Barack Obama .....

Obama seems to be on the right track in matters of foreign diplomacy.Last week when he visited Germany he made an inspirational speech and almost stole the hearts of Germans.When Hillary Clinton was initially leading in their Party's nomination race he did not figure in Media .He was an outsider to the A-list of celebrities but soon he impressed everyone with oratory skills and from no where he emerged as the front runner . Now its time to impress Indians all over the World.It has been an open secret that Pakistan is funding terrorist camps for many years and US leaders gave a blind eye.But Obama seems to be a man of clarity and has hit the nail on the right spot .He has not minced his words while addressing the core issue of terrorism.

Ahead of his meeting with visiting Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Obama said, "Historically Pakistan has tolerated or in some cases funded the Mujahideen" because they think it's somehow helpful to them in Kashmir which continues to be a "constant instigator" of tension between Islamabad and New Delhi. "We have to have an honest conversation about how counterproductive that is," Obama said in an interview published in the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
