Martti Ahtisaari, who led a United Nations mission to Iraq after the Gulf was in 1991 called for increased action to solve the conflict in the Middle East where Muslims seem to be unable to accept the existence of Israel. The conflict between the Muslims and the Jews in Israel has been going on for a long time now. Ahtisaari says that this crisis has been going on for too long and it is time to get some results. He hopes that the new president of the United States will give a lot of attention towards solving this problem in the Middle East during his first year in office. Ahtisaari said that this is “the most challenging peace building project ahead of us.” He has helped with the increased humanitarian aid to Iraq by pressing Washington after the Gulf War and he finally wants to see this crises resolved. Ahtisaari is afraid of the economic crises because it will dramatically decrease the development efforts for poor countries but he is trying to call on all governments to keep the foreign assistance and investments to developing countries. There seems to be many articles in the news concerning our environment. It is a big issue in our world and our communities and with so many warnings, we need to start making some significant changes. This crises does affect the whole world and it is important to do something about it, however, the situation will not change unless more people outside the government pay attention to the problem and get involved. Even the government is not paying enough attention to environmental problems and politicians all over the world are concerned more about the economical problems rather than our environment. People need to realize the importance of this crises and be willing to help
