I had never hear of the crisis in Darfur until watching the current events in class. It was pretty scary hearing about it and it had been going on for such a long time. I wonder why I had never heard of the crisis before?

I think it is cool how on 9/11 {not the attacking} but how the twins were born on the same day.

I think that what's happening in Iraq is going too far to nowhere. The car bombs are a scary thing, and its very crazy.

I agree with every one.

I think that it is also very scary w/ Osama bin Laden because no one knows where he is and he could be planning another terrorist attack on America or another inocent country.

Anonymous said...

Yeh. Kiara i forgot about the twins born on 9/11, that was pretty cool too! While everyone is sad on that day, atleast somebody has a reason to celebrate.

I agree with Sammie on how Darfur needs help.

Anonymous said...

I think the things that are happening in Iraq and Darfur aren't things that are good at all. The U.S. believes that the 9/11 attacks were led by Osama Bin Laden, I think that he should be found as soon as possible.

there are too many crisis in the world I think everyone should set aside their differences and work together.(but it may take a long time for people to figure out.)

I also think it is scary whats going on with Osama bin Laden because people don't know where he is, or if he is even alive!!! They also don't know if the video that was recently made was from ans imposter!!!1

China keeps shipping over weapons, and then saying its their fault and they dont have any responsiblity on what is going on over there. If so many people re dieing, then maybe they should stop being so selfish and stop selling weapons so that so many innocent people arn't getting killed. If they didn't sell the weapons, then their would be no weapons used to kill people, thus stopping the killing.

I agree with Nate,
why would China just keep on building to a war that is already bad enough?

Anonymous said...

Sammie, I think that not some country should help but I think that America should help becuase so many people are fleeing here from different countries and we should try to find out why their fleeing from their countries and we should help them!!!!

Anonymous said...

9/11 is a scary thing, but I agree with kiara. About the twins that were born that day, it's kind of cool. Many other people were born on that day too.. i'm guessing... and at least they have a reason to celebrate like mckenzie said!

I think it was interesting how a snake was guarding the 50,000 dollar shoes.

I thought it was so weird when that guy in the bullet proof vest was a reporter,the cool thing was you could see the two places at one time.

P.S. that guy must be really brave

Mrs. Kieth I think it was really sad how the little kid got burnt on his face. I am glad though that people are helping him.

Hopefully sooner or later we can create peace with Iraq because we are loosing lots and lots of (sole-j-ers) but in order to do so we need to pull it together

Anonymous said...

Alex, the hurricanes are SUPER BAD! kajillions of people are being killed! That would stink to live there.

Anonymous said...

i think that it is pretty funny having a snake guard 50,000 dollar shoes. I feel really bad for the people who live in Iraq with all the car bombs going on and ever min. they might be thinking that they might get bombed a get fired at. I would be really scared if i lived there.

I like watching the current events even though some things are really scary but by the end there is always something funny that makes you feel better

I think that everyone in Iraq must be brave(katelyn) beccause there's so much bad stuff going on all over the world(especially there).

I think that China should not be helping the enemy because they should be helping us. I also think that the war in Africa should stop and they should come and help us find Osama bin Laden so we can find him quicker and then we can send more of U.S. America soldiers home.

raise ur hand if you think we should send some troops home

Yeah and I kinda agree with Austin we might need to resort to nuke them...But what if the plan back-fires?

Anonymous said...

I think that the people in Iraq should stop suicide bombing because that doesn't help anyone in any way! I think it is stupid! People who are innocent are getting killed or hurt for no reason like the little kid that got his face burnt off!

I agree with Kylie. They won't leave us alone Kyla because it's against their religion, they thin we are evil and need to be eliminated. But still it's dumb that people sacrifice themselves for Bin Laden like that.

Anonymous said...

I like what Hayleigh is saying china shouldn't help...we don't have enough man-power to attack them too

Anonymous said...

I agree with Jesse and Kylie the troops should come home for a break and try to find him later. We are costing the lives of soldiers. But I also think that if the Africans can help us then we could go home and come back later and then give the other troops a break.

Anonymous said...

I do think they should put their differences aside.

I don't know wat to think of pres. Bush. I mean, he is bringing a lot of troops back, but.....

Anonymous said...

But with Osama Bin Laden out on the run pretty much, things are wacked out who knows we might have another attack on us soon.

Yeh. I def. agree with Kiara

I agree with Fortino, no one really knows for sure what is going to happen next with Bush in charge.

Anonymous said...

I think it was a wrong decision to re-elect Pres. Bush in 2004. He just isn't fit for the job! Pres. Bush is just looking out for the wrong number one... himself instead of the country.

Anonymous said...

Taysha and Kylie,
take a moment and think about the worst thing you've done to anyone. Now tell me how would you like that to happen to you! See you're fighting fire with fire and making it WORSE. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone should be forgiven for any horrible thing that they have done. Revenge is BAD

I think that it is cool that the boy who got burnt is grtting help, but what about everyone else who is crippled or hurt?? Cant we help them also??But...
