Mali, Sahara, and an uprising.

Mali was such a quiet and peaceful country. And suddenly some armed men returning from Libya want to separate from Mali and form their own country. They want to take over the resources of the Sahara and develop their own people. Without ever realizing that the whole of Mali is poor. If they wanted development they should think of the whole country. Patriotism is not present in people who stayed away all their lives and are back because they have no choice. Just because they have arms does not mean they know how to govern. It is kind of sad that the peaceful people of West Africa faced so much violence in recent years.

Isis and the final US presidential election debates

Donald Trump shed light on many issues like the growing global influence of Iran. It is clear the US policies have been extremely bad for Sunnis who are Saudi aligned. They have lost homes and lives. And yet he dos not seem to notice that the oil prices are the lowest it has ever been. So really, some of those policies are not complete failures as he may like to call it. Do not like the oil for blood bargain at all. Though, no one thought that a catastrophe of such scale would happen. Many mistakes have been made. Yet, I think Hillary might be the right person to the fix the problems.

What I make of Isis

What I make of Isis is that Isis is a bunch of mercenaries or people fighting for Sunni interests. And why is the world taking sides?

Of Regime changes, wounded people, and presidential candidates

To do nothing about Syria is easy - all that one has to say is that regime change has not worked. Let Russia deal with it. And what does Russia do? Bomb some more. Who do they bomb? Isis? Hard to believe the dying children we see each day have anything to do with Isis. To really do something about Syria we must be more honest about the situation instead of blame gaming. Isis will go away when the funds go away. Isis is really only a group of mercenaries fighting for money. Bombs will scare no one except bring more fighters. Saudi Arabia, Iran, and some other Gulf countries know how to keep peace in the region. Not so much Russia. Assad needs to go. Changing his regime will not make things worse. It is already hell. It is strange that people who put up so many pictures about Palestine suffering say nothing about Alleppo. They support Assad saying that regime change is a bad idea. Regime changes has brought about a lot of problems. The truth is that it was not so bad after all. A lot of dictators went away. Why are people fighting and killing each other? In Libya, people just randomly shoot at building. What do they want? It looks like a lot of confused people killing each other without a goal. And this lack of leadership and goals cannot be tackled by US or European military whose only role so far has been joining forces with some group and dropping bombs. I say step back and let people think. Make safe zones and let leadership emerge. Who can think when bombs are dropping on their heads?

Hillary and Trump and one of the most interesting political debates

The first Trump-Hillary political debate was excellent. Still leaving room to change one's mind. Both candidates are deeply flawed and yet very engrossing. Hillary showed clearly that she can debate Trump and Trump showed he knows how to be respectful towards a lady. None of his usual put down tactics. Hillary has a track record of getting policies wrong and creating a mess. On the other hand Trump wanting to fight ISIS is a big bummer. This grand fictitious enemy out there. American people are tired of fighting. We need candidates who want to help and make the world a better place.

Responsive programming

The new era will be of responsive programming. Responsive websites are all the rage already. There is no reason why there should not be responsive operating systems. Programming for a particular screen type is dumb and an anomaly from where I see it.

Why Korea stays divided

Korea was divided by the UN in to two parts so that two super powers can rule it separately. The people did not want this division. And when North Korea wanted to unite the UN decides to keep the separation. As far as the UN is concerned what was right for north should be right for south too. To fight to keep the separation was not logical. Koreans are not logical to not see this. They need to unite and vote for a democracy.
