A VIEW ON IRAQ

(1.) his idea on iraq is that it has many beautiful places and that its not just a dry arid desert. He also sees that the people finnally feel free when saddam is dead.
The views of the common american differ drastically. The common american picture iraq as a horrible hell hole and that the people hate our guts.

(2.) Mr. Wongs tone during this article is hopeful yet dark and foreboding. The reason for such tone is that he sees the pain and suffering in iraq while also seeing the beautiful landscape.

(3.)His purpose in writing this article is that he wants to let the american people know how it really is over there in iraq. hes being informative while expressing his feelings on the war.

(4.) In rumis poem its very dark and contrasting to Mr. Wongs paragraph. Rumis view is that the war is total and thoroughly corrupting the iraqi people. Mr. Wongs view is that Iraq is a beautiful place that has had a lot of pain and suffering over the last 5 years. he also sees that the people feel free for the first time in almost two decades.

New Years Resolution

This new years resolution I plan to eliminate my skipping habbits and to join the football team. I also pledge to start bringing my grades up and make them stay up. A lot of my problem in my earlier years was that I had no future in mind but now i do.

liberal vs. conservitive

I am in fact very liberal. I prefer changes in many things. In religion i believe that all religion should be allowed and that all people should have more personal freedom. I am very tolerant of foreiners and other such races and peoples. In actuallity i am a very open minded person.
I am not at all conservitive. I loathe the thought of people being so pompous and resisting to change and reform. I hate the fact that most of todays leaders are conservitive and that people choose money and personal gain over helping your fellow man.

global warming

I believe now that global warming is a threat and that we should try and reverse it. The atmosphere is holding more gasses than it has in human history. It works like a green house, it traps gasses inside the atmosphere without letting it out, therefore it is making the earths temperature rise dramatically. There are five greenhouse gasses and they are, water vapor,carbon dioxide,methane,nitrous oxide, and ozone. they all occur natrually but human kind has been releasing these gasses at a much higher rate than nature can eliminate them.
There are many misconceptions about how global wraming is happening, if at all.
The first misconception is that its not a problem,that it will not affect the human race. The real fact is that it is real and that it will affect us. some data to prove this is that hurricane strength increasing, ocean temperature and and levels are rising, even temperature records are being broken. Another false fact is that these changes are normal. The actual fact is that such rapid change is not normal. Data to prove this fact is that research has shown that such changes should take thousands of years, not decades.
