Some world leaders, including Nicolas Sarkozy, have genuine Facebook profiles boasting thousands of supporters, but Bharrat Jagdeo, the leader of Guyana since 1999, is not one of them.

A fake profile of the president attracted almost 200 supporters before Jagdeo lodged a complaint and called in the police. He issued a terse statement pointing out that he is not, and never has been, a member of Facebook, or any other social networking site.

It said: “The office of the president is concerned that someone has impersonated President Bharrat Jagdeo on the community-based website Facebook.”

It added: “The public is being asked to ignore this impersonation.”

On Wednesday Jagdeo asked the Guyana police to track down the impersonator.

The reality of the current situation in Gaza is not clear, but based on the past few days of occuring events one can make a general observation of the outcome of this tragic war.

• First of all, the global public opinion of Israel will drop due to the humanitarian crisis it has caused upon Gaza.
• Hamas will be looked upon less as a terrorist organization and more as freedom fighters by the public worldwide, although governments will still recognize them as a terrorist organization.
• The entire Muslim world will be angry at the Israeli government and it’s current leadership and this will make more enemies for Israel.
• The current Israeli administration (Kadima party) will be back in office without Ehud Olmert after their election (coming up in Feb. 2009) due to their initation of the Gazan war in order to please the powerful Israeli class who have before the Gazan war started to accuse the Olmert and the Kadima party of being “soft” with Hamas.

So who are the winners and the losers?  The winners are clearly the Kadima party of Israel and Hamas.  The losers are the people of Palestine and Israel who just want to live their peaceful lives without their governments/leaders fighting each other over land/money/politics/pride/religion/etc.

Lie #1) Israel is only targeting legitimate military sites and is seeking to protect innocent lives. Israel never targets civilians.

The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime.
