Other Countries

Topic 2: To continue topic 1, discuss how bad things going on in other countries affect us.

Well I wish I could answer this with more insight as to what's going on in other countries. I feel like I'm really in the dark with current affairs when it goes beyond what's going on with the death of Michael Jackson. I'm so buried in class work, working and trying to take care of a 10 year old and a 7 year old that I really don't have a lot of time to keep up.

I can tell you that I think we're silly to leave our troops in the middle east. I think we should have brought them home years ago. I feel like George W simply wanted to finish what his dad started. I feel like all of our efforts were devoted to Saddam; while Bin Laden, the real threat, is still out there. That just doesn't make much sense to me.

I think the country we should fear is China.. It appears to be the only country that would pose a threat to the US.

Wish I could give you more but I don't know much about foreign affairs.

Until next week,
Marcy B.
