Information

is a powerful thing.

I feel that since Obama has taken office we hear more and more about the war in Iraq. Is that a coincidence? I am not sure. It is because I have simply taken more of an interest as I have gotten older? Again I am not sure, but what I am sure about is that each day on the cover of the New York Times I constantly see pictures and stories and other information that I don't remember seeing in the past.

This story is one which reminded me of this fact. I am and always have been an avid reader of the New York Times, since the age of 8, and believe that I don't remember the stories being written as much as they are nowadays.

I think it's great that students are now able to sympathize and understand what is going on with these soldiers and these current events.
