    J.F.K. wanted to go to the moon.  So we went to the moon.  The reason we went was because we were in a Space Race, and the United States were behind.  Being the first on the moon would put us back in the lead.  Also being the first on the moon is an event that will never be forgotten.  The United States had no gain from being first on the moon, but we did it anyways just because it was there.  This moon landing was a great accomplishment but it was not a good thing for our economy.  There was other things that we could have been doing to help our country.

    The next big thing that will probably happen is going to be the answer to Global Warming.  This will be a big accomplishment because it could possibly save the World and we could be recognized as a very smart country.  This is worth the time and money because it is happening right now.  If the United States was the country that discovered the answer then we would have done something that is good and not a waste of our time.

 WoT - essay # 1

    The War on Terror was started after the attack on our Twin Towers on 9/11.  Al Quieda, led by Osama Bin Ladin flew two jets into the Twin Towers, and another one into the Pentagon.  We, the United States, went to Afghanistan first becuase that's where Osama planned his attack and was located.  The U.S. went to Iraq during WoT.  In the future the plan is to withdraw the troops out of Iraq.

    Starting off in the War on Terror, the United States army went in to find Osama Bin Ladin and stop the Al Quieda.  In the midst of the our search for Bin Ladin, we went after Sadam Hussein.  Hussein ended up hung, you can watch a crappy video on youtube if you haven't seen it.  There have been several videos released by Osama so we are pretty sure that he is still alive.  Our troops were very close to him but were not able to advance.

    There are two fronts that people debate on where the U.S. troops should be.  One front is in Iraq, which is where the troops are at now mainly.  The second is in Afghanistan, where the whole war started.  The reasons for the central front in Iraq is this, the Iraqi govrnment is no good, so America is trying to make their country run like ours.  They were after Hussein, and they got him so now it's just makeing them have a good working government.  The reasons for being in Afghanistan are these, the Al Queida attacked the U.S. from there.  The Al Queida is from Afghanistan and this is where Osama Bin Ladin was located.  When 9/11 took place we went to Afghanistan and we have had no reason for leaveing they should still be there.
