Iran nuclear containment, Libyan admission of guilt in connection with weapons of mass destruction and Syrian compliance on catching terrorists, along with Yemen activities to catch Alqaeda and Saudi massive crackdown where ad are appearing every day in all the leading newspapers demanding imprisonment of 29 leading members of cells, Pakistan throwing a 20,000 man dread net to catch the pockets of Alqaeda like Mush announcement 'it is race with time him or me,' if US is not safe today after all this how unsafe it was under establishments who had no idea of how the cancer has enlarged within global body politics. We all need to answer these questions it is about our collective freedom and our collective security. Never in annals of human history so many human beings have been freed from the yoke of tyranny and absolute poverty, we are on verge of a new global new era, welcome to the new world of understanding a world that has no borders. If this not the greatest of grand alliance, just look at Mr. Vajpayee to Pakistan he had 500,000 soldiers all set to go for war just a year ago, this administration brought the two sides together, the greatest of hitch behind the close doors on Kashmir is being resolved the fifty two years old stance that plebiscite should be the basis is being withdrawn this is a colossal change of dynamics of politics in South Asia where 1.5 bn people live under the dark clouds of nuclear tipped opponents. To take all the nations from Indonesia Megawati to Pakistan Mush and Prince Abdullah in a single knot of alliance and get the hardliners to tow the line is art of greatest peaceful efforts made by this administration. If this is not greatness and a new era and a new renaissance within Islamic world only possible due to accountability of responsibilities that what else is greatest display of diplomacy, Bush and Powell both deserves highest praises...
