May 4, 2011
This article explains that Osama Bin Laden did achieve many of the goals that he wanted to obtain, and more. He led us into a prolonged war and created a global fear of muslims. In the end however he didnt win and the U.S. still remained a main power and thrives today.

U.S. officials state that they have the body of Osama Bin Laden, which is a huge win for the united states because he has been the main face of terror and the leader behind many terrorist plots. he was also seen as a prophet to his followers. Terrorism will still continue although, but it did have a blow on terror.

My view of the discussion on thursday was that we talked about some good topics and there wasn't much yelling. Over all it went pretty much how i expected it too. I wish we had more time to talk about immigration because its a big topic and its something that needs to get fixed to improve peoples lives. Immigration isnt a small problem that can easily be fixed but i'm we can come up with a better solution then what we're doing right now. I also believe that improving mexico and their relations with the U.S. would be a huge improvement

Several thousands of Yemen civilians took to the streets to protest their leader Ali Saleh. They were protesting their leader because he wasn't accepting a brokered deal by the gulf corporation council and wasnt going to step down. Protestors were attacked and badly injured, and shot at by gunmen. Protestors in response set a car on fire that belonged to one of the attackers. Their leader had reportedly already agreed to the deal, and stepped down after though.

Japans nuclear pollution has officials in Japan worrying about the safety of its residents around a 20 km zone and they are starting to evacuate both animals and people from the area. This is a big change for the people living there and im the people arent very happy because they are forced to leave their area and go to an unfamiliar one. On the other hand, the people will be alot safer and won't be affected by the long term affects of nuclear pollution in the coming years.

Japans radioactive workers have began dumping tons of water into the Pacific Ocean. They have started doing this in response the the high levels of radioactivity that continues to grow from the earthquake that ruptured the buildings that contained the nuclear energy. They have done this to reduce the radioavtive water in Japan. I dont think that this is very good for the ocean though. This could have a negative effect on the creatures that live there but specifics are still uncertain on the whole occassion.

Although with all of the world looking at Japan, stocks in the U.S. have dropped and Japans also have due to their disaster. In all this is not good for either country and the disaster has hurt more than just Japan. Hopefully things will be back on track soon though.

Class Discussion
I thought that the class discussion today on the topic of the mosque being built in New York was a great discussion. It brought up many new thoughts on the proposition of this mosque. Although my view on this subject stayed the same, i learned alot that i did not know previously about the building of this mosque. There is no clear answer to this problem though, but conversing and discussing helps us clear up the reasons why people are for, or against the building. I liked the fact that our class had different opinions, which led to more learning. In the beginning, i felt that a big part of the class was going to be against the building of the mosque, due to the fact that many Americans are sensitive to what happened during 911, when what ended up happening was a not this. My classmates brought in good information and view points which made for a riveting discussion.

It's nice to see that we can all have a good, educated discussion and not go off on each other if we disagree. I also feel that these discussions are a great way for us to learn, and get our opinions out there.
