Recent White house announcement to wrap-up middle east peace plan through direct talks between Israel & Palestinian in a years time; at last, shows rare courage, confidence and priority of Obama administration to deal with complex global issues and find purposive solution with commitment. Pull out of Iraq and intent to close war in Afghanistan may be a very good start. But, US President must now broaden his engagement in world affairs to give new direction to efforts on peace, sustainable development and climate change compliance; as much to, consolidate his leadership over global affairs; as, to silence his critiques at home. Obama must now engage with world leaders, not only, to cut down nuclear weapons but also to reduce conventional war machine across the board to free resources for World Millennium Goals. Further, He can use his good offices to bring about a negotiated settlement between Tibetan peace loving people and Dragon country. And, end military rule in Burma keeping in view of the desire of vast majority of Burmese people.
