“Here Comes the trouble makers, again”
Comments on ideas of my friend posted in Capital Politics Since 1776.
I do agree with the fact that there should be a proper regulation in controlling environmental pollution, not only in the coal mine industry, also in all industries that emits harmful gases. Yes, today several industrial countries are trying to find the ways to reduce the production of excessive harmful gases, like Carbon dioxide Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen related gases, and so on. Controlling the emission of carbon dioxide from coal is just one of the thousands problem that every developed countries are facing today. Before it gets too late each country has to come up with proper rules and regulation, which can save environment in future. Today, we have seen developed countries like the US, Germany, UK being criticized for not showing enough concern to save the environment. Growing automobiles and industries all over the country have assisted in polluting air and eventually damaging OZONE layer, which is very vital for the existence of living beings. Today’s global warming is, of course, the consequence of such growing pollution. The US has been criticized even more after the country’s refusal to ratify the Kyoto Treaty, the convention that was held in 1997 to control the climate change.

Carter meets with exiled Hamas leader
I believe that what Carter thinks is right. Forget about the regions only in the Middle East, even the rest of the world is fed up with seeing day to day killing, suicide bombing, missile attack in that area. Killing each other is not the solution for the existing problem. If you talk to these Islamic people, they think Israel and the US are the ones who stipulate violations. On the other hand, Israel and other countries believe that the terrorist organization like Hamas is out there just to break the Middle East peace process. I do not think blaming each other will bring the solution towards the peace process. Israel says that the military is the only solution, but I do not think this is a good idea. The US government should initiate talk with all parties in the region and encourage leaders like Carter to get involve in peace process rather than criticizing what Carter is doing at the moment. From the fighting no one but innocent civilians are getting victimized. So, I have a strong support for Carter for what he is doing for peace in the Middle East.

Five Years in Iraq: Is it something to be proud of ?
Since the tragedy of September 11, the country had gone through a shock and now it is slowly healing. We all know that it is never going to be the same. However, the US government along with the country people became emotional and decided to fight against terrorist organization like Al-Qaeda. No matter how much government say, it is very hard to admit that we are fully successful over them. Even after seven years, Osama Bin Laden is on the run and still haunting us with all kinds of threats. The US government thought that by overwhelming Iraq could made much more easier to get control on the Al-Qaeda, but many people doubt that today, it has really happened. The US army went out and fought against Saddham Hussein regime thinking that they possessed weapons of mass destruction that turn out to be wrong. During this period hundreds of thousands innocent civilian got killed. So, my question is who should take responsibility for those killings? Now Iraq is on the verge of getting into civil war because of the growing conflicts on Shea and Sunni Muslims. Because of that risk, the US cannot even take out its army from Iraq. As described in The New York Times, even though, President Bush promised that he would reduce the number of troops in future, it remains same in 2008.The government cannot keep the US armies over there for longer period because of increasing protest back in the US. Therefore, no matter how much the current US government feels proud of, I believe, invasion in Iraq five years ago proved to be a failure. However, I do believe that the US must fight against the terrorism methodically not emotionally.

A Crisis of Faith
Since 2005 we started to see the same problem in the housing market. The forty years low interest and the booming housing marking made the general public invest more and more regardless of what sort of income source they had. According to the article the trouble in the financial market was brought up by investors and the banking, which I do not believe it is true. Yes, today we can claim that the faith between the investors and bankers has diminished, but who is to blame to bring up this situation today. My question here is why the federal government was apathetic about putting some sort of regulation from the very beginning? How come people who do not have stable job were allowed to get enough loans to buy more than one houses. As we all know how the banking system collapsed in the early 1930s. Having witness the lack of government intervention at the right time has brought up such financial crisis in the financial market today. The author complains about not having the faith between bankers and investors. In my point of view it is not bankers or consumers to blame who created record high default loan in the market, it is the lack of government regulation that has not been implemented on time. The US government could have intervened by setting up strict rules and regulation against banking system as well as against consumers even if the market was running smoothly. In the article the author is right in his point of view for the current situation. However, to find a solution we have to look at few years back what brought this problem.

Substantial Commentary on President Bush’s Agenda for Tax Relief
As per the Bush’s Tax cut plan poor and middle class families definitely benefit from it, however, this tax cut plan still would not be sufficient to help reduce the income inequality. The President Bush’s tax cut plan can help general American family only for a short term. Think about those levels of people who are making millions of dollars every year. Think about those mighty corporate offices, which have benefited from relatively low tax pay. The Bush’s tax cut plan does not mention about how to gain more tax from these high-level people. So, it obviously looks like that President Bush’ tax cut plan is nothing but just playing around with numbers. I do agree with the fact that by cutting marginal tax, rates raise the standard of living, but how Bush’s plan is going to get success unless the government finds the way to collect extra money from other source. Plan does not necessarily get successes unless there is a solid reason behind this. Day- by- day, the country’s military expenditure is increasing because of the war; day-by-day budget deficit and trade deficit have hit the record high. The economy of the country has been slowing down since 2000. Therefore, the plan itself does not make the American families better unless the leader of the country does not find the ways to rescue the citizens. I think, President Bush’s tax relief plan must include the ways to impose more tax to the wealthy families and give it to the poor and working class families to make the tax relief plan successful.
