Osama bin Laden, the crisis in Darfur, the war in Iraq, or anything else you are interested in. Keep your comments appropriate for a school discussion and know that I will read what you write.

  10. 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 agree on the blog and i think the war in irac is a inportant subject

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

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yeh. Really. They shouldn't be attacking sivilians. I agree with all of you guys(gals!).The car bombs are crazy,as well.

  16. osama is a crazy nut and is suposivly dead. but car bombings and attacks keep on happening. thats crazy! the people need to just get along. so does Darfur.the governement needs to stop shooting people. and the chiniese also nees to stop shiping weapons over there.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I agree with every one.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  21. i agree with you nate it is true.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh, ya, and the crisis in Darfur is horrible because inoccent civillians(thank you for the word ed) are being murdered and driven out of their homes. :'''[

  24. I now that ed and spencer rocks

    ReplyDelete
  25. I agree with Sammie on how Darfur needs help.

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. 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

    ReplyDelete
  29. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  31. 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!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. 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!

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

    ReplyDelete
  34. It is crase in iraq.

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ali, that is a very mature thing to say(because of course you are)and i aree. I think every one should do that!

    ReplyDelete
  37. The war in Iraq is going well thats what Pres.Bush says about 30,000 troops well be coming back to U.S.A.

  38. I also think that The snake protecting the shoes was CRAZY!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  40. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  42. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I thought dog that cod clime trees was cool.

    ReplyDelete
  44. 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

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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).

    ReplyDelete
  46. I feel so bad for the little boy that got his face burned off!!! :(

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  61. i agree with austin we should just nuke the place

    ReplyDelete
  62. I agree with the rules

    ReplyDelete
  63. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Why do people have to be so mean for no reason other than power!?

    ReplyDelete
  65. i agree with fortino i hate bush

    O-O Bunnies are CUTE!!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I understand the Iraq people wanting us to have their religion or to not be here but why don't they just ignore us?(instead of killing us)

    ReplyDelete
  71. I disagree with Brandon.

    ReplyDelete
  72. fortino is right i hate bush

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  75. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I like things that go boom but not things that kill people

    ReplyDelete
  77. I like things that go boom but not things that kill people

    ReplyDelete
  78. I think the trops have been in Iraq

    ReplyDelete
  79. I agree with u dallas.

    ReplyDelete
  80. people are cruel in iraq

    ReplyDelete
  81. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  83. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I do think they should put their differences aside.

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

    ReplyDelete
  86. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Yeh. I def. agree with Kiara

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

    ReplyDelete
  89. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  90. 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

    ReplyDelete
  91. 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...

    ReplyDelete
