Title: The World needs only one reason to celebrate - PEACE
Barack Obama wrote on Facebook dated 31/12/2009:
As we head into 2010, our Facebook community has grown to over 7 million. That's over 7 million reasons to celebrate as we enter the new year. Thank you for your support.

Mr President, don't worry about the 6,999,999 reasons to celebrate, the world needs only one - PEACE!
Casualty statistics are not just numbers; they also represent sadness, misery and scarred memory. Wars create barrier, resentment, hatred and revenge. They destroy buildings, dwellings, lives, humanity and meaningful history.
It's not a matter of "Yes we CAN"; it should be "Yes we WILL" - to live in harmony with other human beings as well as with the environment.
