Current Event 1/31/13: The Syrian Crisis

Current Event

This current event is about the countries turning against Syria. Syria is concerned about where the U.S. aid is going. The U.S. has given $210 million in aid to Syria, but people are wondering where the help is coming from. The regime is going after and killing people who are delivering the supplies.

I think this is bad because the U.S. is just trying to help. Some of our people could get killed if they find us delivering supplies to Syria. Maybe we shouldn't be helping them because it puts us at risk.

Current Event 1/24/13: Libya threatens to spawn more unrest in North Africa

This article is about Libya wanting to cause more trouble between North Africa and themselves. They started to get out of control with their weapons. This led them to Mali, Sinai, and even out to the Lebanese coast.

I think it is a bad idea. Why would a country want to start revolting with neighbor countries? I think this will just start to get Libya into trouble, and this could turn bad against them in the end.
