Editor's Note
Monday - Apr 20, 2009 - 11:00 AMFirst I wanted to thank all of the visitors and readers of my blog. I especially appreciate those who take the time to post a comment. We have had quite a few so far and they come from all corners of the world.
There is a lot going on in the US and the world that is worth commenting and blogging on. The biggest challenge I have, as an author, is time. I try to read as much as I can and share my thoughts on as many subjects as time permits, but still I feel like it's not nearly enough to make this site really popular worldwide. I have been approached a few times by others interested in helping me post insightful articles about what's going on in the world of politics. Most likely we will have a few staff additions in the near future as a result of that.
But in the meantime, the focus of this blog will shift slightly from blogging just about anything, to political blogging about places that deserve it the most. In my view those are countries and places in the world that have a very dynamic political and economic environment, often times very rural and yet to be conquered in many ways. Places often ignored, poor, forgotten, but as we saw on 9/11, places that can turn into centers of world's attention in a matter of a few hours. I believe these places are just as interesting, if not more interesting, as developed democracies with market economy and relatively peacefully societies. So this is the goal and I hope I will have more time to post interesting stories here more frequently.
