Online Research Exploration

I went to the Nebraska Access Site and clicked on tutorial. The learning center was closed when I wanted to do this assignment. The Nebraska Access Site required me to give my personal information to enter.I am not comfortable giving any data base my personal identity numbers. I typed United States of Europe into the search engine and pulled up several files linked to a pdf file that explained the US divisions online computer library. The United States Worldwide Library Services. http://www.oclc.org/promptcat/about/success/northtexas.pdf. I explored the news stories on current topics at http://news.google.com and found several news stories that I had watched on CNN earlier in the day. The author and the news story that caught my attention: Ausuebel, Judy." Key events Since U.S.-Led Invasion of Iraq to Overthrow Saddam Hussein." The Associated Press 18 March. 2006. I began to think about democracy taking hold In Iraq, and how hard we have worked to help Iraq establish a free society, away from the brutal dictatorship that plagued them. http://www.startribune.com/722/story/315707.html . I looked around my house and realized everything was oil based. The computers, glasses, pens, book covers, picture frames, notebooks, television, ect.. I wondered, are we addicted to oil? The answer was obvious to me, yes. I think the people of Iraq deserve to live in a democracy even if it's not the way we think a democracy should be. They deserve to have a nice life and a house in Iraq, made out of oil based products not mud and clay. After all it is their oil, not ours! I am happy that we have don't want to be in the oil business with a dictator liked Saddam Hussein anymore. Now that Iraq has a government made up of several voices instead of one, the people of Iraq will have a chance to live a decent life. I praised President Bush for being the decent man he is. I went on to http://www.google.com/unclesam and punched in the words National Security. The lists of results displayed. A name of a book and an author caught my eye. Patterson, Robert B., Jr 2003. Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account Of How President Bill Clinton Endangered America"s National Security. This type of a story from a credible officer of the United States Military makes one thing clear, "The National Security of the United States must stand on it's current policy of Preemption." In 2006 vote for National Security. Our future deserves an honest chance! Stand on the side of freedom, not dictatorship! This assignment is done.
