around the world today

the issues in today's news has me alarmed...

first, north korea and kim jong il. north korea has tested 7 missiles over the last two days in a blatant display of aggression. it is said that the missiles are capable of reaching the western united states but according to the news, the missiles have failed and blew up shortly after the launch. this is something the global community should be concerned about. north korea has the 4th largest army in the world and obviously has nuclear capabilities. north korea is no iraq or afghanistan...the armies are trained well and trained to kill. who knows what kim jong il will be up to next.


next, ken lay of enron died today...somehow i feel as if there's a little more to it than just a heart attack. when i first saw it in the news this morning, i thought to myself, 'oh! he decided to take the easy way out!' the love of money is the root of all evil and because of his greed, he scammed and took millions of dollars away from hard-working americans. i'm only speculating that he commited suicide after being found guilty of fraud last month. in my head im thinking the humiliation was too much for him to bear. his sentencing was supposed to be later this year but because of his untimely death, his victims will not see him go to prison.
