Who is the Hero and who is the Villain?

This was almost like a scene straight out of a Hindi Movie. The Big, strong, all good  American Army chases a bad bad villain Osama Bin Laden and then kills him. All is well that ends well. But is it? Is all well post Osama Bin Laden Killing at the hands of America? Not really. Whom are we fooling. In the first place what I fail to understand is the so strong motivation that America has shown in finding and killing Bin laden. Ten years of hard work, focus and more than 3 trillion dollars in cost. Why was America soooo keen to find him and kill him? Why was the mighty America scared of Osama Bin Laden? Despite boosting of the strongest Military in the World, Osama Bin Laden had shaken America's confidence in their safety and security standards. By striking right in the heartland of America and causing panic amongst the American's, Bin Laden had proven to the World and more so to America; your citizens are as vulnerable to death as people in a poor nation like Pakistan. Osama's terrorist attacks on America was a big big dent in the American pride. The pride had to be restored. And so Bin Laden had to be killed by the heroic American Military. To prove to the world, look no one else could have done it. We are America. The mighty super power in the World. Only we could do it! Well that's all there is to this chase and kill story. And so dear O (b) ama.....I am not impressed with the heroics of America. Guys, the world would have appreciated you more had this 3 trillion dollar been spent on research for cancer, Aids and other killer diseases striking the developing nations. Honestly other than you Mr. O (b) ama, no one cares a damn if Mr. O (s) ama is dead or alive!!!!!!

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Not sure if he is deserving. Too early and too obvious! Obama has failed to charm Americans and the world, post his oath taking speech.

Swearing In Of Barrack Obama as the 44th President of USA

Just finished watching the swearing in ceremony of the new President of America, Barrack Obama. Undoubtedly, a grand event. Awesome. A strong message to the World. The power of America. Supremacy of America over the world. It was a very costly ceremony for a nation which is struggling with recession, job cuts and terrorism.

What touched my heart was the vulnerability of the Obama family. His wife looked emotional and out of place. His father, caught in the moment. His daughters enjoying the moment, probably not realizing the criticality of this ceremony in the world history.

What made me wake up, almost in the middle of night and capture this moment and feelings on my blog was Barrack Obama himself- he looked somber, detached and tense. There is an air of intellect and spirituality which Obama carries around. It was as if he was telling himself, I must be strong. Something about Barrack Obama is very arresting. Something about him brings hope.

What also touched me about the telecast was one old black woman. She was extremely emotional, greatly touched by his swearing ceremony. The pride on her face; to see a black man (an African) taking oath to the most powerful position in the world. It is probably for the first time in the history of Africa that an African has raised to such great heights. More so because Africans have always been looked down upon in history as slaves. Modern world talks about Africa as a poor, developing nation.

I sincerely wish Barrack Obama all the very best! He has a daunting task ahead of him. Barrack Obama spoke of hope & virtue. May god grace him with Honesty and Virtue. Good luck to the citizens of America.
