The price of war


Is world peace or war more important? Many people fail to realize how much money that it is costing to fight this war in Iraq. How can killing other help make peace it only makes situations worst. Also why are we fighting a war in Iraq when there terrorist are in Afghanistan. These are things we need to sit down and think about. Calculations were made that the war that we are having now in Iraq cost about $2 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of money.
What amazed me is the things that can be don’t with money. Meanwhile where using the money foolishly. If we was to take some of that money and teach everyone in the world how to read and write, eliminate poverty around the world, immunize every child and put more money towards finding a cure for aids. We could real have a perfect world to live in. All of that rounds up to about $156.3 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money but nothing near close to the amount of money we spent on this war that we don’t know why we are having. People please be more careful about who we vote into the white house. We can try to make a change for the better in Nov 2008.

How to prevent future attacks of terrorism.


Many of times America gets into war because of situations that don’t concern them. If we keep continuing this pattern of fight battles for other countries we will become the world most hated country. Which we already have the title for. The following is steps that the government can take to help put a stop to terrorism. These four steps are easy to follow and basic things we should already know
First we have to learn how mind or own business and not interfere with other countries dispute. Second we can’t give money to other countries so they can fight a war. Third we have to secure or selves in case of an attack. Forth we need to “target the aggressor and not the innocent”. Is clear to see that all of the following rules that I have just listed America have already broken all of them. We need to change the way the government thinks and try to stop them from doing as they wish. If we do let them continue that’s going to be more money for us tax payers to pay. If the following four rules are followed we would eventually gain or status back and not be the world’s most hated country.

Terrorism in black communities in NY



Terrorism isn’t just a major factor all over the world. It plays a major role right here within or communities in New York City. Not because of the events that token place on September 11th but from the stereotypes that are brought up against young African American males. I being an African American male can tell u personally we are targeted by the NYPD and various stores.
We are targeted by the police department because of other criminals. One person can’t represent a whole race. That’s unfair to us and it’s also racist. The NYPD have murdered two innocent men within less than 8 years apart with releasing over 40 shots at the suspects. Both of the suspect where unharmed just going about their business. Now that doesn’t sound fair, when have u heard of incidents like these happening to white Americans? Rarely or never. That’s only two incidents like this for New York. Now personally being black and going into certain stores you feel like someone is always looking at you. They say African Americans shop lift the most out of any other race groups. It quite obvious if u target one group instead of all the stats is going to be higher for us. Before America try to fix problems elsewhere the need to start in their community.

Could we have stopped 9/11?


We all know of Osama Bin Laden and what he had done to the American society. He was the man responsible for 9/11. Could we have stopped this mad man?. The government had reason to believe that Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaida was responsible for the attack on the world trade center in 1993 where six people died. In 1998 he also was responsible for the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Africa killing 224 people. Also in 1998 Osama Bin Laden declared a holy war on the United States. If one man holds such great danger and towards America you would think we would capture him dead or alive when we get the chance.
In the fall of 2000 the Clinton Administration had the perfect opportunity to kill Osama Bin Laden or bring him in. They sent spy planes to fly over the Al-Qaida know training grounds. In the footage seen from the source you can see them performing military drills and target practicing. Later that fall they caught more footage of Osama Bin Laden which shows the Clinton Administration had more than one opportunity to kill or capture Osama. Why is it that or American government didn’t act on the situation before it became a major one? They say think twice before your actions but we would never knew that we would had to tell the government that. If the Clinton Administration had toke charger of what they knew and seen YES!!! We could of stop 9/11 dead in its tracks.

When did terrorism began?


Terrorism has been going on for many years. It goes way back in time from when Lincoln was president. So if you believed that terrorism started on Sept 11th, 2001 sorry but you’re wrong. Terrorism was only fully noticed by all Americans after Sept 11th. It’s a shame to see that our country have to go through something like that to realize what else is going on in this world of ours.
It all started off in Israel when Germany gave them the holy land. The Philistines were outraged and mad that Germany gave up the land to Israel. The Philistines felt that the land belong to them and they would do whatever they have to do to get the land. The Philistines has always been losing but they won’t give up because they feel that the land rightfully belongs to them. The war between the two groups has been going on for decades and many more to come. The Philistines has been losing so much that they toke a new approach and change their names to the Palestine’s. This makes them feel that they have a better chance at winning. The new name give the Palestine’s the impression that they are new to the war which gives them a new slate and which mean they didn’t lose as yet. If the Palestine’s do ever win America has a big problem to face.
