Six frigates were built during George Washington’s presidency, but remained docked along the coast of America until Thomas Jefferson’s presidency. Due to persistent aggression by Tripoli, Jefferson decided to confront the Barbary state with force. From 1801-1805 the United States engaged in the First Barbary War against the state of Tripoli. Eventually the war ended with an American victory and peace settlement, but tensions with the state of Algiers boiled over shortly after and culminated in the

Is it ever acceptable to torture a man to the point of inflicting suicidal thoughts and actions on him? This instance commonly takes place at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, or GTMO (“Gitmo”). Only 6 of the 166 current detainees have been formally charged, which leaves the possibility that over 96% of the prisoners there are innocent. In fact, more men have died at Guantanamo than have ever been convicted. GTMO’s existence is a controversial topic because of the treatment of detainees, various

It, along with other colonies along the west African coast, were exploited for their resources and were left to pay for the damages after not only World Wars I and II, but also from in-country fighting as well.

The men in the First Canadian Division were easy to connect with mama. Lots of them were farmers, factory workers and business owners just like our family members. In Valcartier, I met Riley during our four week training. We were buddies during our winter training in Salisbury Plain too. In Salisbury Plain, we learned basic military skills such as shooting and aiming. Riley was surprised of the little instruction of trench warfare though. Like the words on the propaganda posters, he was eager on

this one. The irony of such a feature of Sky’s book is that while she understands the Iraq War in its proper historical context – a military intervention preceded by tens just like it throughout the 20th century, with real lessons to be learned from them – the United States government, which organized the war effort, crucially did not. This ignorance was revealed in the way the United States fought the Iraq War, a classic example of an insurgency requiring a counterinsurgency, until 2007: by completely

Discussion Questions for The Stranger (1946); translated by Matthew Ward, 1988. Part One Chapter 1. 1. How does Camus set up Meursault's personality -- how does Meursault respond to others' conversation, to ordinary social situations, and to the death of his mother? 2. On page 10, Meursault says that at the viewing of his mother, he felt as if the elderly people there were judging him. Offer a conjecture about why he might have had that feeling.
