I feel sorry for the people of United States of America. No, I'm not talking about obesity or Bush. It must be quite an embarrassment to admit you are an American nowdays, especially if you are here in Bali and attending the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is perhaps slightly better to admit that you are an Iranian or even Iraqi. At least you are not a citizen of the culprit nation who sabotaging the world from the fast way out of this already-here-and-kicking-global warming. For full report click here.
I know Americans (excluding those named Bushes) have their heart in the right place and yet the representative they chose (twice!) is the biggest mistake ever made for America and for the world. It is quite strange for me, a person watching from outside, of how when Clinton was caught doing (or someone did something to him) improper conduct with his intern, he was impeached. Mean while, there is his reigning successor who decided to thwart a dictator, stubbornly let his soldiers butchered for unclear reason and reject an agreement to save earth from further destruction (which is inflicted largely by the very country he reigned) and the people did nothing?! No impeachment whatsoever. Why? Anyone care to explain this to me?
Anyway after taking a deep breath, I decided that it is not really Uncle Sam who speak in the conference but its evil counterpart. The good one gave a sharp speech full of emotion on how his country “…the United States is principally responsible for obstructing progress here in Bali”. It will be a totally different history if he is the President now. But then perhaps he wouldn’t win the Nobel and becoming The Green Hero. To think that a wrong decision made in States could affect the world, each people in United States must be very careful in the coming election. Whoever will be the next President of United States of America will have the future of not just America, but this world, upon his (or her) hand.
It won’t be the unessential problems of what skin color or who was supported by Oprah anymore. It means a lot to this earth and another nations. America’s choice would influence everyone living in this planet. So, it is true afterall. All those movies where American astronauts (like Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis) were sent to save the earth from armageddon or a Legend to find the cure to human mutation. In the end, it comes to citizens of United States to do the right thing for earth and all the inhabitants, threaten not by alien or virus, but by mankind. God Bless America!

Postcript: USA finally agree to join the consensus of Bali Roadmap after a heavy pressures from the rest of delegates and the sob of Yvo de Boer, the executive secretary of UNFCCC. A baby step toward what everyone hope as a better living earth.
