Dear Editor,
As we enter 2009, I forsee many challenges globally. The new American administration will soon take office, and the world is awaiting changes; however, one must not be carried away with the idea that even if it is needed, change will be coming to the various regions.
Most of the four-year term will be spent addressing the present economic crisis in the US.
Other major focuses will be the two ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; global warming; North Korea; Iran; Sudan and the conflict with Israel and Hamas/Palestinians.
So, stop holding your breath, Guyanese, and continue to be more innovative in creating your own change if it is needed and for any further development. You have most of what it takes with the exception of technology, and use it.
At the end of the day, we are considered third world, and nothing is going to change that.
Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
