Is the torch safe?

People have generally believed that Olympic games have a virtual message based on grouping people of different races ethnics and cultures under the cover of love and mutual relationships. Yet, since March 10th, China, the country which is going to host the games for 2008 is witnessing violent demonstrations and riots between Tibetans and Hans. Tibetans are known of leading peaceful marches to express their revolts and dissatisfactions, reported a journalist in Washington post. Ironically, the number of people killed in this case, (officers and civilians) is counted in hundreds.

In light of the violent incidents in Lahasa- the Tibetan regions- more attention should be drawn to discuss the safety of the torch. Despite the fact that Chinese government imposes strict security policy everywhere, still, it is hard to trust the situation.
The Olympic games are not competitive events to just win medals. They are also an opportunity to gather numerous nations under a peaceful mutual atmosphere in order to enjoy the Olympic shows. Therefore, ceasing this athletic opportunity to raise ethnic riots and cultural demonstrations is a violation of the peaceful objectives that the Olympic games attempt to reach. The torch, according to a BBC article, seems to be really in danger. This type of boycott presents a threat which might deter the torch's journey to the world's highest peak.

Obviously, what is happening in China is absolutely frustrating for the athletes as well as for the millions of viewers who are going to follow the great event. I think it is high time nations all over the world collaborated with China to find a fast solution to this turmoil before the opening ceremony. The international fear and the regular calls for an urgent stable policy as expressed by many countries, such as Germany, France, and the United States, imply that the situation in China is not stable. Summer 2008 might not be safe in China!!! Really, how sorrowful is it to hear about similar violent incidents menacing one of the most honorable and peaceful humanitarian events for the mere greed of power. How embarrassing too to know that the majority of troublemakers are students- the elite, which is supposed to be too intelligent and reasonable to interfere in bloody agitations for mere ethnic motives.

Holy warriors

it was the last movie I saw. I was surprised when I realyzed that the hero is tunisian actor"Hishem Rostem". they were really impressing moments to see one of your country acting in a movie broadcasted on one of American channels. Tunisia is really a small country but great with its poeple.

Tomorrow will be better

Be Positive is to be positive.
Be negative is to be negative.

Open Your Heart


Hi peaceful people!

I am Wafa and I am from Tunisia. I am 30 years old. I have a Bachelor degree in English language. I was an IEP student during last fall session. Currently, I am a student in ESL Instruction and Consulting School. I like language learning and cinema. Ah! I have to tell you that I am so excited about American Film class I am taking this session.

I am planning to pursue my Masters & Ph D studies in Applied Linguistics. I am fond of teaching and I hope that one day I can perform successfully in this field of interest.

The most likeable person for me is my little sister Ariha. I like my friends so much. I have friends from allover the world. I would like to have more and more. A friend for me is like a tree under which there is a shelter whenever it is sunny, windy, or raining.

You are welcome to join me on my blog address!!!!!!
