Pakistan helping Afghan Taliban – Nato

Pakistan helping Afghan Taliban – Nato

As the result of thousands of questions the leaked reports assert that the remaining Taliban is rebellious and also have bold support of Afghan people. For the majority of the world, international forces and Taliban’s opponent, this news is a critical reading. This report not only gave us bad news, but also good news telling that Pakistan knows where all the senior Taliban leaders are hiding. US Defence department still haven’t received any report yet, but they are concerned about Taliban being tied ISI(Pakistan’s intelligence service). Hina Rabbani Khar, minister of Pakistan is currently in Kabul for having a meeting with Hamid Karzai, president of Afghan, and no one exactly knows what they are meeting for. According to BBC’s Quentin Sommerville in Kabul, where the meeting of two presidents is held, Taliban is fully exposed for creating first time relationship with ISI.

3. infiltration

a. Adm Mike Mullen, former chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has explained Pakistan's closeness to the Afghan Taliban by pointing to infiltration of its army by the religious right, but he also says it is part of a grand strategy to increase leverage in the region via "proxies".

b. the state of being infiltrated.

c. Woodstock dormitory is often suffers from infiltration of monkey.

I think this is a serious issue, according to the senior al-Qaeda Pakistan basically knows everything and also control everything. Since Pakistan has strong power over them, they basically hold Taliban with them so that they can gain benefit out of them. I think Pakistan should not help Taliban, they are the world criminal who took away tones of people’s life. And with the support of Pakistan majority of Afghans will be influenced by Taliban. Also since Osama Binladin, the leader of al-Qaeda, was assassinated al-Qaeda’s influence is diminishing. It is good that the influence of al-Qaeda is decreasing, however new criminal group Taliban taking over this place and influencing others won’t bring any benefit to the world. Therefore we need to find a way to stop the influence of Taliban and also try to stop the contact between Pakistan and Taliban.

Europe freeze: More deaths in Ukraine and Poland

Europe freeze: More deaths in Ukraine and Poland

Another 20 people in Ukraine and 9people in Poland died, adding to 80people who have already passed away due to the freezing temperature. I Serbia approximately 11,000 villagers have been cut off due to the strong blizzards and snow. This snow might seem like a usual problem for uncivilized and undeveloped places like villages, however this time it is different. More than 600 people were trapped in unheated train for overnight in Italy, Apennines, when the engines and electrical cables stopped functioning due to the freezing weather. According to weather experts in Italy said that this week is the coldest week in Italy in 27years. Recently coldest temperature has been recorded in Russia and Kazakhstan. In Siberia and Ural the temperature fell under -40C and Astana, Kazakhstan’s capital, had temperature of -52C. However the air temperature was -35C, but due to the strong and cold winds the temperature is lower. In Russia majority of the traffic was jammed because of the heavy snow. Not only in cold countries, but even in Turkey about 50cm of snow fell in the capital city, Istanbul, on Wednesday. Also many people were affected by the avalanche in the countryside.

This event clearly shows the seriousness of protection and preparation people need to have. Not many people worry about this problem since they never faced any natural disaster caused by snow. People are scared of flood, hurricane and many other disasters, however, not many are aware of the danger of the snow. Well the disaster caused by snow contains hurricane, blizzard, and also flood, heavy snow, and these are much more dangerous since it has much lower temperature. Humans cannot survive in low temperature for long period of time and especially in snow where the temperature is below 0C there is no chance of human being surviving for long time. We should prepare for this, get ready to take action when heavy snow fall and causes natural disaster.

• If you were to write a book, on what theme or subject matter would it be based, and why? (Stanford/93)

If I was to write a book about something, I would love to write about how to run a business since I had lots of conversation about these things with my family members and also grown up in a community owned by my family and learning how to lead the community. When I was in elementary school in Korea, I always used to ask my grandfather how he could manage such a big place. He said “No matter how big the place is the way leader leads people determines how well the community will functions.” Even in present days when I ask this question he will answer the same. I always wondered how can a person be better than others, since we all are same kind and born in same planet. However, after attending a international school I start to realize that becoming a leader doesn’t mean one is better than others, but is trying to be better than others to lead them to correct path. The leader isn’t actually a better person physically, but he or she definitely has stronger dedication for others. Leader is not the one who seems higher and stronger than other, but weaker and lower than others to push them up high as possible by supporting them by any needs. I also realized that the time has moved on and the old ways of running a community just harms it rather than helping it.

Since I have so much to talk about running a business or running a community I would love to write a book about it.

Eurozone unemployment hits new record

Eurozone unemployment hits new record

Europe containing over 27 countries that uses same currency had unemployment rate of 10.4% through out last December and November. 10.4% equal to 16.5million people did not have a job in December increased by 751,000people from last year. The country which has the highest unemployment is Spain with 22.9% and country with the least Austria with 4.1%. Due to the debt crisis in different regions it made unemployment even more common and it made it to 10%. A economist, Guillaume Menuet, said that he expected the unemployment rate to reach 10% by 2012. In these 27 European countries unemployment rate is constantly increasing and the biggest increases over the past year is happening in Greece, Cyprus and Spain and the biggest fail happened in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

“History repeats itself” I have heard this line over and over again for past few years. Well there were many ups and downs in history and it seems like now is the going down stage for the European countries. However, I am sure that they will be back up with having low unemployment rate. A way to decrease unemployment rate is to create more jobs in the government, or change the market system to controlled market system instead of free market system. This might have lot of complain from big firms, however this can possibly be the solution for solving the unemployment. As the population increases there will be less job spaces, therefore the government should come up with new idea or law which will decrease the percentage of unemployment, not increase.

own topic (Mysterious deaths in history, and how can it be explained)

Mysterious deaths in history and present day and most of them have historical ending for it, but people have different perspective on it.

Death of president Rho, Korea’s 16^th president, had a mysterious death where some people believed that he was killed and some people believed that he suicide, this is the story recorded in history. Many people seem to believe what majority thinks and that is the problem of causing mysterious deaths. Even though some people know that the person has been assassinated, since majority believe that he suicide and the conclusion also had a same story as what the majority believed in. No one is actually sure about the exact situation; however some of them to have some facts which support their opinion. Connecting the sources of Kennedy’s assassination and president Rho’s assassination/suicide the differences between how people reacted towards this problem and also what caused them to suicide or get assassinated.

The story of John F. Kennedy is well known to most of the people. He was shot while driving through the road. People might wonder why and who killed him. I also believe that he was a great president and why was he be killed. There are few different answers to this question. And I totally agree with one of the answer, Kennedy asking CIA to share the secret information with the Soviet (Russia), since is makes perfect sense. Since there was Cold War going on between US and Russia there was a tension between them. There is a theory saying that because there were many UFO’s appearing in Soviet in year 1962, and they thought UFO was a missile launched by USA. Because of this reason Kennedy had a lot of pressure on him, and he wanted the soviet to know about the UFOs and he asked the CIA to share all the information with him and the Soviet. However since the time CIA was created the information about UFO was classified as the top secret not even a single president of USA got to see the information. Because Kennedy was forcing CIA one of the agents assassinated him. Kennedy didn’t have many choices, however, he had to make the soviet understand that USA will not launch a missile. Also in 1962 there was a missile crisis in Cuba which was stopped by Kennedy. This leads us to the point, it is not that president Kennedy did something wrong which made others to assassinated him, but greed or for the security of the high classified information a great president was killed.

President Rho has similar story, but isn’t clearly identified either he was killed or he suicide. From the view points of him getting killed, there are many different facts to support. Such as the testament suicide note he left was saved on the computer after he left the house. Not only this, but after his death, his secretary knew that the death will was saved on the computer and she did not search for anything in the room other then turning on the computer. Lastly there was only a drop of blood and few hairs found on the rock he fell on (told by the police). Well what bad things did he do which made him guilty enough to be assassinated. When he was on charge there were many ups and downs. Lots of people complained, but also agreed with what he did.

Before his time Korea exported about 150billion dollars per year, but when he got to the charge in four years he made it to 320billion dollars. He not only increased the country benefit, but also decreased the amount of unemployment. He did many great things for his country, however, he ended up getting killed by his own bodyguards who were provided by the government.

Why should someone who has done something great for the country be killed by its own government people. It is possible for the government to have conflict with the president or the x president, but killing them isn’t the right way to solve the problem. There are many mysterious and unsolved deaths in history and present days. We can support the idea, but not prove it since the government has done something so quickly or it is just too far back in history. Unless ones see the situation with one’s own eyes there is no correct answer for the mysterious deaths.
