More Troops

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1865823,00.html

The Pentagon is planing on sending three out of four combat brigades in to Afghanistan by summer, which will be about 20,000 Troops. This is because there has been a spike in the resurgence of the Taliban. I feel that the United States Should of kept there focus in Afghanistan instead of heading to Iraq to fight an endless war with no point. The United States pretty much forgot why they when to the Middle East they when to stop terrorism. Since moving there focus from Afghanistan to Iraq they have created more terrorist than ever. I feel that it is a good move on the government to send more Troops to Afghanistan because that is were they are needed. That is were Osama Bin Laden is or was. Now no one has a clue. We will see were the country put its interest in money or safety.

crazy world

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1863679,00.html

This world is so crazy! This story is about a 17 year old boy who walks into a gym in Tracy, Calif. with just his boxers on and a chain wrap on his leg. The boy who name was not released said, "Don't let them get me." The boy was held captive for almost a year. They found the two alleged kidnapers on was a Girl Scout leader with four children. I can't believe how many sick people there are out in this world. To hurt a child in that way for over a year is barbaric. I feel that child abusers should get bigger sentences those murders. It beyond comprehension how these people think of doing things like this? just the other day I was looking online and I seen that there were thirty register sex offenders in my area code. The sad part was eighty percent of them were child abusers. I feel that as American we need to step up the laws on this type of crime to in sure that these types of people stay off the streets
