Osama Bin Laden threatens retaliation over 9/11 trial (transcript from BBC, UK on 26/03/2010)

'A message said to be from Osama Bin Laden threatens to kill Americans if the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks is executed by the US.'
As far as I am concerned, Osama Bin Laden still played an important role as a threat to the western world after so many years since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. He seems to engage religious belief as a tool to dominate/manupulate the manner of his followers and making use of sectarian conflict within the Moslim world. As a result, he could take benefit as contradiction emerged, by all means, he will be a winner eventually and those followers has been fooled around by his tricks! In accordance with this article, Osama Bin Laden will certainly stir up another row of confrontation between USA and the Moslim world which in my opinion will be devastating in case K. Sheih Mohammed is executed.
USA will be paying a price if they didn't come to terms with the Moslim world, it's no doubt in my mind that retaliation could drag on endlessly which in the end people will be suffering high risk of insecurity (mainly the Americans). In fact, I am highly skeptical that either China or Russia is dominating the whole scenario behind which ultimately getting rid of USA and overtaking their position as superpower in the world for decades to come. The latest development will be worthwhile to be closely watched in the near future.

World is watching Hu trial, Rudd warns (transcript from ABC, Australia on 18/03/2010)

'Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has warned China that "the world is watching" the trial of Australian mining executive Stern Hu.'
When I watch this news I realized immediately that Stern Hu will be undergoing an agonizing process and put into prison next Monday which the trial will be heard. As we all know that the Chinese communist Party is taking full control of China and ruling the nation under totalatarianism. There is definitely no democracy in existence in China, people didn't have their freedom of speech, not to mention basic human rights! With Stern Wu's case, it gives us a more clear picture on how arrogance Chinese were; he is holding Australian citizenship and representing Rio Tento (one of the world's largest iron ore producer) as iron ore negotiator stationed in China and has been charged 8 months ago on giving/receiving bribes to Chinese steel companies and leaking sensitive commercial informations. However, many months has passed since remanded in custody, no diplomatic access is given to him as a result of the continuous request from Australian government. Even the trial to be held next Monday would be partly opened to Australian diplomats. Another thing is so mockery about this case that the CEO and president of Rio Tinto; Tim Albanese is giving a speech in a seminar to be held next Monday in Peking regarding strengthening global cooperation for a mutual beneficial future. Nobody knows about what happened to Stern Hu and what is accused of in order to give Rio Tinto mutual beneficial advantages in iron ore price negotiations, but one thing for sured that no clear evidence showing that he is violating against the law of China in accordance with documents from the court so far (which remains secret and unknown to the public).
Subsequently, I could speculate that Stern Hu will be receiving severe punishment from Chinese government without giving any resons after the trial, we will wait and see outcome of this case in due course!

Iraq elections hailed a success (transcript from ABC, Australia on 09/03/2010)

'Voting in Iraq's parliamentary election has finished and as the long process of counting the votes begins, Iraqis have celebrated their national elections.'
In accordance with report, voters from Iraq has cast their ballots on Sunday (07/03/2010) whom defied the violence to vote all over the whole nation. I salute them for their courage and determination to chase for a more democratic and peaceful country. As 2011 USA will be completely withdrawn their troops from Iraq which Iraqi has to be responsible of their country's security and stability. As far as I am concerned, it is really a great challenge to the government of Iraq no matter who wins the elections, especially insurgents/militants whom supported S. Hussein Still have a stronghold in the nation. (Sunny Islamic Party).
This is the second general election (parliamentary election) since the fall out of Saddam Hussein's regime, nevertheless, the ruling party (Shiite Islamic Parties) is confronting with their rival during this election and whether or not to be re-elected still remains unknown. In case no majority seats is sustained, I am afraid that the country will be falling into chaos once again, the point is; sectarian conflict has never been stopped as Al-Qaeda who manipulated the situation right from the beginning and without foreign aids/interventions in the future, I am strongly skeptical that Iraqi's new government could avoid their country relapsing into violence again and restore order. Subsequently, we have to take note that they are the 3rd largest oil exporters/producers int the world and lots of conflict of interests falls into/between relevant designated groups, (collusion, grafting, bribery etc.) That is worthwhile for us to watch closely the outcome in due course!

Extra troops deployed amid Chile earthquake unrest (transcript from BBC, UK on 02/03/2010)

'Thousands of Chilean troops are heading to the country's devastated earthquake zone as reports emerge of desperate survivors turning to looting and arson.'
First of all, I would like to express my best wishes to all friends on the net and wish you all a very prosperous year of Tiger!
Not too long ago, Haiti has been falling into chaos by devastation of earthquake, last weekend another earthquake of 8.6 on the Richter scale again shocked Chile. For the past years, our planet has been suffering from climate changes, natural disaster due to human being's ignorance, that everyone over the world has been paying a price. Due to the greediness of human being and undermining our environment continuously, glaziers is vanishing rapidly; sea level is rising dramatically, landslides and flooding has been taking place one after the other; extreme rainstorm and draught has hit hard countries used to be enjoying their stable weather condition etc.
Taking Chile's catastrophie as an example, even though natural disaster is inevitable, however, human being could restrain their behaviour and change one's concept on their never lasting exploitation on the earth, I am certain that natural disaster could be reduced drastically. Vice versa, if one did not change life style to be more spiritualized instaed of keeping on materialized to consume and undermine resources endlessly, our world will be completely ruined at the expensesw of greediness of human being!
