► Do not shy away from crowing a bit about your recent accomplishments -- otherwise, they might go unnoticed. Sure, it might not be comfortable to walk around tooting your own horn, but it will get you attention! And that's what you need right now. Too many other, less deserving people are getting face time with influential people. Are they getting the opportunities you should be getting? Being modest is all well and good, but it must be put aside when progress is at stake.

Today's African Proverb : "It is better to eat a mushroom in freedom than to eat meat in slavery" - Sent by Okelonyero Denis, Gulu, Uganda

That's right! Better seems a little nervous as to what happens to President Obama in his indecision at this time -- to let Russia in the middle between the U.S. and Syria,  (to destroy Syria chemical weapons) though, actually I wonder, "This is a case between Syria with its people, or a war between the U.S. and Syria? Why the story line puts Russia between Syria and the U.S. as the U.S. between Israel and Palestine? --  than he looks dashing but sinful in military raid to Syria.

We must destroy the source of our fears. If the Syrian chemical weapons is a frightening thing, why the U.S. will do the same scary thing with its military offensive to Syria? What is done by the Russians seem wiser than what will be done by the U.S. in its foreign policy on Syria.

Assad must be able to prosecute this case to its conclusion. Many defectors around Assad. They are dangerous, because they know the "Syrian army song lyrics" for later they can sing it in front of the Syria's opponents. Shanananaa. America frowned. Israel stunned. Assad's also gawking. They laughed. Damn! Nananana.

Obama agrees to diplomatic attempt before playing anti-Assad war card. Addressing the nation, the US president has asked Congress to postpone a vote on military action in Syria as diplomacy is pursued to put chemical weapons beyond the regime's reach, but called on the military to maintain pressure on the Syrian government.



Chapter & Verse: Obama carries ghosts of past to battle cry. While Syria's chemical weapons disarmament is widely seen as a good idea - there's still no complete unity at the UN Security Council. Russia has rejected France's proposal to invoke Chapter 7 of the UN Charter to the document, which would allow the handover of the arsenal to international control. That's because it implies the use of force. Here's how it was used in the past.

It saw NATO war planes bombing Libya two years ago under the pretext of humanitarian intervention. It also gave the green light to involvement in the Iraq and Kuwait conflict in 1991 - as well as the invasion of Iraq 12 years later. Back in the early 1950's - this part of the UN charter also became the basis for the Korean War. But the turn of events recently means that President Obama is unlikely to be able to deliver the same call-to-arms as his predecessors.

* Reactions to Obama's Syria address
* Opinion: Obama, the reluctant warrior

So, how? He must choose the U.S. or U.S. enemies, ys that what you mean? Oh, come on. It has been days I pray for the return of Obama as I know. Yesterday night, in my sleep I saw a curly-haired little boy man standing in front of the United States big logo. He wore a long white robe and smiled sweetly at me from a distance. He said, "The U.S. will do good in peace, not aggressive."

I was trying to trust his words then I replied his smile politely. He comes from Africa.

Yesterday in an interview in a video, I saw Obama face's aura was black. Now is different. He's just a black man, ordinary man with black skin color. That's it. But he's not so black anymore. His face doesn't look bad anymore, because what makes a person looks ugly is his/her attitude and stance, not merely dominated by physical appearance. (Oh God, I hope you are willing to guide Obama's heart and mind to always give priority to peace, not war. Amen.)
