New Information Emerges On Hunt for Bin Laden

Do you believe that we should stop the hunt for Bin Laden, even though he deserves everything that would come to him if he was caught? Some seem to see that it is actually causing more short-term and long-term problems along with and extreme number of deaths of American solders. Western intelligence agencies were able to form a detailed grasp of Osama Bin Laden's movements in the years after 9/11; and have come closer to capturing him than anyone else has ever before. Even though this has been stated, U.S. intelligence agencies do not agree with the fact that Bin Laden might be captured soon, They stated that very little light on Bin Laden's movements in the recent years have been known of. On this past Friday, President Obama stated that even though we have not caught Bin LAden al Qaeda has been holed up in ways that it has made them very hard to operate. He also said that Bin Laden has gone deep underground and even lower people of Al Qaeda have been harder to find then ever before. Since the Allie forces seem to have a better grasp on his movements these past few years and seem to be more positive in the capture of Bin Laden, should American forces lay away and let the Allies capture him while we seek military missions what we have more of a chance in succeeding in and making change? What is more important? Is one more important over the other? Is all of this worth the possibility of even more terrorism or more disturbance of the Middle East?

In one day, two asteroids buzz the Earth!!???

Most people are thinking of political, public, and personal problems but there is one huge problem that does not cross peoples minds everyday but should. On this past Wednesday two small asteroids passed within the moon's distance from the earth. These two asteroids were only about 12 hours apart from each other. The first asteroid which was estimated to be 32 to 65 feet in diameter, passed within 154,000 miles of earth and the second was seen to be about 20 to 46 feet in diameter which passed within 49,088 miles of earth. Luckily both of these asteroids were caught three days prior on sunday. Seen through calculations, it was determined that these asteroids would not hit earth and if it were to do so would not break through the crust and only give a bit of a light show. But, what if? What if there was an asteroid that was not spotted in time that we could do anything to prevent it, what if it were traveling at twice the speed and twice the size, what would we do? I am not saying that political matters and solutions should not be worried about and forgotten, but i do think that more money and research should be put into NASA and other world space associations to come up with preventions if an asteroid were to be directed right towards earth, along with ways of spotting these asteroids in a more efficient accurate matter. I mean think about it if an asteroid hit earth there would not be any more political matters or money problems to be thought about, world as we know it could and defiantly probably would be over. Now do you think the money and time is worth it?

Clinton Speech Offers Policy Overview

In this article Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton is criticized for her arrogant description of the United States at the Council on Foreign Relations this past Wednesday. During a speech that was intended to highlight the Obama administration's success in foreign policy, Clinton stated that "The United States can, must, and will lead in this new century." We are in a time when US partnership with other nations is crucial but Clinton seems to be sending the message that American leadership is more important. The class expressed that one of the most significant issues facing America today is its wavering status as the world leader. The fact that our leaders feel the need to reassert the world so blatantly of our power does nothing but undermine that power.
