President Bush is trying to negate Newton`s law. His intellegince is well known: According to Newton`s law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As long as he is promoting state terrorism as is the case in Ethiopia and Somalia, the victims of this state terror sooner or latter react. You call them "terrorists" but they are either defending or trying to liberate their people and country from foreign installed tyrannt(s).

From Wayane we have been waiting soon some 18 years to make just little practical changes for the people, that includes all of us. From ourselves as oppositions and democrats we have been unsuccessfuly waiting for about 18 years for unity within diversity to bring about positive changes for the embattled and dehumanized Ethiopians, but instead facing daily divisions, endless bickerings coupled with visionlessness. Last but not least, we now seem to be waiting miracles from Barack Obama who have not even yet managed to assume and influence policies one way or the other. Even if Obama assumes power he is not going to have unilateral dictatorial power to do what ever pleases him just like dictator Meles. Miracles are supposed to be made by the people directely concerned, say, Ethiopians, Somalis and Eritreans and ask external powers for supportive functions only. In the case of Barack Obama the MAN has already made visible miracles practically imposing those dormant dreams be activated and become true. The phenomena has the power of global effect, crosscuting cultures, continenets, colors, ethnicities, religions, regions, etc. What more miracles do you want from a single miracluos individual? To make individual miracles for the over 6 billion people on this planet earth? That has never been easy even for Jesus Christ, Mohammad, and all the other Gods and prophets. If it would have been so easy we wouldn't be suffering grossely from escalating religious and belief conflicts all around the world. So, let us not spoil the future opportunities that may slowly but surely emerge with Obama the office holder. "Haste makes waste" as the old wise saying states. From Jesus Christ we have been waiting over 2000 years for making miracles happen.
