The Taleban
The Taleban or Taliban military group is an organization the appeared in 1996 and ruled many parts of Afghanistan and other neighbour countries until 2001. After that year the Taleban was overthrown by Operation Enduring Freedom. After it was overthrown the group regrouped in Pakistan to fight the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (established in late 2001) and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force. The Taleban believe that they should be able to solve their problems. They say that they do not want the United Nations or the United States to keep order in their country. The Taliban say that the citizens of the country are able to solve their problems; they want to rule themselves with no help. They even accuse other countries to not just try to help them but to take things from their country and for try to rule it. The Taleban tries to draw attention by attacking different military bases, military vehicles, soldiers etc of the United States and the Government of the country. Even though the Taleban is chased by the authorities it is supported by many people. Even millionaires who believe in the ideas of the Taleban give money to them and they even join the group. Also the Taliban is also allied with other groups who pursue similar goals as them like Al-Qaeda. The Taleban promised that if their country is left alone by outsiders they will stop their fighting and withdraw their weapons.
I personally think that the goals that the Taleban seeks are understandable but the ways the use to try to change the situation are very wrong. They can not kill soldiers or civilians to change the situation of the country. It is also really hard for me to believe that if the United States and the United Nations leave, the Group would withdraw weapons or not attempt to start ruling over the country like oppressors and tyrants.

Terrorist Attacks
Osama Bin Laden has devastated this country and almost devastated my life. On September 11 2001 my dad was across the street from the World Trade Center ready to go in when the first plane hit one of the towers. He ran and got away thinking it might have just been a small planes accident. From about two or three blocks away he saw the second plane hit and saw the huge fireball coming out. Then he knew that something was going on but he wasn’t quite sure what. That day my mom took me out of school and she did not know if my dad was alive. I did not know what was going on because I was too small. He later called my mom and everything was alright. My dad had lost one of his best friends because of the attack. He and the rest of America then were informed that it was a terrorist attack. Also America was informed that a plane crashed into the pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania probably because of the same reason. On that day about three thousand American citizens died because of the attacks. This is probably in the top five worst things that has happened to the United States and probably always will be.
Every single day in America has been different since then. The security around America and airports around the world has increased a lot. It has also started something else in Afghanistan, a war.
This has changed my life because I want to join the Army Rangers and fight in Afghanistan. Also many of my family members have changed the personalities since then maybe because of lost family members/friends or they were just shocked that this happened.

9/11 and the war on iraq
one of the things that effected my life the most would have to be 9/11. on September 11th 2001 terrorists flew planes into the twin towers and the pentagon. this attack killed more than 3,000 people and injured many. i remember sitting in school in first grade when we all learned what had happened.
when we were that age we didn't really know how to react to something that intense. this event impacted a lot of people that i know. this was a shock to all of us and led to the war in iraq that has been happening for the past ten years. most people know someone in the war or effected by the war in some way. this was a rough period of time for us all and this recent event of the death of osama bin ladin is a relief to us all.
i know many people that have been fighting in the war in iraq for the past few years. also my uncle just retired from being a carnal in the air force and a sociologist for the air force so i know many stories from what he had experienced from the war.
when bin ladin died the other day it felt weird how he was in my life for such a long time with 9/11 and the war. its a relief that he’s gone but makes me wonder what will happen next.

Hurricane Katrina
The disaster that applies to me from the last five years is the hurricane Katrina incident. When the hurricane hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005 it broke the levees and caused a mass flood. This caused money and other necessary items to go to them instead of the rest of the country. This was one of deadliest hurricane in the US'S history killing 1,836 people.
This disaster does apply to me because I live in the country were this happened. The US did not take care of this the right way, instead they just let the people suffer as their world was turned upside down. After the flood cleared it looked like a battle had gone on there. FEMA which was supposed to go down and help went there and help did not go down until most of what could go wrong did go wrong.
My grandparents have a house in Florida they were not there at that time. The hurricane did do a small amount of damage to them it ripped of some parts of the screened in porch. This nothing like what happened in New Orleans because Florida was hit with a much less significant storm.
Many things had to be cut when trying to aid the victims. The tax payers had to pay a little bit more to help cover the $90 billion dollars in damage to the country.

Al-Qaeda's Problem By Weijia Ren
Al-Qaeda's Problem
There was a lot of big happened in China at 2008. AL-Qaeda’s of Uighurs make a big political ethnic violence.
In China, the government is rot. The leaders that work for government, most of them is work for money but not for the citizens. They don’t want to think about the political problem in China. The things they worry about are money, selfish, reputation. When they face to the political problem, most of them have no idea.
The Uighurs violence make a lots of people in China got hurt. The Uighurs did that is because they’re life is not fair in China. They have racial problem. But the government have no good idea for found out these kind of problem. At last, Uighurs just can fix these problems and let the government weak up “we are a part of China.”
Nothing is perfect in the world, but the government in some countries that all over the world, they should not hide some truth to the citizens, the should pay more attention to the citizens, think about our feeling. In the other countries, there were lots of wars of republic problem. But most of these beginning are start from the government, that can’t find out the problem about the citizens.
But as we can see, not all the government in some big or developed countries government can be nice and found out the problem. Like Obama, he has done lots of good thing for his own country. But what he does made the other countries people feel bad. For example… What? We are just students, should we talk about these kind of society peoblem?
