A Salute to Barack Obama

Not only America looks forward to Barack Obama to bring new light and glorious days to America once more, the whole world is waiting for greater things to come. I pray America under Obama will respect the sovereignty of other countries and not simply enter and invade other countries as it sees fit, just to protect its own interests.I hope Obama will bring a solution to the Middle East situation. I watched his inauguration on CNN last night and was inspired by his speech. With Obama as president and being the most powerful man in the world, he will surely be able to shape a better and fairer world for everyone.

I was glad that Obama had included climate change and the dependence of energy in his speech. Maybe America will contribute more to save the environment and not patronise other countries to save theirs.

Many world leaders remain sceptical of Obama's ability to carry out his mission. Let us work together because one man cannot do the job alone. Every one has to contribute for a better world. I just hope there won't be elements within the US itself that would jeapardise Obama's dreams.

As the US economy directly affects the Malaysian economy as well, whatever happens in the US will affect us as well.

In the final analysis, I simply hope American foreign policies will be a win-win situation for all. I am praying for wisdom to prevail.
