Why Washington Worries.

Foreign relations are so difficult because many people accross the world have been against the united states administration. When i say administration i mean when Bush was in office. When former president bush was in office he led our country into disaster. the reason we are in teh econimic crisis that we are, is becuase of him. Other countries have had hard times deciding whether to work with us due to his bad presidency. the middle east, most of them are completely against us. they dont want us over there, they dont want us to be helping them. but according to Bush we needed to be over there, we needed to bring on a war between us. He s the reason we have a hard such a hard time with foreign relations.
I beleive that Obama should keep on trying to change our foreign policies. He has only been in office for a couple months. and he has already made abig difference in our country. He is trying to pull out troops in iraq, and thinks that it will be a good idea that we pull out slowly in order to bruing peace and help the middle east. he is trying to make our country a better, more effective country with many canges in store for us. With Obama in office, i believe that our country will be better with the war in iraq. he is helping us wih the progression of this war, and our administration is a better one now than 8 years ago.

stem cell research article

i dont think that the states should have to right to oppose stem cell research. Due to all the people who are anti and pro stem cell, just make it a law throughout the nation to ban it. i think that the study and research of it is just a waste especially if once u retrieve the embryo, it dies. i dont full yunderstand the whole reason for this. but i do know that if its going to make this big of a mess of things, then why allow it in the first place. the stem cell research is an ongoing process and i dont understand why people make such a big deal out of it.

Newspaper Publisher McClatchy Cuts 1600 Jobs

What I think what will happen to Newspapers in teh future, is that they will eventually fail all together. The way it looks now, with teh company having to make all those pay cuts and laying people off. The company wont be able to make it much longer with all those people gone, and having to down size so much. i get my news from watching news channel 7, i dont always watch it but when i have the time i usually do. i jsut dont really have the time the read the paper, or watch teh news really. I usually end up hearing whats going on in the world from my mom, or teachers and friends. I think i will miss newspapers, i think they are the last things we have from the past with the internet now and everything becoming high speed, and more high tech. I will miss them because when i do have the time to read the paper, i like to sit down and enjoy it. i read everything in it. and Where online or anyplace else will i be able to read the funnies?
