Does anyone know a half decent video editing tool that is free for Windows XP? Just need to cut and splice a few clips together?

It depends on the format of the source video etc. For basic (and free) video editing software, have a look at: Windows Movie Maker download.live.com/moviemaker Looking at its product description, it should let you cut and join clips.

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.
