whats happening in the congo right now is just sick. there is so much violence and terror. the worst part is that is that the rebels use rape as a tool of war. women must live in fear that at any day they will be violated. its not just rape though, they mutilate age mangle the bodies. this the worst form of scare tactics. the world needs to step up and help this dying nation. if no one helps, the congo will keep falling into a hole until there is no hope left for them. there is still a chance that the people of the congo can leave that hell hole. the rebels just use rape to break people. we must act, we cannot turn our back on these people, they need our help and it is our resposibility. some may say its not our responsibily but it is, this is a plague on the world that must be stopped or it will pread to more countries until it takes the world. it may seem like taht could never happen but you never know.

Syrian Blogger

I dont even know where to start if i had the chance to write to a Syrian citizen living in a conflict zone. I dont even know where to start. I guess i would have to start with asking him or her if they are okay more like are they surviving.  Then i would ask them where they live and who controls the area. i would also like to know what their reason is to stay where they are and why they risk their lives to blog about their country. i dont know if i would be able to do that. i wouldnt ask for names because i feel like the govornment would be survaying blogging sites. At the end i would thank them for all their help and information and tell them to stay safe, hopfully they will be able to blog about peace insted of war.

Foreign policy debate

Wow. That was a crazy final debate. Half the time, no one was even talking about foreign policy. The attacks on each other we're much less than in the other debates. Obama used a lot of humor to put down Romney's policies and for the most part it did work. Both did have the tendency to talk more about domestic policy than foreign in my opinion and the opinion of the students that voted, President Obama won that debate. This campaign has been all about attacking the opponent instead of trying to connect with the America people. I am still excited to see how the election turns out.

Nuclear Iran and red lines

I believe the world is on edge with I ran is because they are the wild card, no one knows what they will do if the develop nuclear weapons. Iran has expressed how much they hate users and how they want to wipe it off the face of the earth. Until Iran gets a new mind set, no one will want them to have nuclear capabilities. In my opinion if one country has them then they don't have the right to tell another that can't. The only time is if one country is threatening another, this is the case with Iran. If I was president my red line would be if Iran made I direct threat to using their nuclear weapons on the US or Israel. But I would have no problem with Iran using nuclear energy the power their country.

Revolution is cyberspace

The Internet is one of the best ways for young Iranians to connect with each other and the rest of the world. Internet is the most used thing in our day and age so could imagine how people would feel if it is taken away. No matter how much the government tries to cut them off, the youth will find a way to let the world know what is happening. I really don't think it's right that any government should restrict the people's way to get knowledge. Like in china, the people of Iran are in the dark. The government is trying to freeze them out. But the Iranian youth know better and are fighting back. I believe that one day the Internet will be the fall of the Iranian regime
