On November 25,2014 fox news published an article named “A look at US military action across the Middle East amid fight against the Islamic State group.” I am writing about this topic because I believe that we should monitor and give full support to the troops at all times. I also think that this article is great because it gives individual progress reports on Islamic states. For instance the article states that Obama this month has all ready authorized the deployment of another 1500 troops to Iraq, which causes the amount of troops to almost double (3100 Troops). As far as Afghanistan goes troops have been coming home for a while now. The article states that Obama hope to have them all home by 2016 which is very exciting for many Americans over seas.  The tensions in Syria are being handled by airstrikes that have been launching since September 2014.The article also says that we have begun to drop weapons to the kurds, in hopes that they will over throw President Bashar Assad. I found this article very interesting because it’s a nice to the point update on the Middle East.  I think that we should all pay attention to the troops because if you cant stand behind our troops while bullets are flying, you can feel free to stand in front of them. 

Commentary on "Realignment"

On November 4, 2014 Justin Barrada, talked about a possible political realignment coming soon. His article was titled Realignment. I would like to take a moment to agree with Justin. I think that we are at a point where many people are unhappy with the progress that the government has made towards many issues.The government was designed to follow public opinion with a time delay however, this time the delay has gone on for long enough. In our life time we will get to see a political realignment it is just a matter of time.
