Such are the machinations of geopolitics which is really what’s bringing down this planet.

The plot thickens when ulterior motives and self-serving interests of geopolitical forces come in to complicate things.

Hi Grace,
Thanks for you comment. Yeah rightly said such is the reality. And while it ends up looking too complicated, at its core are divisive perceptions build up over the years and fed on by politicians. Though digressing a bit this where the importance of Obama lies. At least he is trying to overcome divisive forces inside America. Even the world needs such a leader and may be Obama himself could be that.

He is there to propagate a power that he can hold.

Although Obama has stated at the outset that war in Iraq should end, we may not be able to guess what he will do when confronted with situations where Obama the man separates from Obama the politician. He is still a potential president of a geopolitical superpower.

But bless him for wanting to end the war in Iraq posthaste. Bush has been war-happy for a long time now.
