Weather calamities have hit very badly Asia's East Pacific coast countries Japan, Taiwan and China. The intensity of it force may die off soon, but the damage done and the number of life lost will take some time to come out. After effect of the damage will haunt the remaining people for many years to come, while their life will be spent in future with more threat in their minds, during this season of every year. Can the environmentalist and scientist dealing with global warming and climate change predict exactly how threatening the future weather calamities will be?.

The Taliban were trained, armed and financed by the US to fight the Soviet Army in Afghanistan. If it was wrong, according to NATO, for the Soviet Army to be in Afghanistan, why is it ok for US. Why are US troops in Afghanistan?, to establish US style of democracy? or is it to increase the surrounding of Russia and have a military footprint in the region

I am a citizen of Taiwan and I would like to comment on CNN's polling on "whether Taiwan’s' President Ma should step down". First of all, the topic of “whether our president should step down or not” is not for the foreign press or the whole world to decide. ONLY citizens of Taiwan should have right to decide such matter. Please STOP BEING ARROGANT. In many recent local Taiwanese talk shows, where the invited guests as well as viewers can voice their opinion, certain CNN reporters were being viewed as very arrogant and disrespectful. How can a reporter not knowing the international etiquette? By calling the president of any country “This man” is not only disrespectful to the president of the country but also disrespectful to the people of the country. Taiwanese people can call whatever they want, they can express their frustration. However, there is NO PLACE for any foreign man or woman to be disrespectful to us. Certainly, any foreign country and their citizen have NO RIGHT to interfere with our domestic policy including where to abolish the president. Thank you for your concern, but please do not go over the boundary!!!!!!
