The european union and IMF on Monday agreed to bailout Greece with loans up to 110 billion euros ($146 billion), if the government of Greece would  cut their public spending. This bailout should help the government  meet its obligations. But, it is not clear that it will prevent a fall out in the European markets. The agreements that the countries have come to is a payment plan that will happen over 2 years and total over 110 billion euros. The IMF will be helping with this bailout package, however, the amount and terms of the IMF deal is still unclear.

In my opinion this is not a bailout , but rather a bandage. The countries of europe and the rest of the world are feeling these events again. We have to stop covering up these situations and fix them. It is like a dam with a hole in it. You plug one hole and another opens. I think that sometimes you have to let it all go and then rebuild. The sooner we do it the better we are in the long run.

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11

On September 11th, 2001 the world stood still as we watched an horrific terrorist attack on the United States of America.  The Pentagon and The World Trade Centre were attacked.  Over 90,000 firefighters, police officers and volunteers rushed to help those people who were trapped in the World Trade Centre in New York.  The ripple of this attack was felt around the world...it was an attack on every country who stands for freedom.  The 10th Anniversary events on September 11, 2011 is a major current event. 

I believe that this event is an opportunity for remembrance and reflection.  I was seven years old when this happened and it is hard for me to remember that day.  I do know how powerful and sad this event was.  We must remember the event and the lives that were lost but we must also remember why we fought back.  Our freedom is worth fighting for and as we move forward we must learn from our past and work to find peace in a world where we all may live without fear.
