history and common man

when ever i read history, i used to wonder how it affected the common people. did they knew how impt one day that event will be. did they realise they are becoming a part of history..and i use to wonder how our times will be recorded. what will be the most impt issue that stand out.
As a common person whose life revolve around four meals a day and weekends i would like to ponder over the current world situation.

The one event that got engraved in my mind was killing of saddam. how all the rules and laws were kept aside and a country was torn into piceas. THE INTERNANATIONAL LAWS and rules were mocked of. that incident in my mind created an impression that hitler and germany could happen again. the whole world just kept quite to something it knew was not right. we use to think ooo its not possible for that to happen. but in this world anything is possible.

i think even the common man was aware of the unreasonable meddling of a superior state with another. there were rumours. i heard people talking abt it. it didnt matter whether they were literate or not..whether they were house wifes, beggers or a traveller.it didnt matter that their opinions didnt count..but they talked. they speculated and watched...and stood helpless witnessing the end. it was black day in the history.i am sure it will be recorded as a black day in the history of international law and principles.

now we are reading abt financial crisis.it was a thing thing i believed impossible. such a big economy crumble?? is it possible?
while visiting my native place i was shocked to hear the exorbitant price hike in real estate. then i remembered my economy class. after acheivng the optimum the curve has to decline. yes it cannot go further . and in my mind i was waiting to see how it will decline..of course there should be a limit right? and the way gas prices are increasing..the gulf countries dosent even know what to do with the excess money..now i have seen the melting of the economy. so this is how it is right???

so this financial crisis will be another lesson in history. i
am waiting to see the world impact .great i am living in a historical time. :-)
