Current Events - August 2007

Hey there

I am doing a social studies project on terrorism and its impact on american society and would appreciate if some people would answer these six quick questions. it should only take about 1-2 minutes. Thanks alot

1. Are you more aware of terrorism than you were before the 9/11 attacks
2. Are you now more afraid to board a plane than you were before the 9/11 attacks
3. Do you now view western Asians differently than you would, and how? E.g. more suspiciously, more discriminately
4. How do you view the Muslim religion and Muslim followers? More aware, Don’t like them all, don’t like the extremists, wipe them all out?
5. Do you feel the security levels in the USA against Terrorism are adequate or do they need to set them Higher or Are they already a bit too high.
6. Are there any comments you would like to add about the effect of terrorism in your country?
7. What is your main emotion you feel about the terrorist regime?

A few questions, Why did mrs mccann state at the weekend, no matter even if madelline is found safe and well, that did she not want ever to return to the family home in the UK as it held so many unhappy memories there. What unhappy memories did the family home hold then what was she referring to: Why if there daughter is found safe and well why did she not want to go home to the happy secure family home in the UK that they had before they went to portugal. Mrs. McCann stated this in the interview. Surely the only unhappy place she has known is the apartment in portugal or it seems this is not the case. Kate gave something away at the weekend unwittingly and not thinking. The McCanns keep trying to portray happy families then shoot themselves in the foot. You´d think she would want nothing more than to return home with their daughter safe and well and tucked up in her own bed. But not according to the interview

Portugese Police must face facts that the vast majority of such crime is committed by someone who knew the person.

Why has it taken so long for the Portugese Police to ask for help with specialist equipment - like the sniffer dog that detected and located blood spots in the apartment?

It seems they just went with the media and family's idea that she was kidnapped and are now only just exploring other possibilities...

Isn't it clear now he is just becoming a scapegoat because there are basically no other leads?

I don't get this woman, why is she on the the front cover of these FASHION magazines looking all dolled up wearing designer labels to do an interview about her missing daughter, do the publicists think that if they get her wearing these clothes people will buy them?? or has she forgotten her focus, and where is mr mcCann on these interviews?

Would the crime have been solved by now. Would the McCanns have been arrested for neglect.

Please read the all the questions.
Once Iran's government acquires nuclear weapons, what do you believe will happen? Which countries would want and try to develop nuclear weapons? What do you believe Iran's relations will be with Pakistan (the only country so far to have developed nuclear weapons in the middle east besides Israel)? Pakistan got the weapons after the Pakistani government gave Abdul Qadeer Khan (A.Q. Khan), a nuclear plant worker the full rights to get a nuclear weapon however he could. He is considered a hero in Pakistan, but to the West powers he and his organization are criminals. How do you think Saudi Arabia would take the news? What would happen if Iran helped their ally, Syria, to gain nuclear weapons? How would this affect Iraq, and the war that is continuing there (if there is still a war there when Iran gains their weapons)? Do you think Hezbollah would be given small samples of nuclear weapons, like dirty bombs, or not? Thanks for all those who answer!

Us 0zzy's always get called 'convicts' especially when the pommie cricketers come over, don't get me wrong, I ove all of the banter that goes on between us both.
But.... My family aren't related to any convicts, we came out here in 1966 so all of my blood is actually Pommie!
Isn't there something else you guys could call us 0zzy's other than convicts because it doesn't really insult us!

we never hear anyone talking about all the people who can barely afford to get to work as it is and now it is getting so bad that people are only working to be able to fill up their tanks to get back to work and can barely live from day to day? I am sick of the rich getting richer and the middle and lower classes being left behind. we are turning into a third world country and no one is willing to do anything about it.
companies leave the USA to get cheap labor and so it is even hard to find a job today. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD AND CAN DO?

Do you think this was a bit harsh? As parents, I think this type of deterrent should only be used as a last resort - what do you think?
