     Saparmurad A. Niyazov, (1940- 2006), Turkmen politician
    imagined himself as "Head of all Turkmen"

    New elections after his death, hopefully solved this problem

     New Crusade

    The "Crusade" of the American religious fundamentalists against the Muslim fundamentalists of the World,
    could be as disastrous as the crusades of many years ago.

    The "Crusade" not only polarizes and destabilizes the Middle East, but also many parts of the world.

     Non Democratic processes in So-called Democratic nations

    In some counties the one who got the highest popular vote in an election is not declared the winner
    do to rigged election laws giving more power to certain areas or groups, or
    can be subverted by courts, packed with political cronies.

     Nuclear Concerns

    In this World there should be no need for Nuclear weapons

    Lets be consistent and demand that all nations in the Middle East
     give up their Nuclear arms, and plans to build them

    Korea

    My Photos of Korea

    All of Korea can only be safe if North Korea gives up its Nuclear weapons
    and South Korea is encouraged never to build them.

     

    Principal danger is that, cash strapped, North Korea
    starts selling them around the World.

     

    Lets resist more nations obtaining nuclear devices
    and encourage all those who have them to destroy them!

     Use of Land Mines

    Land Mines are a cruel form of weapon, since they kill more civilians than combatants
    and are around in unknown locations long after the conflict.

    The DMZ  between North and South Korea is heavily mined
