News & Events - January 2007

I think about 9/11 every day. I'm sure that most people do, because every single living day in America is another threat from terrorists. I think that Bush made the wrong decision 4 years ago to invade Iraq, because Iraq wasn't the problem or the country Osama bin Laden was in, anyway. I do feel bad for the 9/11 victims, though, but America needs 2 move on. Last year, my history teacher made a comment about Iraq that was semi-harsh. Here's what she said," You guys will never leave Iraq...as long as u guys live in here (in America,) u guys will be stuck in Iraq forever..." Sounds like a recent John Kerry comment, doesn't it? Anyway, I thought it was a bit harsh, but in a way, true to the bone. Plus, my former history teacher was "always right, and got her way, and nobody was gonna to change her mind." What do u think? Was my former history teacher right, or is Iraq screwed forever?

but these terrorist are not Muslims but most likely Hindus. The word terrorist not used for them because the media reserved the word for Muslims. These people are called rebels. Why do you think that in this news the assailants were not called terrorists.

Parts of the city, like the historic French Quarter, were built above sea level and have been there for hundreds of years. The rest of it is a murderous cesspool. Who in their right minds is in favor of dumping money down that below-sea-level rathole? Who is the idiot that issues the building permits for below-sea-level dwellings anyway? New Orleans is an embarassment to America.

Bet this is really un p.c but why are people so upset by the jeering at Saddams hanging? This is a man who personally hurled a man into a vat of boiling acid, and who ordered the death of thousands of innocents. He died according to the laws he passed... He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.... same goes for Bush and Blair btw... I'm ashamed about voting for Labour in '97.

What do you about the current worries about Iran? Is it possibly just a smoke screen for more pressing problems in the world. Who thinks that the next country to possess nuclear/chemical weapons will be a complete surprise?

Prophet cartoon protest leader found guilty of inciting murder! (Head lines Daily Mail 6/01/07). Umran Javed, 27, was filmed using a loud hailer to chant 'Bomb, Bomb USA outside the Danish embassy in London. Family and friends screamed 'Allah Akbar, curse the judge, curse the court, curse the jury' as the verdict was given.

Outside court, Anjem Choudary, a former spokesman for Al Muhajiroan, said "This is a failure of capitalism, of democracy and the freedom of speech. Muslims are treated as second class citizens."

I'm writing a research paper on Vietnam Vets and how they were treated when they returned from the war. Also how some of them were unable to cope with their old lives when they came home. Does anyone know of any good articles or books on the subject?

Child labour is a persistent problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries. Child labor is especially common in rural areas where the capacity to enforce minimum age requirements for schooling and work is lacking. Children work for a variety of reasons, the most important being poverty. Though children are not well paid, they still serve as major contributors to family income in developing countries.. Schooling problems also contribute to child labor, whether it is the inaccessibility of schools or the lack of quality education.

An estimated 246 million are engaged in child labour. Of those, almost three quarters work in hazardous conditions such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. The jobs can include working in factories, mining, agriculture, helping their parents, tourist guides or in sweatshops. Most of these children are forced into slavery, into prostitution and pornography, also into participating in armed conflict and illicit activities.

My dreams have always led me to want to work for a newspaper as an investigative journalist. But lately everything seems to be ran over the wire. I really like copy editing but now theres spell check. Is the journalism field slowly dieing out? Is there any hope for me to still be able to pursue my dreams and become a journalist?
