World's Most Influential Cities

Some survey published by CNN lists 10 cities as the most powerful in the world and they are:

1. New York, United States
2. London, UK
3. Paris, France
4. Tokyo, Japan
5. Los Angeles, United States
6. Brussels, Belgium
7. Singapore, Singapore
8. Berlin, Germany
9. Beijing, China
10. Toronto, Canada

I agree with some of these but I would add these to list

• Washington, United States
• Moscow, Russia
• Jerusalem, Israel
• Mecca, Saudi Arabia
• Rome, Italy
• Mumbai, India

A tearing eye on Poland

Poland--

Sadly today, Poland's President, his wife, the Chief of the Army, Chief of the Navy and Deputy Foreign Minister, among others were killed when their plane went down in heavy fog outside Smolensk, Russia.

My condolences go out to their families as well as the Poles.

The Poles were on their way to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre by Soviet Forces in 1939.
