Assault on Palestinian Aid Flotilla

Israeli navy commandos stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, which tried to breach an Israeli blockade in international waters in an attempt to deliver aid to the besieged Palestinian territory. Approximately, 19 people died in a clash which occurred when Israeli forces moved in to block the flotilla's passage.

There is no doubt that this is an act of violence and violation of international norms. There is no excuse for this. Such atrocities have been repeatedly committed as a part of the state sponsored terrorism. No country in the modern world should flout international conventions to suit its own needs.

Now ‘the international community’ and their ‘leaders’ are responding very carefully. We have never seen this much care and caution in coining the statements of reaction by the world leaders. Their end notes are same: we should wait until the truth comes out.

Isn’t it double standard, obviously? Can you imagine the outrage if this were Syria, or Saudi, or Iran attacking an Isreali flotilla? See how we all reacted when South Korea claimed their ship was sunk by the North Korean torpedos?

The Plight of Mr. Tharoor

Power corrupts... and absolute power corrupts absolutely... As everywhere else.. or even worse, Indian politics is corrupt to the roots. Support to a leader shouldn't be unconditional... lest he or she gets carried away.

Mr. Tharoor is apparently a prospective leader with unfathomed potential... which the Indians (nay, we Mallus) failed to tap on. We can't complain, coz... what else do you expect from parties which are highjacked by a bunch of crooked power mongers? Either Left or Right or in between are all 'lickers', I mean, after poking their hands in the 'Chakkarakudam' (the honeypot).

Mr. Tharoor and all of us ... the so-called new generation of educated Indians... need to realize the fact that even if you are a gifted painter, you shouldn't loose sight of the canvas or the wall. Those skill you acquired through your exposure and education are not yet compatible to majority of our compatriots... 'And miles to go before we sleep'.

It is not good for a promising country like Australia

All Australians need to realize that these opinion polls are nonsense. You elect someone to lead the nation for a term, let them do it with peace of mind and composure - Rome was not built in a day. In fact, the Liberals want to see Mr.Rudd be a more reckless spender desperatly attempting to win the support of the electorate. The prominent members of both ruling and opposing parties are now frantically using the lion's portion of their potential to showcase their fake images... everything at the expense of the nation. It is not a healthy trend at all, mates. It is not good for either for Liberal or for the Labour... It is not good for a promising country like Australia.

My Tweets...

Political, cultural and bureaucratic leadership is mostly in the hands of some corrupted greedy oldies world over. It is high time the youth step in... hopefully Cameron and Obama will make a difference in the world scenerio... But we Indian are still after royal leneage.... it's time to liberate.

Contemporary religious leaders tantalize us with the offer of Heaven and deter us with the Hell... do they believe in them? Their actions speak louder!

If the Conservative and Liberal Democrats can stick together in UK, why can't we try to brush up the differences in a wider scenerio? 12/05/2010

Nothing wrong with the nomination of Elena. After all it is a great commitment.. as in marriage where our previous experience is a demerit.

Let's hope Cameron will make a difference in the lives of good Britons.. hence to the world.

The most attractive element of the new budget is: Fairer and simpler tax returns that increase after-tax income for 6.4 million Australians.

Those who fanatically impose and those who fanatically ban the women'n veil are both attempting to curtail women's freedom of choice.

I feel sorry for the so-called ‘civilized new world’. Are we so gullible to be taken for a ride by these impenitent sinners?

While watching the latest news this morning I was struck by repentance made by the British PM Gordon Brown over his gaffe.
