Okay, here is a contender.

He has won handsomely and looks to challenge Obama end of this year. Republicans are all smiles now that they have found someone who can put up a fight and has a good chance to topple the incumbent. It was not an easy journey. He has endured vehement criticism and a good amount of rhetoric all through the uphill climb until Tuesday.

America has noted that. And it would vote with that in the mind. There are still some cobwebs in the minds of a good number of people both about Romney and about Barrack Obama.

Come, Election Day, they would have hopefully cleared and the casting of the vote would give the
redemption that America is waiting for.

Point to note here is the upheaval in the world as a whole. Incidents that are happening around the world are akin to a lot of smoke that may ignite a major fire.

I am talking about Syria, Iran, North Korea and of course, Russia.

Iran being the foremost trouble maker and Israel with its itchy fingers. It is a delicate situation America finds itself in. We can’t give an inch to Iran neither can we encourage Israel to strike.

Playing peace is tougher than going to war.

Syrians are out in the streets and they are being killed in dozens. At one point or another US has to intervene and that has to be played well too.

North Korea has a new guy at the helm and he would be looking for an opportune moment to prove his
mettle by going for some adventurous military maneuver.

And then there is Putin. He is now the President again. He has a group of countries under his influence and he may play mischief to our discomfort when he sees it fit.

All said, to procure a single rose one has to accept the fact that there will be thorns that are out to hurt on the way.

It’s about balance.

And the would-be President should keep that in mind before he raises his hand to swear an oath to protect.
