Exploitive relations in any form need to be done away withBy: Charan Gill,Patiala | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 9:04:29 AM Reply | Forward Marx too believed in the peaceful mass movements when ideas infect the minds and they turn into material force.Theoretically there is no difference between Gandhi and Marx.Actually all the great men who wanted to change the world into a decent place believed in the same theory of mobilizing the masses for the struggle.Gandhi does not preach non violence as not using force.What does he stress is something else if we care to grasp it at the root.Nonviolence is a state of mind free from any reactionary sickness.Obama has correctly chosen his role models.He deserves to be among the most important leaders of the world whose team is now emerging to address the global problems of highest urgency.I may name some among them:Mikhail Gorbachev,Al Gore,Manmohan Singh ....They have the required vision for the need of paradigm shift.Exploitative relations in any form need to be done away with at the earliest.Mutual love and care is a must for all relations to be sustainable.Otherwise there is

ObamaBy: Vaid S C K | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 17:10:56 PM Reply | Forward It is good to know that Obama considers Mahatma Gandhi as role model.

Actions Mr Obama speaks louder than words. you are an excellent DebaterBy: dermarasa | Monday , 6 Jul '09 16:10:54 PM Reply | Forward that tells why he is listening to the hawks and the military industrial complex of his country to support invasion, and aggression, and occupation and maintain American troops in 82 countries, and keep sending more troops to kill the innocent. Obama is excellent on words but miserable on actions, it is action that speaks louder than words, so far he has not shown any action that makes him believe in the matter of foreign policy, actually he can on his own do nothing, because he is remote controlled by forces beyond his control, he is an actor who is supposed to read the script,. Please stop intervention in world affairs as you have been doing for the past 150 years since you brutalised Philippines in 1856. Leave poor countries alone. We seek no favours but we fear you terribly becaue only you hold the WMD in the world
