Syria can wait?


This is a real event that is happening nowdays and since more than one year (march 2011).
'Revolution in Syria'. Can be called in that way.
Syria's president Bashar al-Assad, in the position 10+ years, took the power after his father (Hafez al-Assad).
Al-Assad attacks (daily) his own country, but he says everytime that those are terrorists.
On the other side, the 'rebels' are fighting against the government forces. Everyday in each city many people die. No matter woman, children or man.
Taking into account this situation, the world should act quickly. But it doesn't happen yet.
UN "tried" with special envoy Kofi Annan, but nothing happened. A route plan was made, 300+ UN forces went to Syria to act as 'Peace forces', but nothing happened.
Now, world leaders give each week an opinion about what's happening in Syria.
But no actions. Nothing.
Turkey had accepted many refugees. But in some days this country will say, no more! There are more than 60.000 people.
So, Syria can wait more time?

Ecuador want to be the focus?


Julian Assange, famous because of his 'leaks' during the last years, can be the focus of the world in this moment.
Sweeden required him, because could allegedly abusing some women. All we know that thing since 1+ year ago.
But he decided (seeing he cannot do anything more ) ask asylum to Ecuador, to president Correa.
That thing happened some months ago, but previously Assange entered in Ecuador Embassy in London.
Nowdays Ecuador Chancelor answered his petition with a yes. So Assange received the answer he wanted. But why he want is asking assylum taking into account he consider he is innocent?
Maybe, he think there is something hide like his leaks of reserved US important information?
Taking into account Correa's position, saying that he want to care of Assange's security, why Ecuador's president didn't think in what he is doing inside his Country? maybe he want to be the focus of all the world, but without accepting he doesn't care about the journalits and expression liberty in his country?
UK is not agree with Ecuador's decision, they told that they will not enter inside Ecuador's embassy. But they don't let Assange travel to Ecuador. This case include many questions without solve.

"Inspire a generation" London 2012

Another olympics year.

Sounds good! It's a good year. It's a different year. All the countries around the world (regardless politics or economic situation) can measure how is it's sports 'scope'.

It's a good time to forget conflicts or economic crisis, it's a good time to watch and breath sports.
But also it's a good time to see which countries are looking to the top, which countries support all their athletes, which countries win at least 1 gold medal, or silver one.

Olympics means the best athletes. That's true. But why a few countries win only gold medals. At least 41 countries won a Gold during London. And the other 100+?

In the top Only USA and China are competing. Then Great Britain, Russia, Republic of Korea, Germany, France, Hunagry, Italy, Australia (and at least 31+) obtained 1 gold.

There's still the question. The other 100+ countries. Athletes can do it! but those countries support their own athletes to improve their level?

By the moment it's important to have fun and enjoy olympics. But the goal for many contries is Rio 2016!

More than a good driver: Ayrton Senna

18th anniversary of Ayrton Senna tragic crash in San Marino GP.

A hero remembered: Ayrton Senna

By:

The events that played out on my TV screen in the early morning hours 18 years ago today were ingrained forever into my mind, as they were for millions of Formula 1 fans around the world.

Ayrton Senna's heavy crash from the lead of the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola at first looked like just another unlikely bump in the road of his surprisingly slow start to the season for Williams-Renault; then, it became clear that things were more serious; then, bizarrely, impossibly, grave. The images on my screen were plain enough, but still surreal – all the more so as they followed the shocks we had experienced earlier that weekend, of Roland Ratzenberger's tragic death in qualifying the day before, and Rubens Barichello's near-tragic wreck in practice on the Friday. But this was Ayrton Senna, the master of the art. Such things couldn't happen to him...could they?

Senna's records have been recounted in detail so much that one tends to skip over the numbers – the 65 poles, the 41 wins, the three World Championships – without fully processing the impact they had on the sport and his contemporaries. Even the fact that his records have been broken hasn't diminished Senna's place in the minds and hearts of those of us who were privileged to watch him working his magic. And now Asif Kapadia's masterful film Senna has enabled more recent arrivals to F1 fandom to gain an understanding of Senna's skills as well as his forceful, engaging charisma.

For it's the aggregate of all those things that made Senna more than a great racer, more than a star, but a hero for me and countless others. We recognized his flaws – he could be churlish when thwarted by mechanical failures or when he thought he was being unfairly treated or denied his due, but we gave him more leeway than we might have others in the same circumstances, since we recognized it as another part of the passion that he brought to all aspects of his profession.

Rockets


Last week North Korea launched a big rocket. Against the comments of many countries around the world they did it. But Finally it failed. After some minutes in the air it went probably to the ocean.
N. Korea government told it was a satellite. Who knows?

This week India launched with the ‘approval’ of some countries a big rocket that can run long distance. 

According to indian authorities more than 5.000 kilometers. It was a test, but it is important to take into account that the rocket has nuclear capacity. A important fact!

What means this ‘tests’?

Maybe is call of power in this nations or maybe can be simple tests only to measure the artifacts.
Is not a good moment to test rockets, according to the international panorama.

Probably other countries will develop similar ‘exercises’. And the ‘excuses’ of those countries may not be ‘just kidding’.

Syria? yes Syria


The situation in Syria is critical since one year ago.
But during the last week Al Asad forces have started a slaughter in regions like Homs and Idlib.


Those attacks are against the called ‘rebels’ (maybe as Libia ones).
Battle tanks and heavy artillery is used actually to kill lot of people (including ladies and children).
Day-by-day newspapers and TV take  images of dead people and buildings completely destructed.
But Syria is alone in the world?
UN named a former general secretary to talk with Al Asad in Damascus and look for a solution but during the last days nothing happened.


Security Council Meets on Situation in Libya

Security Council of UN talked many times about Syria, but two countries dont want to act (Not refferring military).

Latin american presidents (very-very far of Syria) support the President that only says the dead people is because of terrorists.

International Community will be the whitness of  more than 8.000 people killed in Syria? countries around the world will forgot that Syria crisis is in a high point?
