This was a work that I used for an American Studies paper. It was about how women gained power during World War One, and how they expressed that power through writing. I was able to access this article through Ms. Burdett's JSTOR account, which was a very useful website because you had access to work that wasn't published on the broader internet and you could keep it all bookmarked together. I knew this was reliable because it was associated with a college, and the author used in-text citations so I could double check her sources if I wanted to. However, it was biased because the author was writing a persuasive piece. She started the work with a debatable thesis and gave evidence throughout the article to support it. This was one of the most challenging articles I've read because it was written at a college level, but the information was at a higher level as well. The author went very in-depth, and while the sheer amount of information was sometimes hard to sort through, it gave me better details in the end. The only drawback I would tell someone else who wanted to use this source was that it was on JSTOR, so I needed Ms. Burdett's password and permission whenever I wanted to use it.

This is a good timeline of the Iraq War with pictures and videos.

Raises an important point about war Metaphors

This article is about the possible out comes that can happen when the crisis starts to come to a close. It also gives a great political history of Russia and the Ukraine.

I am glad you put this article on Diigo Clayton! Kissenger does a nice job of reminding people to have historical knowledge before reacting; Russian history and psychology of Ukraine can not be ignored. I was intrigued by his comment that villanizing Putin is a response to not having a clear policy. HK starts his essay well with the reference to how easy war begins and how challenging and daunting it is to end. Words of wisdom...

talks about US/Russia Deal and punishment for Syria if they don't comply

There is so much more this article discusses... What does the UN say about this chemical attack on August 21st? What seems to be the points for possible future conflict between Russia and the U.S?

This is A recap of all that's happened in Syria so far, and hopefully what will happen in the future. Its still up in the air right now.

Obama said it was not for America to determine who would lead Syria, but he added: "A leader who slaughtered his citizens and gassed children to death cannot regain the legitimacy to lead a badly fractured country." Does anyone know what this quote has to do with the Natural Rights Philosophy 18th century philosopher John Locke wrote about in Two Treatise of Government?

The Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, says his government will surrender all chemical weapons to international experts. He claims that the rebels might want to block access to the weapons and trying to obtain said weapons might be dangerous. Is this statement trustworthy? How will the experts handle this information to insure safety and peace?

The ongoing Civil War creates many threats and challenges to the UN chemical team. It would be interesting to do a follow up to see how successful they have all been.

Talks about the cabin in Grand Isle Vermont, built circa 1783 by Jedediah Hyde, Jr , a veteran of the Revolutionary War. The family lived there for 150 years. It was moved in 1946 to the location its in and was restored in 1956 and 1985. The Grand Isle Historical Society owns the collection in the building.

This article is about Obama, the current U.S. President, who is trying to outlaw guns by going behind the citizens backs and making it a crime for any citizen to own a gun by not stopping the U.N. from passing international gun control laws. This will allow the secretary of state, without consent from the citizens of the United States, to decide the gun control laws in our country and across the globe. This article came from CNN, which is a reliable news source. I fear Obama's actions are going to start a civil war if this actually happens because it would violate the second amendment right of all U.S. citizens by creating a larger global law banning guns. I am strongly opposed to the U.N. setting our country's gun control laws and want to protect my current rights as a U.S. citizen.
