The 'youngest headmaster in 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.

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. Quote:

So it is both a volunteer army and not so volunteer as well. Quote:

They aren't, but honestly, there are more Americans closer to her point of view than to the views of people like Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh than people on the right would have you believe. Really most Americans fall somewhere in between.

U.S. ambassador intends to speak to Obama about visit to Hiroshima
Quote:
Over in the United States and other parts of the world, there seems to be some angst over Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize as if he doesn't deserve it and should rejected it. Perhaps, not everybody supports world denuclearization. Supposedly, it is actually quite costly to have two cities hosting the Olympics together due to travel expenses but the fact that the two cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki represent the anti-nuclear front, this is actually a great idea! |

We don't have governors. Or anything like it. But if we did, the position Junior's running for would be way lower.
Not that it isn't blatant nepotism, or that we couldn't find someone qualified by entering any office building and grabbing someone at random, but. Last edited by Anh_Minh; 2009-10-13 at 16:40. |

Most of the blame resides on Obama and the democratically controlled house and senate since 2006!
See: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...nt_obamas.html and See: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...id=a7mHS_OEluf If the rePubs are guilty of anything, its not pushing the Dems HARDER on what the heck was wrong with Freddie and Fannie back when the Dems were denying anything was wrong. Congress passes legislation, congress has the responsibility to oversee the fed. That's been a democrat congress for three years now |

Please get out of your fantasy world... this thing took 25 years to build to the current disaster starting with Don Reagan. Plenty of blame on both bought-n-paid-for parties.

Another thing is the same people saying this is terrible are likely the same ones who complain about so much US debt being in foreign hands. I guess there's just no way to win. Though debating this with autobachs, I've been on this ride before. I don't care to go again.

Autobachs,
I think you need to pick a newspaper or going to a news website (not Fox News) and research it before blame it on the Democrats and our president. The fallout was years in the making, all the signs were there but nobody put a stop to it, people got way more greed and that is the result of it. http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/2...-the-collapse/ alittle bit research to help you on your way. It was a Equal Opportunity Fault on everybody, but you cant place all blame on Democrats, atleast they are trying to fixed that problem, but it is going to take awhile to fix everything.
