Just like the land that bear the name Africa,
Love is on my mind.
It's for everyone no matter where you're from,
Love, it cross all lines.
Like the feeling of all the seasons changing,
Love is a memory
And in these last days, when iniquity blazing,
Truth Love Speaks.
******
What is love really if it only affects,
one aspect of life?
That’s like a musician who only accepts,
his own musical type.
That’s like a preacher who only respects
Sunday morning,
and not Saturday night
That’s how a soldier can come to reflect,
that Love is
more than a man and a wife.

Regardless of one's moral sentiments, this is an astoundingly beautiful song.
Nothing else this group has done quite rivals it.
As to a loving globalism of the heart, a precedent is perhaps the breaking down of barriers, which technology helps do.
Still the globalism of terror stimulates nationalism and hatred.
Reprisal and counter reprisal both of weapons and of the mind.
So we live in a paradox.
The growth of globalism goes hand in hand with terror, military operations and brutal war.....
Leaders make decisions...but they are also children of their times...jockeying for position, pushing their agendas.
On balance I think we see an enormous growth in global consciousness which also stimulates a fundamentalist backlash -- whether it be of the Islamic or Christian variety.
Nationalistic fundamentalism is alive and well on virtually all continents.
We can only hope it does not become as strong in China as it now is in the Islamic world and in the United States.
At present China's official, sometimes repressive media policies discourage ultra nationalism.
Let us hope that does not change.
In America ultra nationalism, sustained by religious fervor, is still a powerful force -- nourished by politicians, religious leaders, talk shows, and cable TV.
Obama seeks to restrain it.
We can see from President Obama's visit that China "pushes back," is feeling its leverage as a rising power, senses the American weakness amidst economic woes, growing debt, and overextension in overseas wars.
Likewise Obama appeared to go out of his way to avoid treading on Chinese political sensitivities. He abstained from meeting with political liberals and opponents of Chinese restrictive practices.
China appears to have a leverage it earlier lacked.
It is a joy that I have lived to see the emergence of this miracle -- where these two powers have reached the freedom to show respect toward one another.
For it was my subliminal but clear aim from the beginning of my journalism career to work toward seeing this happen.

The evolving Chinese American relationship is a miracle of our time -- despite the dark patches.We can see from President Obama's visit that China "pushes back," is feeling its leverage as a rising power, senses the American weakness amidst economic woes, growing debt, and overextension in overseas wars.
