American Foreign Policy With Iran

When reading about the problems in Iran, I truly feel concerned. Iran is being suspected for the production of nuclear weapons. It is believed that Iran has been spending their money on the production of nuclear weapons, so in effort to stop them, the U.S. and the European union has been trying to cut off Iran from the international financial system. The international financial system basically provides money to countries in need. By cutting off their money, they believe it will prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons. This a huge pressing issue because if a country like Iran has nuclear weapons, they can threaten other countries. The United States and Iran do not have the strongest relationship, so people fear that Iran will take advantage of their nuclear weapons, and use them against the United States. This is the problem that needs to be taken care of.

American Foreign Policy With Afghanstian

For years now, the United States has been and fighting in Afghanistan. The war in the middle east is  a very controversial one; a lot of people are for the war while many are against it. Currently, the ongoing problem is when the troops currently stationed are coming home. There are about 90,000 troops still in Afghanistan, while 22,000 of them are expected to return home in fall of 2012, but the rest are expected to be out of there by 2014. This issue is so controversial because people truly believe that being allies and helping Afghanistan with their problems is important because in the long run, they would be able to help us out due to the large amount of natural resources that they have. Others believe that what is going on in Afghanistan is none of our business, and we should leaven them to their own problems and worry about our own problems. I on the other hand am neutral about this topic. Yes they have resources, but they should deal with their own problems and we should stay out of their business.

Wounded Knee: Part 3

Teresa Howard Dean was a reporter who covered the story of The Battle of Wounded Knee. She missed the actual battle, but witnessed the pain and misery following the aftermath. She wrote "The killing of Indian children at Wounded Knee was most pitiful, "[But] the killing of the squaws was as just as it was unavoidable." Although she didn't see the war, she still felt the pain, and she could see how badly the Indian's suffered. Many other repoters attempted to stage scenes to impress their editors, and Dean tried, but many repoters at the time were males and did not like the fact of a female reporter.

Wounded Knee: Part 2

The Battle of Wounded Knee rests at the bend of Wounded Knee River. Immediately following the battle, a mass grave was dug to hold the bodies of the fallen. At the top of the hill, behind the church is a cemetery where a grave about 80 feet long and surrounded and marked with a giant cross to represent those who died in the battle of Wounded Knee. The monument reads "This monument is erected by surviving relatives and other Ogallala and Cheyenne River Sioux Indians in Memory of the Chief Big Foot Massacre Dec. 29, 1890". Creating a monument was a good idea, it truly honored those who died in the battle even though they died for no real purposed.
