Actually it never occurred to me that any American would talk sense like her. Hopefully most of the Americans are in sync with what she says.

Regarding the troops in Afghanistan, it is actually a good thing that they are there, it gives the terrorists a larger front to fight against and derails their attention from the developing world without having to fear for religious terrorism. As far as I know, almost all the military operators in Afghanistan are volunteers, Marines are one time, Special Forces (including UKSAS, JTF2, etc) are two time, and Rangers are three. After US is financially and militarily exhausted, it is up to China (and the rest of the world) to clean up the last bit of mess there.

I think it is time the rest of the world stop leaving all the difficult issues, especially military conflicts to US. Just go in to help out already and stop criticising US's attempt to spread its "imperialism" across the world.

Now this a great story. The kid only 16 but is teaching 800 students at his school despite the lack of necessary funding or materials needed and he does it all for free.
This story makes me happy knowing there still good people despite how harsh our world is.
It is actually great that he is volunteering to teach his young neighbours, but if he is going to teach them anything about religious radicalism, I would certainly support his hanging from his tree.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
