US and Iran
US President Bush and UK Prime Minister Blair sincerely feel that their wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have not failed and that they are going on quite satisfactorily as per their plan, though a bit slow.

Muddled Bashar
Bashar does not realise that it is time to go. He has nothing but questionable experience to offer. Batting, bowling, fielding or running between wickets-- in all these areas he is now a "no-go".

Sheikh Hasina's stand
Our Jononetri keeps on making the same claim that the general public want her to lead the country. But who are these people? I don't think it's the general public.

TV channels
I am rather appalled by the fact that recently a large number of TV channels were stopped from being shown. Who has made the decision and why? I am not talking about the local issues here.
