Obama and "change"...

Rafiqul Islam Rime, Agrabad, Chittagong
Much has been witnessed, much has been talked about in America and outside about the upcoming presidential elections. Senator Obama, the Democratic candidate, has by now charmed his people and others across the globe with his magical and magnetic prowess in terms of outward and the inward manifestations of the much talked about "change". It is that magic that the Americans are desperately looking for. It is indeed that hope of "change" in American policy that the people of the world are also looking for. We've seen, till date, that a black young, charismatic and flamboyant leader in Obama that has already captured the mandate of the Europeans (recent historic Europe tour) is striking gold to be the first non-white American president. We'll see in future that America is being ruled by a woman president --- democracy has reached its peak there. Now it all depends on the American people whether they will elect Obama or not. Under the circumstances, however, the "change" in American policy, namely the foreign policy and those policies on its treatment of the environment, climate and other important issues that have a bearing on global welfare holds the questions tagged. We hope that there will be some pragmatic and effective changes in the American policy.
