Korea and it's issues pt. 2

The south Korean foreign minister says that north kora might have done this to distract from other issues that it has.
South Korea plans on using this action to economically hurt north Korea and stop all flows of money in north Korea.
The old leader of north Korea is growing weaker so now his third son, kim Jong-un, is planning on taking over the throne soon. The world knows little to nothing about his son and are afraid of the future when he comes to take the throne.

Korean Issues

South Korea thinks that the sinking of their ship was by a North Korean submarine and that it was planned by internal Pyongyang politics. North Korea keeps denying their involvement. The South Korean Foreign Minister says that North Korea might have done this to distract everyone from other issues that it has.
South Korea plans on using this action to economically hurt North Korea and stop all flows of money in North Korea.
The old leader of North Korea is growing weaker so now his third son, Kim Jong-un, is planning on taking over the throne soon. The world knows little to nothing about this son and are afraid of the future when he comes to have the throne.

I think that maybe South Korea needs to look into things with the ship sinking a little bit more because they shouldn’t just jump into situations like this that could lead to disaster. Also I don’t know about this soon to be ‘new ruler’ although everyone knows little about him too but I think we shouldn’t worry so much yet since they say he attended college in Switzerland and knows English quite well. Maybe he’ll be smart enough to make up his own decisions on the world and in North Korea.

American Citizen *Video*

Muslims talk about being an american citizen and what it means. plus their opinions about it.
The Muslim Americans know who they are and what others generally think of their overview which is sad. The muslim extremists have been making a bad name for them and have been causing Americans to think that Muslims and Arabs in general are all terrorists. It's sad and horrible that we, America, let our vision be clouded by what little we see and we don't take into concoderation that these people aren't the only races/cultures/religions with extremists.
The people of America should try to be more open minded but also at the same time we shouldn't become weak with our thinking because those terrorists could get past us and cause more trouble for us.

Peace For a Day *Documentary*

Today we watched this video about this guy who wanted to make a day where the world could be at peace and it seemed to be like a crazy topic to talk about and no one wanted to really help. Looking around he only found actresses and actorels who wanted to help which was beneficial but probibly took longer then if he had politician friends. It took him a while to get the day passed but he managed.
I think it's sad that people don't even want to stop for one day out of 365 days a year for peace when it would clearly be helpful and even beneficial to all not to mention a good way to help kids.
