Promise of a New Beginning (week 10)

President Barack Obama President Barack Obama reached out to Iran on Friday; the start of the Iranian New Year- in a video message offering the promise of a new beginning that is grounded in mutual respect. The message that was intended is completely different from that of the Bush administration. This included Iran, North Korea, and Iraq. They were known as the "axis of evil." President Obama said this in his video from last friday, "The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right, but it comes with real responsibilities. And that place cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization."

I think we should stay out of things now. It is ridiculous that we are still trying to make things work over there. We have done all that we can do. It seems from other sources that we are done there. So why do we keep trying to do things? To me it does not make any sense as to why we are doing this. I think we should focus on things at home rather then building another nation, which in my opinion, will go back to the way it was in a matter of time. Bring the troops and focus on things home.

  1. Good first effort. The format was correct and the subject relevant. The only suggestion that I would have would be that any time you are going to include that many quotes in your summary of the event, you either need to provide a link to the actual article or cite the source. Keep improving!
