The past few days are quite interesting after reading several Internet news:

1) There are reformists in Iran seeking to end Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because of Iran's being a "militia state" on their freedom and life.

2)Ehud Olmert's coalition government is appearing to be on the brink of collapsing with several of his cabinet members announcing or threatening to resign because he would not step down when the Winograd Report was published recently. The popular foreign minister Tzipi Livini is thinking about taking his place.

3) People in Russia are mad at Vladimir Putin because it appears that Russia is "going back to the old Soviet Union days."

4) Congress votes, Bush vetoes. The battle between the Congress and Bush continues.
