...i'm finally done with my recast!

It feels so good to know i'm done writing my recast, i really worked hard on it and i hope it's good enough to get an A!

..RECAST?

Does anyone know if we email him the recasts or something because i'm confused! And it was presentations start tomorrow, is it going to be random?

.....music puts me in a good mood!

After a long day of work, i get home and find out i have even more work to do but i turn up my music and i don't mind doing work....but ey maybe its just me!

.....my first year of college is almost over!

It seems like yesterday when the school year began, and in a couple of weeks its going to come to an end! I'm excited but then next year is going to be even more work, but atleast i'm closer to grad school!

....im not quite sure how i feel about this Osama issue!

When i heard that Osama bin Laden was dead i didnt know whether to be sad or happy, because i was confused what that would mean for the United States. Is the war really over? Is Osama really dead?

I don't have answers to these questions, but won't there be more hate towards the U.S from Arabs now that Osama is dead?

I feel that now that the leader for terrorism is dead all the people underneath him will be power hungry and just start a wild massacre to to see who is more powerful. I mean we have been chasing him for years, and finally we got him and then threw him in the sea?? It might actually be a tactic of Osama i mean maybe i watch to many action movies and i'm over thinking this but he could actually pop up in the nearest future! I don't know where the U.S is heading, and i don't think anyone does but i pray to GOD that better things will come from this...

...recast proposal?

So im kinda confused as to what the difference btw a recast proposal n a recast is??

...this week has been very hectic

Finally posted my critique to secs before the due date! Procrastination with a hint of the flu= last minute paper!

....playlist 2...

1) No gray by Jonathan McReynolds- this song is one of my favs! He talks about people being confused, decisions making, and how you can't be in the middle, its either you're here or there. Which relates to the position the United States is at the minute confused on what side to take.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXMnHu3_2s8

2) Fire on the mountain by Asa- its a very calm song but yet the words in the lyrics are so real! She says we need peace, no more war, we are tired of people standing around doing nothing when they can see clearly that there is trouble everywhere.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8cwIkSPFhE&feature=related

3)I'm your angel by Celine Dion ft R.kelly- an all time fav! It relates to my topic because it talks about someone lending a helping hand to you when you're in need and other nations are trying their best to help the Libyans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nAL3krkCSE

4) Chasing pavements by Adele-  "should i give up or should i just keep chasing pavements even it leads nowhere or would it be a waste?" I am pretty sure the United States is contemplating getting involved and are having seconds doubts about the war.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwTMyjTNBM8&feature=related

5) Irreplaceable by Beyonce- i remembered this song and it really weird how Libya came to my mind cause they literally telling their president to go away which is basically what the whole song is about.

THE UNITED STATES CONTRIBUTION TO THE WAR IN LIBYA

     Civil war has been a reoccurring event over the years, but has recently struck Libya. Military colonel Gadhafi, leader of the Libyans for over forty years, has been challenged by the people of Libya. They are demanding that he resign his current position, because their country is in need of a democracy. Gadhafi refused to step down, but instead ordered a massacre on the civilians who opposed him. The president of The United States of America has reached out to President Gadhafi requesting that he stop killing innocent civilians but to no avail. The United States was forced to eject all Americans, and install a no fly zone on Libya. The participation of The United States of America in the war at Libya is a debatable issue.

     The United States involvement in the war at Libya has been a major concern over the last couple of months. President Obama’s reason for interest in the war at Libya is being suspected. Times magazine indicated that Hilary Clinton questioned the motive behind Obama’s need for intervention in Libya if regime change was not on his list of “non- negotiable” terms. On the Cable Network News, Congressman Ron Paul voiced his view towards Obama’s involvement in the war at Libya. He said Obama should have consulted congress before launching an attack on Libya, and insisted that America doesn’t have either the funds or the authority to mediate the war at Libya. The national journal claimed that Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments insinuated that The United States would increase in deficit regardless of the outcome of the war in Libya. He continued to claim that the congress would not be in support of Obama’s action as their main goal is to decrease the current deficit.

    Although, there has been a reasonable amount of doubts concerning The United States involvement in the war at Libya, Obama’s decision to mediate the war has also been supported.  Voice of America news claims that Obama’s launching of missiles in Libya was act to protect the population from Gadhafi. Congressman McCain was interviewed on Cable Network News, and he defended Obama’s decision to intervene in Libya calling it an “act of leadership”.

    Leadership to various communities means defending the vulnerable against prejudice. In general, the main concern of both the supporters of the war in Libya and contradictors of the war is about protection from the government.
