Because of the Two American deaths at the US Consolate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Nobody knows why they were (cowardly) shot, but president Barack Obama reacted to the news immediately and made a speech on national television. Some of his words included "sadness" and "outrage". Recently there has been a lot of random, senseless shootings throughout numerous cities both in the Northern bordering states & and the port/tourist resort city of Acapulco.

Just over this last weekend, 45 people were Killed in Acapulco alone! 13 of them Beheaded! If you have (or know of) teenage or college age children who are going or are planning on going to Mexico, please Stop them from doing so!

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.
