It's not the first time for Obama must make a speech like that. He led the memorial service at the army headquarters Ford Hood Texas in 2009 after a shooting that killed 13 people and injured 29 people. In April 2010, he also spoke about the 29 miners who were killed in West Virginia. Nevertheless, wherever and whenever an incident should occur, people will feel very comfortable and excited when their president speaks about people close to them.

Fairuz Azalia : This is the fact that colonization on earth has done more than 10 years in the earth of Afghanistan. Almost or even more than 20 years, Afghanistan was attacked by a foreign state. After Britain, then Russia and now the U.S. and its allies. What's going on in Afghanistan?
Cisca Zarmansyah : Of course the invaders have a treasure map in Afghanistan.
Fairuz Azalia : usually, the colonists were given a capital by the greedy capitalists, and they were proud to send their soldiers. The occupation and suppression were begun as well as they built their lackeys. They did the murder, including killing the civilians with various excuses and reasons. Strangely, ... though the world community has cautioned that the invaders were wrong and should get out of the territory and its colony, but still helpless. Why?

The challenge now is to move poor countries towards prosperity in terms of economic, social and cultural.
Cisca Zarmansyah : Mother Teresa said, "In this life, we can't do great things. We can only do small things with great love." It's a simple & strong quote, isn't it? but this is not about great love, mother. It's ... goudou goudou!.
Cisca Zarmansyah : No doubt, the cause of the disaster is due to natural events. But what makes Haiti always be a common location hitted by earthquake is the social inequality. Poverty is the beginning of everything which leads to deforestation, unstable governance, pathetic building, high illiteracy rates, and it will lead them back into poverty. Again.
