Yesterday I made note of warnings received by world leaders in regard to another potential attack landing on American soil, much like 9/11. While such an attack is always a possibility, warnings are merely just tactics to make the world and certain nations pay attention to their message.

The warning of a Third World War has always been present ever since the conclusion of World War II in 1945. Just because Russia has recently reprised the scare of a Third World War does not necessarily mean we will be enacting in one, if ever. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has used this tactic, along with the term "new Cold War," as a way to instill fear within the American government and people. This instilled fear perpetrated by Putin goes with hopes of dictating the United States' political ventures worldwide.

United States President-elect Barack Obama promises to work with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin by means of democracy to mend any on-going tensions left behind by the Bush Administration. A rekindled relationship between the United States and Russia would put off any potential threat of World War III, and if President-elect Barack Obama can also detract Israel from attacking Iran like he plans, then the world will certainly look prosperous.

The act of democracy can allude back to that old saying of "keeping your friends close, and your enemies closer." Barack Obama has promised change, and democracy is part of his itinerary.

With power comes responsibility, and I definitely feel when Barack Obama is handed over the power to govern the United States of America, he will humbly do so with great responsibility.
