Oil Problems in the Middle East
We are constantly wanting the most important resource in the world. Oil. Since the Middle East has so much oil, countries such as America want that precious resource. So they are willing to do anything to get it, even supporting dictators. Some parts of the Middle East that mine oil support terrorism. As you can see, that is a big problem. Were actually supporting terrorists financially!!!

Week 8
Herpes virus used to treat cancer
Doctors used genetically engineered herpes virus to treat some paitents with cancer. I think it's good to know that they actually found virus to fight cancer. It's important because after finding out about that, they can use it for other people that need treatment.

WEEK 8...? '~'
US judge overturns California same-sex marriage ban
A U.S. federal judge overturned California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage. The judge believed that it unconstitutionally discriminated gay and lesbian couples. The state measure, Proposition 8, was passed by voters in 2008 by a vote of 52% to 48%. It banned same-sex marriages and its backers intend to appeal against the court's ruling. The implications of this case go far beyond California, its end result will most likely be decided by the Supreme Court and will affect all Americans.
I think that same-sex marriage should be banned because marriage has always been a traditional union between man and woman. If same-sex marriage was allowed, then how would they have kids?? And even if they adopted a kid or through some other way, who would be the mom and who would be the dad if the parents were of the same sex?? This totally goes against God's rules!!! >:O I also think that by overturning California's VOTER-APPROVED ban, the judge was not respecting the rights of the voters. Since the majority voted to ban same-sex marriages, then I believe that the judge shouldn't impose his own beliefs upon the people.
This event is important because whichever way it's decided, it will affect many people. If the case is decided in favor of same-sex couples, not only will it affect them, it will also affect the minds of ALL of us, including the generations still to come. If those younger generations were educated from a young age that marriage between the same sexes was okay, then imagine what we would see at school!! Girls going out with girls and guys going out with guys!!! :o But if the case was decided against same-sex couples and gay marriage, many would say that it was taking away the RIGHT TO CHOOSE from these couples. These couples believe that the have the right to choose who they want to marry and of which sex. So whatever is decided in the end, the result will have a huge impact on all of us and create much controversy.
yikes man... O__o

Week 8
Obama confirms plan for US troops to withdraw from Iraq..
but there is some uncertainty
So everyone knows how the war has been going on in Iraq for the past several years. Now, Obama confirms this plan for the withdrawal of troops, fulfilling his campaign promise to end this war.
However, there is much uncertainty because many people worry that if the Americans leave Iraq, terrorist attacks and more violence will increase in Iraq. There have also been rising fears that the ongoing political uncertainty could hinder the plans for a full US military departure by the end of 2011 since many Iraqis are concerned about the failure to form a government, especially with an inconclusive legislative election in March with the disagreements between the Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish factions on who should be the next prime minister of the country.
Even though there is some uncertainty, Iraq is now a safer country than it was in the former years, especially 2006 and 2007. Now, people go into the streets and don't have the daily worry of being massacred and violently murdered even though security there isn't that great.
I don't think that withdrawing the troops will be a very easy thing for the Iraqis to deal with. Even though many oppose the Americans being in their country, our troops have provided them with security, and there has been less violence. However, if our troops continue to train Iraqis like they are now, I believe that Iraq can be a safer and more secure country.

Week 7?? ...or 8...
Assassination attempt or celebration??
"Iran denies reports of attack on President Ahmadinejad"
Apparently, Iran's president was attack on the way to his speech. An explosive device was thrown at his car, and it set off about 100 meters away from the car. However, after all this was posted online, reported, done, and said, all the information was deleted and removed from post. In its place, new information was posted. It claimed that fireworks were set off in celebration and to encourage the president. President Ahmadinejad says that he believes there was an attempt. He also believes that it was an assassination attempt made by Israel.
The answers are currently unknown. However, the president believes that it was thrown by an Israelis. This would mean that whoever it was, was sent by the government of Israel.
What do I think of this event? Why is this important?
I believe that someone did try to assassinate the president of Iran. That person might not have been an Israelis; he could've been Iranian. The person could've had something against what the president was doing, or had something personal against him. He or she could've done it because he/she was told to. Whatever the reason, I believe someone did try to assassinate the president and is now having his or her story covered up.
This is important because a president was almost killed. Presidents are important. They determine what goes on in a country. When a new president is elected, many things change in a country, for each person has different views and ways to go about things. If President Ahmadinejad was killed, someone else would've needed to step up in his place. Many things would then change in Iran. Some changes in one country can affect other countries. What if he decides to attack another country? What if he decides to change policies of immigration? Although these questions are only "what ifs, " there is still that possibility. You never know. Whether the changing of a president is good or not, you also never know. However, its the change that's new. That is why this is important to us.
