Welcome

Welcome to the Nora's News Blog. I have a few topics I would like discussed.

1) Rape has been legalized in Afghanistan. Here is a link with a subjective overview of the law: http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=3613
  • How should the US respond taking into account:
  • The US may not have the capacity to confront all the atrocities that happen around the world, so how can the country choose?
  • The US may or may not be in a position in which it can be diplomatically effective.
  • Has the lack of official recognition of countries had the desired impact in the past?
  • What are the options?

2) Is our target of Afghanistan a wise one considering Russia's experience and our own naivete in Vietnam?

3) Topic of your choice
