Southern lawmakers in particular in a tough spot on the record on if they supported the flag by graves. The story quoting republican representative jody hice of georges saying this morning he plans to support the amendment. The amendment that is coming to the floor simply codifies existing law that has been in place for five years that allows the states to recognize historical significance on dates of their choosing while at the same time recognizing sensitivities that many have with the flag.

For a long period of time focused on arabic and palestinian, visavis, the israeli. Now, at least you have got three, the palestinian, israel confrontation still there. We have the gulf region and the east coast and the west coast. They are opposing each other. The third one is about the traps significance. Started from tunisia, now to many countries. So the missions are changing. And the United States meeps areans are changing. Secondly the mekchanisms, the ways of dealing with the complex situation are changing as well. For instance, the United States used to rely very much on the socalled quartet which excluded china from that. Now, with this Iranian Nuclear issue, we Work Together for p5 plus 1. This also shows china wants to play a role. Although the United States still is the first fiddle and china is the third one. The second one is the europeans but we are learning.

What changed the course of Human History here in our country and its always been popular movements. The civil rights movement, the womens movement, lgbt. Thats just national. Americans linked with people in west africa and even angola during the blood diamond years to help bring about change there. Popular movements are where things are rooted.

The light is coming at us and people like akon have taken the mirror and shifted it at this issue and listen to these people.
