I started a new general discussions forum in August 2009, in the beginning, I started with a free forum script “phpbb” but I found it not very good because there were many things that cannot be controlled with that script. So I decided to upgrade the forum to vBulletin script and also decided to completely redesign the theme.
This is the second vbulletin theme I designed. You can see the theme live at www.decentdiscussions.com
Your feedback appreciated about the design. And of course you are welcome to join my forum

That’s good design.
Thanks

Amid the all-too-common turmoil in Latin America, a peaceful and popular transfer of power in a U.S. ally deserves notice. So it went on Sunday when Juan Manuel Santos won a run-off presidential election in Colombia with 69% of the vote.
Now, that’s a landslide.
Mr. Santos is the former defense minister to Colombian President álvaro Uribe and he actively campaigned as the heir to Mr. Uribe’s “democratic security” policy. Colombians have now resoundingly ratified that policy, which over eight years has restored order to much of the countryside by scoring major victories against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Mr. Uribe moved against the guerrillas by strengthening the military while offering both rebels and their nemesis, the paramilitaries, a chance to demobilize. Among his many achievements is the drop in murders of labor union members. Because of the special protections given to labor, it is now statistically safer to belong to a union than to be a member of the general population.
Mr. Santos, a 58-year old technocrat who takes power in August, has never held elected office. But his 2006-2009 stint at defense and his commitment to continue making national security a priority made him an attractive candidate for a nation still threatened by terrorism. On Sunday 13 police and soldiers were killed by guerrillas trying to disrupt the vote. Mr. Santos has also challenged neighboring countries that provide a haven to the FARC.
This triumph also ought to echo in Washington, where Democrats in Congress and the White House continue to deny a vote on the U.S.-Colombia free trade agreement. One liberal Democratic excuse has been concerns about Mr. Uribe’s security policies, but Colombia’s people have now spoken.
Like Mr. Uribe, Mr. Santos wants the free trade deal to force his country to face the discipline of global competition and turn Colombia into the next Chile or Taiwan. Such progress would further reduce the FARC’s appeal, and it is certainly in the U.S. national interest. This one shouldn’t even be controversial.
