^You are idealistic!

Why would anyone want another senile old man from old establishment?

I said the FAMILIES of 1000s people would be louder than the families of 100people. Actually, the opposite is true.

KK-You have point there. Does anyone know of any families that actually accuse Riyaale of any murder?. I would imagine it would be easy to try him since he would be easier to indicted for killing specific people with names! In the cases of mass murders, victims have no names, hence the investigation against any member of government engaged in mass murder would have to be rigorious. It would be hard to prove he actually killed specific people, but he will be try under the general law for partaking in genocide.

Ibti-Maybe my ayeeyo was thinking quote, "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." Tragedies on smaller scale hit home hence it is easy to identify and punish perpetuator, but those on larger scale gets obscured in numbers. Hello Ayeeyo

Inauguration security tight; cold taking a toll WASHINGTON — Authorities monitored a rush of intelligence leads Tuesday at the largest security operation in presidential inauguration history, including a possible threat from an East Africa radical Islamic terrorist group. Law enforcement and intelligence officials received information that people associated with a Somalia-based group, al-Shabaab, might try to travel to the U.S. with plans to disrupt the inauguration, according to a joint FBI/Homeland Security bulletin issued Monday night. The information had limited specificity and uncertain credibility, said Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke. U.S. counter-terror officials have grown concerned in recent months about the threat posed by the militant al-Shabaab group and a cell of U.S.-based Somali sympathizers who have traveled to their homeland to "fight alongside Islamic insurgents," the alert reported. Authorities stressed that the warning was posted as a precaution as part of the massive effort to monitor intelligence traffic and check out all leads in advance of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration. Officials have warned that the inauguration poses an attractive target for terrorists because of the large crowds descending on the nation’s capital and the historic significance of the country swearing in its first black president. "As always, we remind the public to be both thoughtful and vigilant about their surroundings, and to notify authorities of any suspicious activity," Knocke said. A senior law enforcement official familiar with the security operations said the Somali alert had been posted to make sure no effort was spared. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about security matters. The official said authorities have been monitoring suspicious chatter referring to the inauguration in recent days, but as of early Tuesday, they felt comfortable with security preparations. There was an unprecedented amount of security Tuesday, with thousands of law enforcement officers from 58 federal, state and local agencies working together. Sirens keening, squad cars and utility vehicles swept along downtown streets even before dawn, racing to cordoned checkpoints as crowds gathered. Knocke said officials consistently monitor all threat information, as they always do. There has been no change in the terrorist threat level, which remains at yellow — or elevated. Law enforcement responded to several suspicious packages and vehicles Tuesday morning, FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said. Many of the packages were found in trash bins near check-in points. People who were prohibited from carrying certain items onto the Capitol grounds had to throw the items away to enter. After the swearing-in, spectators tore down some fencing along the mall instead of exiting through designated areas. No one was injured, according to the Park Police, and the fencing was restored. Around 1:30 p.m. there was a bottleneck at 14th Street, a major thoroughfare, where people were trying to find a place to get off the mall. In addition, subway service was disrupted on one of Washington’s main Metro arteries after a woman fell on the tracks at a downtown station. She was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The Metro subway system was running at crush capacity since 4 a.m. D.C. fire and EMS department spokesman Alan Etter said medical personnel were having trouble getting to people quickly around the National Mall because of the throngs of people, but that everyone who has needed help has eventually received treatment. "Obviously the crush of people downtown is making it very challenging," Etter said. "We’re doing the best we can." © Copyright 2009 Associated Press.

^Malaa meelkale ka galeen hence the nightmares he has of them.

^LooooooooooooooooooL....That already has happen.

Mr Bush was then driven away from the White House for the last time as president

^Do they have an umbrella organization?

^I share your sentiment. It is history and leap forward for minorities in America, but nothing more than that. America's outlook on the world won't change, just how the language of diplomacy is framed would be adjusted, no more Bush's "bring it on". He has alot of leeway when it comes to domestic issues, but it has little control over foriegn policy-presidents only execute what establishment sets.

^It's definately celebration for African Americans who endured humiliation and the legacy of slavery!!! I'm also glad his wife is black woman-celebration for African women who endured centuries of abuse and rape from the white majority and also abuse and abandonment from their own.

^You too? Honeys attracted to power

^I'm not as optimistic, but definately one shouldn't downplay the historic nature of ascendence to the top job!!

Originally posted by cynical lady: destroy. God Bless USA You could say that again. You are not easily seduced are you?

Originally posted by Norf 1 Al Filastini: The speech was good. If he/America make good on half of the promises it will be a good thing. Regarding policies towards the rest of the world, those promises are just that promises!

Norf-I'm stuck at work Saaxib, but the country is euphoric all yesterday and this morning when I left home. So many parties tonite in Boston and all over the States, no president ever came close to what's in America today. So much responsibilty on his shoulder, and so many things expected from him since America is at a crossroad. To me what's important, blacks and other minorities including recent immigrants like us won't feel secluded even though not too many doors will open right away. Alot employees are downstairs watching the speech. I'm just gonna catch the rerun tonite. There is streaming online videos on BBC , and all American channels.

Why? apart from the historic signifance of course. What's with all the gals?

We hav new president. LoooooooooL@Norf...With the comment you made,American kids feel smarter right about now

^I'm begining to suspect he might be JB himself.

^Hello What happened?

^Meesha kakac baan kulahaa ee waan ku gobaabinaye adna aflagaado iila dhaqaaqde. Wayfarer...Yup he is beholden to those who put him in power, the j establishment decides the foriegn policy which is reviewed every ten years, and adjusted accordingly if that becomes necessary.

Wayfarer-He sounds like broken record now, same theme everytime with exactly words, but hopefully this address would be different instead we need "change' mantra. Obama will be for good domestic front, but no substantive change on foriegn just cosmetic changes.

Hi Val, N I get here now. A&T...Stop hating the guy. But funny story happened in Boston regarding Somali girl and African American guy she was dating. I fall off my chair when I heard it.

I'm gonna miss Bush
