The People of Iran : 1st Amendment Exercises
As of June 17, 2009, Iranians have taken to the streets for the third day of protests of a claimed psuedo-election. The Iranian government has actually started shooting at protestors. Every country has the right to nuclear power, but every country does not have the right to create nuclear arms. If you want to be part of the modern world, then there are standards that must be met. Iran is one of the last countries left in the world that lets religion dictate the rule of law. State and Religion should forever be separated. The coverage has been lengthy, and I think diplomacy is the way to go, and the State Department is handling this situation accordingly. I think we should impress on the Iranian people that we want them to be free and have free uncompromised elections. Is the UN really doing its job and monitoring elections? Why not have them monitor ours? How about they be the third party that counts the votes? Hmm, yeah, I don't think so. So how do you hold your government accountable for holding fair elections? I think the United States again sets such great precedence with having locals man election polls. Even though the method of voting is still up in the air, there should always be a papertrail, America holds great elections!

When is a Conspiracy not a Theory? When it's Watergate! --- Book Review : All the President's Men
Everyone knows something about Watergate, whether it was some guys breaking into someplace, or it's the reason why Nixon resigned, but the whole story can not be expressed better than by the investigators themselves. This type of investigative journalism has no match in the modern era. The press is now a shill of the American Government. The Fourth Arm of the Checks and Balances that maintain a public eye on our public servants no longer act with the tenacity and intelligence that Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward did. As always you can not generalize about a whole genre of anything, with people like Jim Tucker, from American Free Press, still searching for the true elite of the World. This book makes you feel like you are running with Carl and Bob through their adventures and conversations obtaining the stories that indicated a cover-up that went all the way to the President of the United States of America. A reporters role was made more significant through the efforts of hard investigating mimicking the intelligence of the FBI. This book is a great spotlight on a brief period of history that has openly tarnished the Office of the Presidency, even though many after Nixon are adding their own coat of Tarnish. Great Book, Great Read.
