First Time in History The US has no Policy to Counter IS( Islamic State)

The ISIS ( Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is now transformed into the IS( Islamic State). It is an organization that has split from it parent organization the Al Qaeda, but its doubly fearsome as it has a dedicated following and its appeal for an Islamic Caliphate runs across all sections of Sunni Muslims. I say Sunni Muslims , because the very nature of the IS precludes any accomodation with the minorities or the Shia minority in Islam.

 Thus the IS is waging a two front war, one against the decadent West and second against the Shia and other minorities. The IS is getting recruits from all over the world. Large numbers from the UK and the USA have enrolled to fight for the IS. In fact the recent beheadings of 2 American reporters were the handiwork of two British Muslims. Obviously these men kept their faces covered as they feared reprisel and like all cowards they want to live.Yet these men have been identified and one hopes they can be brought to justice. 'Brought to justice' is a fine phrase, but who will execute this?

The one power capable of taking on the Sunni fanatics is the USA and strangely with Obama at the helm of affairs a strange paralysis has encompassed the US government. They have no policy to counter the IS and Obama has admitted this in so many words. Its frightening that the number 1 power is clueless how to deal with the IS except a sporadic aerial bombardment that is not having the desired effect.

 The USA under Obama is more like a toothless tiger and I feel the American think tank must be berefit of ideas. Otherwise they would never have toppled two bulwarks aagainst al Qaeda and its ilk namely Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein. By toppling the USa has opened a can of worms that will enter in the long run the US stomach. They continue their shortsightedness by opposing Assad. The so called moderate Islamic rebels the US is arming are the very men who sold the US correspondent to the IS for $ 25000-30000. What a mess created as this poor man was beheaded and a video circulated. America needs a great President now, one who can salvage US pride and face the danger of a resurgent Sunni Islam. Obama is not the man,

 I wonder how the American people could have voted in a man who is half Muslim and studied in a Madrasa( Islamic religious School) for 2 years.

Arvind Kejriwal: The man who sought the crown of India when it didnt fit him

Arvind Kejriwal is a Humpty Dumpty. The famous nursery rhyme says that that " Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and all the kings horses and men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again". This sums up Arvind Kejriwal. This man opposed Shiela Dixit the Delhi Chief Minister and won. He thought he would similarly trounce Narendra Modi at Varanasi and that victory would catapult him to the chair of the Prime Minister of India. Unfortunately Kejriwal lost , in fact he lost his deposit and wasn't much of a challenge to Narendra Modi. Along with this his party candidates were humiliated everywhere and it is reported they lost deposits to the tune of Rs one crore. Kejriwal must understand that outlandish statements and rhetoric is not anything that will take him far. He seems to be a man consumed by hatred and that is apparant in his conduct and speeches. So sad, as like Humpty Dumpty Kejriwal will have years in isolation.
