It is important to have this labeled as a "international humanitarian mission". This is because they don't want a US-led offensive in another muslim country. The Obama administration is eager to transfer the military command to NATO to portray the six-day-old operation as the international humanitarian mission.

Article, once again

I think the United Nations shouldn't supply the rebels with the weaponry they are asking for and just keep the no-fly zone. I think this because they don't deserve them. They are going against what is right so they shouldn't give them any weaponry. Maybe if they didn't do that stuff, they should.

Article... Again.

The conflict is that the United States, France, and Great Britain were attacking the Libyan air-defense and other militaries. The conflict started by the Libyan rebels calling on international action to help ward of the assaults by Libyan government on their positions in Benghazi and other places. They then issued a no-fly zone to "protect civilians and civilian populated areas" from the government attacks.

I think the punishment does not fit the crime. I think this because that was a horrific crime that deserves a life sentence. Whether you're crazy or not, you still have some sense that that is very wrong. 60 is not a good enough punishment for that. He doesn't deserve to be forgiven.

Culture

My definition of culture has changed. I now think of it as how people live and such. Understanding culture is very important. This is because if you don't understand it, you won't understand other people and why they do what they do. So to understand them, you have to know about their own culture.

Budget Cuts Article

On Monday, there were ideas for the budget cuts. Those ideas were reducing the state's share of General Assistance funding for large cities, giving the state 90 days, instead of 45, to determine whether someone is disabled enough to qualify for benefits, changing the income eligibility standard for Medicaid to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, imposing a strict five-year limit for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, reducing the income eligibility levels for a program that helps pay for prescription drugs for senior citizens, and requiring legal noncitizens to live in Maine for five years before they get food stamps, medical and financial assistance, and Supplemental Social Security income. I think these changes are a bad idea. I think this because no one is getting anything good out of it. It's all bad for the people who live in Maine and needed those things.

I'm on the state workers' side. I don't think state workers should have their benefits cut. I think this because if everyone's benefits were cut, a lot of people wouldn't be able to afford insurance. So then people wouldn't be able to get the healthcare and stuff that they need. So, I think Paul LePage shouldn't cut the benefits.

If I moved to a new country

If I moved to a new country, I wouldn't want to change my religious life. I don't go to church or practice a religion or anything, so I wouldn't want to have to start doing that. Something I would want to change is my eating habits. I don't eat very well, I'm very picky. So I would like to branch out more with that.
