Why Washington Worries

From this article, the reasons for the difficulties with foreign relations are that George W. Bush and his committee made it harder for us to deal with those foreign policies. What makes it so tough is that George Bush has put America in a position where we cannot just leave other countries to fend for themselves. We have committed to make an obligation to help out the other countries. If we don't help a certain country, then another will take action and start making nuclear bases and weapons. Just like Iran, Russia supplies Iran with the supplies it needs to create nuclear threats.

Pres. Obama needs to keep on the road he is going and change foreign policy. He needs to because, like the article said, if we keep going in the direction we are going, we will have a system that won't work, against a threat that doesn't exist, paid for with money that we don't have."

Summary of Animal Testing Articles

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2008-02-14-animal-tests_N.htm

The first article talks about how three U.S. agencies (the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Toxicology Program and the National Institutes of Health) are thinking about ending animal testing. They say in it very ineffective and not a safe environment for aninmals to be in. With this researched article, they have researched that testing on animals is unsafe and an ineffective process because animals react differently than humans do. The conversion of this act is going to take about ten years. Also, to test 2,500 compounds, it can take up to 30 years!!!
