Disturbing Times...

The UK has officially gone into recession. The world is feeling the pressures of the credit crunch. The financial situation is on the edge of peoples' minds and tips of their tongues. An Egyptian man reportedly lost a large sum of money and killed his sleeping family with an axe to keep them out of the misery.

The conflict in the Middle East still pluming with smoke. Israel has left many people dead, injured and suffering in Gaza. With the hypocritical withdrawal of Israel forces from Gaza a day or two before Obama enters the white house, the region is far from stable. Rumors of spies has been reiterated around Gaza and there have been reports of acts of retaliation against accused spies who helped the Israeli bombardment.



There was a sign of hope with Obama's win and promise of change. He took office and signed for the closing of Guantanamo Bay and halted all prosecutions there. Despite this he did not mention anything about the crisis in Gaza. He did not utter a word. There have also been two strikes since he took office on an area of Pakistan suspected of having links to terrorism. People have died because of the strikes.
Maybe there won't be any change!
I really hope just foreign policy and rightful diplomacy is displayed by the Obama administration.

I truly hope there are bright jovial days to come.
