War?

Nicole2004 Posts: 20 Joined: 2003/02/06	2003/03/20, 10:08 AM Okay I'm so lost. I really have no idea what is going on with this whole war. Who are we fighting with now and why? What happend to Bin Laden. I would watch the news but I just dont have time. And we're not allowed to talk about it in school. Please fill me in!

As a matter of fact, the High School Seniors are required to do a "current event" project on it for their World History class. They even have a few schools with counselors to talk to the kids who are really bothered by it. I'm assuming you go to a private school? There is another discussion on this forum about the war too. Check it out. I think it will give you a good sense of what is going on and various different views on it. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com

You probably have fellow students who have parents or brthers, sisters etc that are involved. Why would the school have such a ban? -------------- Peace on earth Ivan Montreal Canada
