War With Iraq: Is It Worth It?


What does the United States have to gain from a war with Iraq? Supporters of a war with Iraq say it will help prevent the risk of an attack by a weapons of mass destruction developed by Iraq. Critics of a military action that say nothing will be gained, and the U.S. just wants to obtain the oil that Iraq controls. They claim that casualties will be too costly for America to afford. Nonetheless, America should act while others will not for fear of disturbing global peace. Iraq poses a “clear and present danger” to the security of the United States and the security of countries around the world.

For the past several months the United Nations’ Security Council has debated on whether or not to accept the U.S. proposal to force Iraq to comply the new and former resolutions. The new resolution calls for complete disarmament of Iraq and the re-entrance of weapons inspectors into Iraq. If Iraq fails to comply, then military force would be taken in order to disarm Iraq. This proposal met opposition from council members Russia, China, and France. They thought that the U.S. proposal was too aggressive and that the U.S. should not act alone without U.N. approval. For weeks they refused to believe that the only way to make Iraq disarm is through the threat of force and the fear of being wiped out.

Iraq for the past several years has violated numerous U.N. resolutions that call for destruction of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and allowance of weapons inspectors to monitor the disposal of such weapons. Ever since the end of the Gulf War, Iraq has disregarded these policies by removing weapons inspectors, which in turn has allowed Iraq to further research weapons of mass destruction. In 1998 the U.S. launched Operation Desert Fox with the objective of allowing weapons inspectors back into the country. After the operation succeeded and inspectors were allowed back in, all seemed well and little attention was paid to Iraq. Since political powers did not deem it worthy to check on Iraq and put their main focus on Wall Street, Iraq renewed their weapons program and everyone just did not pay attention. What did our leaders think they were making, snow cone machines?

After the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, the focus has shifted back on Iraq. Iraq has been known to help finance terrorist groups, which have anti-American feelings. With Iraq’s weapons program going unchecked for several years, there is no telling what they may have in their arsenal. The U.S. intends to stop Iraq from developing any more weapons of mass destruction before they are used against the world. Iraq can easily give these weapons to a terrorist group who will then try and use those weapons against the U.S. Stopping Iraq’s research of weapons of mass destruction decreases the chance that such weapons fall into the hands of a terrorist organization.

This past November the U.N. Security Council voted 15-0 in favor of the U.S. resolution. Iraq has seven days from the day the resolution was passed to comply. If Iraq refuses to agree to the resolution, then force will be used to disarm them. Hopefully Saddam is not smoking pot, and he will accept the resolution with open arms. The resolution also states that if evidence of Iraq’s non-compliance is shown, then it gives permission for the U.S. to act and force disarmament. Maybe this time around, the U.S. and Britain will not be the only key players in a war backed by the U.N. It is good to see the U.N. finally getting some backbone and not relying on the U.S. to do all the fighting while everyone else sits and tries to be politically correct.

Critics argue that a war with Iraq will prove too costly for the expected results. Some critics say Iraq poses no real threat and should be left alone. If the U.S. leaves Iraq alone, they will continue to research and build weapons of mass destruction, and they will use them to kill Americans on a large scale through terrorism. What will those critics say then when a nuclear device destroys New York because we did not force Iraq to disarm? Unfortunately, the critics do raise a valid point in concern with the loss of American life if we do attack. All of us are indebted to the service men and women of the U.S. They are willing to die so that everyone can enjoy the freedoms we have.

If Iraq does not comply with the U.N. and action is taken to disarm them, what will happen next? If force is taken against Saddam, more than likely he will be overthrown. Then Iraq will be leaderless, and the U.S. will have to step in to make sure all hell does not break loose. What might happen is kind of like the following:

“Should a US military campaign oust Saddam with reasonable dispatch, the United States would be swarmed, at least for a time, by well-wishers who would emerge from the sidelines to proclaim, "We were with you all along," without so much of a hint of shame. After the fall of Saddam, the establishment of an interim Iraqi government and the lifting of UN sanctions, European politicians and businessmen--particularly French, German, and Russian--would flock in droves to Baghdad to reestablish their lucrative business ties severed by the Gulf War.”

There have been several suggestions of post-war government. One is that Gen. Tommy Franks will govern Iraq like Macarthur did in Japan after World War II. Another solution would be to let the people of Iraq decide who they want their leaders to be and for how long.

Iraq has been given a choice: disarm or be forced to disarm. Whether or not force will be used is up to Iraq’s government. If the U.S. does go to war with Iraq, I know for a fact they we will succeed. The U.S. aims to get rid of any weapons of mass destruction located in Iraq, which includes Saddam’s palaces. I hope that a war can be avoided since I do not want our soldiers or innocent civilians killed. But, if the Iraqi leadership decides not to comply, then action will be taken against them. This time, we are going to finish the job that we left more than a decade ago.

الماء و أهميته
The Importance of Water


Water, the most abundant compound on the planet, is a material, which
is essential for all living organisms. Its uses in all living things
cover a huge variety of everyday functions, which are important to the
continuity of the organism. Water has obvious familiar properties, its
colourless; It's tasteless; It's odourless; It feels wet; It's
distinctive in sound when dripping from a faucet or crashing as a
wave; It dissolves nearly everything; It exists in three forms:
liquid, solid, gas; It can absorb a large amount of heat; It sticks
together into beads or drops; It's part of every living organism on
the planet.

Water's unique properties are largely a result of its simple
composition and structure. Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms
bound to one oxygen atom. The two hydrogen atoms are smaller the
smallest atom there is, in fact, and they rest on both sides of the
larger oxygen atom at an angle of 105°. When the hydrogen atoms
combine with oxygen, they each give away their single electron and
form what is known as a covalent bond. Because electrons are more
attracted to the positively charged oxygen atom, the two hydrogen's
become slightly positively charged (they give away their negative
charge) and the oxygen atom becomes negatively charged. This
separation between negative and positive charges creates what is known
as a polar molecule, meaning a molecule that has an electrical charge
on its surface somewhere. Although the water molecule as a whole has
no charge, the parts of it, the hydrogen wings and the oxygen body, do
exhibit individual charges.

The polarity of water allows it to join with other molecules,
including itself. Water molecules can form hydrogen bonds, which give
shape to water as a whole. Water has a high surface tension(Fig 2).
The ability of water molecules to quickly break and re-form hydrogen
bonds gives it a property called cohesion. Water's high amount of
cohesion makes it "sticky" such that across the air-water interface, a
kind of "water barrier" is set up that allows things to float easier
on the surface and causes water to form beads. These hydrogen bonds
also give water many other unique properties.

One of the most important properties of water is as a solvent. Water
is slightly ionised which means that other polar molecules such as
salts, sugars and amino acids will dissolve readily in water. This
means water can be used for the transportation of such substances
(notably in the bloodstream of animals and the xylem and phloem
vessels found in plants)

Water has an unusually high specific heat capacity; over twice the
specific heat capacity of ice or steam this makes it a very useful
substance for living organisms. Water does not change temperature very
easily and therefore minimizes fluctuations in temperature in cells
and creates a remarkably constant sea temperature for aquatic
organisms. As water is heated, the increased movement of water causes
the hydrogen bonds to bend and break. As the energy absorbed in these
processes is not available to increase the kinetic energy of the
water, it takes considerable heat to raise water's temperature. Also,
as water is a light molecule there are more molecules per gram, than
most similar molecules, to absorb this energy. Heat absorbed is given
out on cooling, so allowing water to act as a heat reservoir,
buffering against changes in temperature.

Water has a high latent heat of vaporisation, which means that when
animals sweat and plants transpire water, takes energy from the
organism when it evaporates and as a result cools the organism.

Therefore water has many interesting and unusual properties which are
fundamental for survival of all living organisms.

It really depends on the book. I'm one of those people that can absolutely get lost in a book, and can't put it down. But there are also books that just bore me to death, so it really depends
i read frequently on my free time (Although Internet and TV have taken a big chunk of it, sadly).
Not ALL books are worth it, though.
If you feel that reading is boring, I recommend that you try to read about themes that truly interest you, then I bet you'll get the taste for it.
With anything, the more you absorb yourself into something the more you enjoy it (and the less boring it is). Reading 50 pages of something might be boring. But, by the 51st page, you start to get absorbed in the language, and, the story, and, the characters. That's when reading becomes fun and not boring anymore. </SPAN></SPAN>

Arabian women have great eyes, so eyeliner and mascara (black) is enough to define the beauty of their eyes. No eye shadow should be added when the eye is already marked with thick eye liner.
love their make-up style! It emphasizes on the eyes and it makes the Arab women look much more enigmatic and sensual!
