Libya

On Saturday, the U.S. president authorized more than 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack Libya. The missiles were sent to hopefully prevent Moammar Gadhafi from having a UN backed no-fly zone. The operation was called International Military Operation. Obama said that these attacks were to protect the Libyan people.

I beg to differ with Obama's statment. I think that the bombings will end up backfiring on our country and a war will break out. I think that the U.S. should have stayed out of the Libyan's buisness and let their country fend for themselves. We have our own problems in our world that we need to worry about. Obama may have made a huge mistake, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens..

strict rules in Japan lead to the delay of US rescue teams helping

Rescue teams from the United States were sent to Japan to help with the search for anyone, but were delayed by the Japanese law of dogs being brought into their country. I believe that in such cases like this natural disaster country's should allow law bends to help benefit their country. It's not like were bringing in deadly infected dogs into their country. The dogs are part of the rescue search team, and without the dogs it will take the rescue team longer and harder to find the victims. Therefore, the victims will have less time trying to survive, but with the dogs more victims could be rescued in a shorter amount of time. "There are many rules here. So it's taking a long time," a member of the Swiss team told ABC News.com. The United States is trying to help as much as they can, but with the Japanese many rules it is taking a longer time to rescue these victims.
