Syria

• unrest started with the Tunisian revolution reached Syria in mid-March 2011
• with children doing anti-government grafitti the government responded withheavy handed punishment
• the country did not respond well and an uproar began.
• in a dictatorship
• was going to do slight reform but decided to be harsher was better.*
• soilders started to go against the government with harsh attacks

The Syrian government upset the people of their contry as far as they could handle. They took harsh action against a harmless prank and the people took action back. They protested and got worse and worse. Then Al-Queada came out and made things worse. In terms of peoples reaction and outsiders opinions on them (made worse very negative stereotypes). I'm wondering why the government just wants to get harsher and harsher when obviously the people arnt responding well to that kind of treatment? TO THE PAST- dictatorships dont work. They never have and they never will. One person will never have enough insight to control/run an entire country by themselves.

The War in Afghanistan

Well, it seems as though the war is coming closer and closer to an end. They're trying to get everybody home to their families as soon as possible and their planning to end combat in a little less than a year- a year before everyone should be home.

Its understandble that people are angry about this war- I know that I hear my parents talk about how dumb it is all the time. I don't think people have heard a clear plan in a really long time and they need to know how they plan to do all these things that have promised.

QUESTION

I am learning about Native Americans and the Trail of Tears because I want to find out why Andrew Jackson found it necessary to move the Natives into a remote location in such traitorous conditions in order to find out weather it was really a necessary action to take and what it ended up effecting both negatively and positively.

Native American: Removal and Trail of Tears overview

Indian Removal Act (around 1830) and the stuff that follows:

Indian Removal Act- http://americanhistory.abc-clio.com/Topics/Display/1187738?sid=254448&webSiteCode=SLN_AMHIST&returnToPage=%2fTopics%2fDisplay%2f1187738%3fsid%3d254448&cid=23&oid=263244&useConcept=False&token=F0E781CCF1DEDAE31A3807244FA765E7&casError=False

Enacted on May 28, 1830 after one of the most contentious and bitter debates in Congress with the exception of the arguments over slavery, the Indian Removal Act proceeded to shift most of the nations of Indian tribes in the eastern United States to what was deemed "Indian country" in present-day Oklahoma. In the most notorious of the Indian removal efforts, President Andrew Jackson ordered the Cherokee nation off its land in Georgia in 1833. Although the tribe fought against the order in the U.S. court system, it was eventually forced to comply. As the Cherokee made their arduous journey to Oklahoma, starvation, illness, cold, and despair resulted in thousands of deaths, so that the journey is now remembered as the Trail of Tears.
