Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
The article that I read was about Iran threating other countries, saying that whoever tried to attack their nuclear facilities would be attacked by them.

This is similar to us because if some one attacks us we are going to attack back.This affects me by telling me if the U.S trys to attack Iran we shouldn’t do it because they will attack back.

Lexus Manufacturing Problems!
Tomorrow Toyota said it will take back 4,500 Lexus from the streets of Japan and fix a steering problem they have. This solves only half the problem, the other bad thing is that they cannot fix 7,000 other Lexus because they are overseas here in the U.S! This is pretty bad, because people could get in serious accidents with steering. They should have checked this before they sent them out to the world.

Mudslide In Italy
Last Monday a huge mudslide came tumbling down a mountain. Unluckily, a community train was right under it and there was a huge collision. At the time of impact the train was flipped over and was covered with mud. Sadly nine people lost their lives and others were hurt.

Nigeria’s Cabinet Breakdown
This week Nigeria’s acting president decided to just go ahead and change the cabinet of the entire country. This is the man’s biggest change ever since he took over the cabinet not that long ago. He decided to change the cabinet so it could change and the country could change as well, this is why he made the huge decision of dissolving it. A lot of this had to do with the mass murder hat happened about a month ago. When the acting president saw the cabinet did not do anything to help he decided it was time for change, so he showed his political power and totally changed the cabinet!

Nigeria Split in Two?
This Monday the leader of Nigeria was not pleased with all the fighting in Nigeria. He finally said that they should just split up! He said all the violence could never be stopped unless the nation was split into two sections. There would be the Muslim section and the Christian section. I do not know how the president reacted to this but personally I think it is a very good idea. Splitting the nation to stop fighting seems reasonable and very good to top war. This is important because we want peace in the world and now countries are even fighting with themselves. What is this world coming to?
