Was President Obama right to cancel the shuttle replacement and privatize the space program?

Unfortunately, I believe this new policy direction by the Obama administration to lessen our national commitment to NASA is a mistake. By the end of 2010, there will be no space shuttle flights or a manned U.S. space program, and we will be effectively giving Russia and China a monopoly on space flight. Farming out large portions of the manned space program to private firms is a mistake simply because we can’t guarantee that private firms will have enough capital to fund programs that by their very nature are risky, unpredictable, and subject to huge cost overruns.

There is simply no good reason for putting our manned space exploration efforts on hold for the foreseeable future while our strategic competitors continue their space exploration efforts. What policy should the U.S. Take with Iran? We have passed the 11th hour as it relates to Iran’s nuclear program, and the time has come where we must take a much harder line with the present Iranian regime.

Further sanctions on Iran will ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
