Clinton claims victory in NH

summary: U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton claimed a come-from-behind victory in New Hampshire's Democratic primary, edging out her Senate colleague, Barack Obama, after placing third in the Iowa caucuses. "Now let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me," she said. Giuliani said: "This is just the beginning... We've got a lot of places to carry on this fight and we're going to prevail."

opinion: This is fun. Watching those politicians fighting each other and trying to be so calm and nice on outside is just hilarious. Hilary is just excited at the fact that she won by 2 percentage and she is just about to die, so as the other people but she is feeling good though. Whatever the caucus and the primaries are, I hope, at the end, Hilary would get kicked on her butt and see her crying and mourning.

Iowa front-runners offer different takes on Iraq

summary: Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama, the front-runners in the race for the White House after Iowa caucuses, offer clearly different views on Iraq. Obama, a Democratic U.S. senator from Illinois, opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. Republican Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, supported the war at the start and now supports Gen. David Petraeus' strategy of cautiously reducing troops levels only as security improves.

opinion: Well, my opinion on Iraq is that it is pointless. There is no point at all. If America was really wanting the oil places, they should have sent all the military forces and get it, whatever the other world say. However, the war is getting longer and longer and they are helping the people in Iraq. Well, whatever people say, I don't see the war with Iraq. Not only for that reason, but also, the fact that his opponent is Hilary and is female makes me wish Obama to win the election this year.

Sarkozy: Relationship is serious

summary: French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that his relationship with former supermodel Carla Bruni is a "serious matter," but he would not reveal a date for their wedding. Sarkozy spoke at a news conference two days after a French newspaper reported the couple planned to marry in February. Sarkozy divorced his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, in October. "With Carla, we decided not to lie," Sarkozy said. "We didn't want to hide."

opinion: First of all, I have to say that he is a lucky guy to get a supermodel. (don't you agree mr. hjort?, honestly.) Second of all, I don't envy him because I don't like skinny people. Third of all, I think when someone is in power and high position, they sould watch for themself with their actions. Thus, I think that is why France has never been on the top leading nation in history.

Abortion clinics strike in protest in Spain

summary:Spain's main private abortion clinics began a five-day strike to protest a crackdown on centers accused of carrying out illegal operations. The strike, backed by some 50 clinics that conduct more than 90 percent of the abortions in Spain, is a response to raids late last year of clinics in Barcelona and Madrid in which more than a dozen people were arrested. Just over 100,000 abortions were carried out in Spain in 2007.

opinion: my personal opinion is, regardless of why they want to get that operation, all women who want can have the operation within first 12 weeks, before the embryo stage. Well, it used to be that way, actually. Now I think abortion is a awful thing to do and there should be no abortion clinics or operation or whatsoever. Now I know how one baby can change one's life. I don't want that wonderful life to go away.
