This article is about a tragic mine fire in Turkey that killed dozens of miners and left many trapped deep underground. In response to this tragedy, Turkey is doing as much as possible to stop unsafe and unregulated mining operations. According to the article, unregulated mines account for 85% of the mines in Turkey, so its going to take some time for them to follow through with regulations. This is a reliable article as it is from the CNN website. This article helped me realize how dangerous it is to work in the mining industry in countries that lack safety regulations.

This article is about how the Taliban is, once again, attacking government buildings in Afghanistan like they do every spring when the weather warms up in the mountains. The reason they do this every spring is to try and regain control of the government of Afghanistan. It is my understanding that their motive is to control the global opium market and ultimate wealth. I believe this is reliable information because it is on the CNN website and they have a good reputation for accurate news. I have learned that the Taliban is very persistent and violent. I can't imagine living in a country where a violent terrorist group is trying to overthrow the government every spring. I feel that must be an unsafe place to live, work, and try and raise a family, and am glad I live in the U.S.

In this article, a powerful spring storm system has caused tornadoes, killing 29 people in six states throughout the south east of the United States. It is a factual recall of a current event on CNN's website, which is a reliable news source. This article made me realize how serious the storms in the southeastern U.S. were and the magnitude of their death toll. It also made me glad to live in the northeast where tornadoes are very rare.

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.

In this article Russian protesters force police out of a government building in the Ukraine and don't even budge when a full scale anti-terrorist assault is threatened.
