The decision of German chancellor Angela Markel to shut down several nuclear reactors for maintenance, in view of what has occurred in Japan during the recent earth quake and tsunami, makes some sense but also flies in the face of earlier decisions for Germany to stop relying on nuclear power which her government postponed to the year 2030. The German people have to be congratulated for their behavior since the Second World War, for avoiding wars and other man made disasters.

Mr.. shardrack There were many things i did not like about Mr Shardrack. He used to talk too much and create big issues out of small ones .

The crimes committed during and after the elections were horrifying,people were murdered...
