Police, Protests and Death

It is almost a quater of a year since the first protests started in the northern parts of Africa. What started in Tunisia and then quickly spread to major parts of Egypt, thereby tearing apart the tyranny of Hosni Mobarak has now reached the Jordan & Syria. While on one hand Mummer Gaddafi still seems to be defiant about not letting go of the power in Libya, there seems to be a bevy of problems in Uganda where unrest over high food & fuel prices. What does this all show us?

Have the youth and citizens of these countries suddenly realized that they where being tormented and people who ruled them where actually not leaders but leechers....Or is this the "Fist of God" trying to set things right.  It is very sad to see that every day the body count in these battles is increasing, especially in Libya and Syria where the fighting has reached the civilian areas and no respite seems to be visible.

On the other side Nature seems to have also taken a grudge against mankind.....Tusaloosa was halfwiped out by a tornado which is almost a mile wide....It is devastating to see the devastation that it has caused...It just reminds you once again ( after what happened in Japan) that one cannot lock horns with Nature...Its way more powerful.

I guess its high time mankind realizes that we need to start staying together, reduce our conflicts and put aside the differences and build a world that is not just much more friendly for Living but also carries a hope for the future.
