This is a must see video. Is it country first or me first for McCain? Is Sarah Palin the best for America?
The future of the United States of America is just few more days away in probably the most critical election time in the history of United States when the US economy is in jeopardy, people losing their jobs, America's global status and reputation being questioned and world peace is at stake.
This election is not just about winning. Not about a party. Not about color. Not about selfish ambition. This is about what you want for America, you and the next generation's future and the future of the world. America is a very powerful nation with very powerful influence on vast aspects--a power that may land on the wrong hands.

Most countries in the world are performing better against key measures of peacefulness compard with last year, according to the latest rankings of the Global Peace Index (GPI), now in its second year. This year the Index has been expanded to rank 140 countries - from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe - according to how peaceful they are, both domestically and how they interact with the outside world.
Iceland tops the ranking of the world's most peaceful, Iraq rated least peaceful. No surprise there, I've tried to start loads of fights in Iceland and no-one ever rises to it. They're just to damn nice. But then, I am the ultimate fighting machine.

Very sad story about such a good cause, awareness about the Italian artist Pippa Bacca. Truly a devastating story with a tragic end. Here are some excerpts from the NYtimes article
(full story @the link)
-
“She thought that in the world there were more positive than negative people, and that it was right to be trusting,” said Rosalia Pasqualino, a sister of Ms. Bacca, whose real name was Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo. “Trust is a very human factor, and she believed that to understand people, you had to get to know them.”
-
“Just read any newspaper — people get killed for playing music too loudly, and women get raped in the subway; there are fiends everywhere,” Ms. Pasqualino said. “This was not a question of Turkey or of religion.”
-
Ms. Moro said she and Ms. Bacca had dreamed up the performance piece at a party last spring. Wearing different wedding dresses designed by Manuel Facchini of the fashion company Byblos, the two artists were to travel — at times together, at times separately — through northeastern Italy, Serbia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and Syria, before arriving in Israel. Along the way they would stop at galleries, foundations or cultural centers to meet with local artists, craftsmen and midwives.
-
“In every country, including Turkey, we hitched rides with amazing people, from students to farmers to businessmen,” Ms. Moro said. “Some offered us lunch. Others didn’t even ask why we were dressed like that; they didn’t even care.”
