Finally, Martin Luther King's dream has come true. It took 45 years from 1963 to 2008 but the struggle has gained its fruit. The story had a bloody beginning but a happy end.
This time, I tried to follow up the US Elections 2008 very closely. I wasn't sure that Barrak H. Obama who has an Islamic background would win. But he has made it.
The most remarkable and impressive thing was the party based elections in USA. It was truely remarkable to note how parties had selected their cadidates for presidential election. Incredible democracy I must say. I wish my country may have such democratic culture.
Here are three amazing speeches by three outstanding personalities. I read them many times. Not only the words, their delivery styles are also captivating.
