President Barack Obama met recently with the prime ministers of Canada and Britain. This week’s meeting with Britain’s Gordon Brown, who was pitching a “global New Deal,” created a minor flap when the White House downsized a full news conference to an Oval Office question-and-answer session, viewed by some in Britain as a snub. The change was attributed to the weather, with the Rose Garden covered with snow.
It might have actually related not to snow cover, but to a snow job, covering up the growing divide between Afghanistan policies.
U.S. policy in Afghanistan includes a troop surge, already under way, and continued bombing in Pakistan using unmanned drones. Escalating civilian deaths are a certainty. The United Nations estimates that more than 2,100 civilians died in 2008, a 40 percent jump over 2007.

You homosapiens with such petty differences , that is what makes your species weak and inferior. It has been said many times again and again, your planet will be annihilated due to your own doing.It is a shame the poeple of this world cannot advance pass their own physiological limitations as well as your skin pigmentation.
You as a people of this class B planet named Earth as you all seem to call it, such technological advancements you all have made. It will be a shame for seeing a short lived species live only to destroy themselves or beneath their own people over something so simple. I make no pledge. I only offer you warning, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PLANETS FUTURE OR YOU WILL HAVE NONE.
