The Taliban Leader has no Faith...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/11/14/pakistan.taliban.obama/index.html

Interesting title eh? What exactly doesn't the Taliban leader, Muslim Khan (yes that is his name), havae faith in? Two words: Barack Obama. I found this article amazingly controversial. First of all, Khan is one of the most-wanted list and yet they still were able to get a list of questions to him to answer? Secondly, they picked the Taliban to talk about Obama; does anyone else see anything wrong with that? Lastly, did people actually think that relations with the Taliban would ACTUALLY improve because we have Barack Obama as president? I mean, this whole article is pretty prejudiced and stereotypical. It just makes me wanna bash these people in the head. Grrr, I hate this article with a passion. Okay, I've recollected myself now and I think I can go on. Where was I? Oh yes! Hussein, and by that I mean Barack Obama which Khan kept to referring to him as. Did they really have to include that in the article? No it could have done without, yet it just seems like someone is trying to scare people again. Finally, I leave you with a quote that I found just utterly charming:

"If he behaves in the way of a real Hussein, then he has become our brother," he said. "If Barack Obama pursues the same policies as Bush and behaves like Bush ... then he cannot be Hussein. He can only be Obama."

Okay so I just realized that I forgot to tell you wonderful readers why I chose this article. As some of you may know, I have a creeper friend on Facebook who happens to be from Pakistan, same as Khan, and well, he loves Barack Obama which is why I added him in the first place. (He found me, I didn't find him by the way.) Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy is part of some kind of gang and after reading this article, I started to wonder... "hmmm, maybe the reason this guy likes Obama so much is because he thinks, unlike Khan, that Obama is going to get in good with the Taliban or something." I hope that I am wrong although, that won't really change anything because creeper will still be a creeper, but it will make me feel better. Right now, I'm feeling that I'm on "The List" and that I'm being watched at this very moment. In that case, I'm sorry, I just wanted a foreign friend that's all :(.

Watch Out for the Falling Debris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Follow this link and all of your dreams will come true.... okay I lied.
Do you know how hard it is to find an article that's not about the election? America, the world does not revolve around you!!! While Obama was kicking McCain's bum in the election, a school in Haiti collapsed and now the death toll is up to 30. I found this article quite disturbing not only because rescuers pulled bloody children from the debris with their bare hands, but because the school collapsed only eight years before! Now the minister who was in charge of the school can be charged for well to put it simply not giving a crap about the safety of some 500 kids. Jesus is the rock of my salvation? Not for these children. It's so sad to think that alll these children were probably woke up that morning and thought, "Thank you Jesus for giving me the chance to get an education so I can be a doctor, prostitute, etc." Then the kids get to school and it collapses while they're sitting in French class (yes there is a French teacher at this school). I mean I'm not dissing Jesus, he works miracles, but seriously a church-sponsored school collapses? it's just not right.
