this as a positive step towards some sort of stablility.

Weird thing went down surrounding a book fair in Paris this week. A little odd to describe I'll let you check it out.

Viktor Bout was arrested in Bankok, and that's a relief for many of the crime fighting organizations around the world as he was one of the largest arms dealers he was called the Merchant of Death by some. He was suspected of trying to supply the Columbian rebels with guns just recently.

Ukraine and Russian gas giant Gazprom came to a new deal this week resolving the issues they've had with all the gas disputes. I'll just leave that alone, but someone is getting something out of it.

Protesters on monday we're arrested in Moscow while demonstrating against the election results on Sunday. Accusations of facism and rigged elections results were the chants from the crowd before they were violently up ended by the police. The swift blow of power exercised consistently to develop fear and respect is unacceptable nowadays people deserve the right to say what they believe.

The growing violence between Israel and Palestine is starting to get to horrific levels and we're looking like were heading to the worst levels since 1967. The situation has resulted in the first attack in Jerusalem in 4 years and I fear that this is just the beginning of a very scary situation brewing. The next US president has a really big choice on their hands. Israel is the largest recipient of US foreign aid and the Palestinian people have had their finances frozen and their lives affected in unbelivable ways.

I am completely impartial in this, I have no idea what way the US will go, and if a change in course is necessary, I am not qualified to say. But what I can say is that the growing Muslim community in the world is concerned with what is going on as is the Jewish community and something is going to break soon and the world can't afford that right now.
