The war in Iraq is getting out of hand. We are spending over 400 billion dollars.About 21,500 soldiers are in Iraq and many are being killed every day. The new troops that are going in will bring the numder of troops up to around 153,000. Alot of people in Iraq want our troops out of there.I think that now were in there we should finish the job.The war is about oil becase parts of Iraq are fighting.Bush says he has made a big mistake.

If I could go anywhere I would go to Hawaii because it is so nice there. I would love to live on the beach. Just to think to go out on a nice warm day and walk along the beach and collect things you find. And one of the things I would love to do was see the hoola dancers. Its a great tropical place and very very very very good place to surf. The waves are HUGE there!!! I would take some of my friends and maybe go on a cruise!If I could choose anywhere to go it would be Hawaii.

Have you ever thought of what job you would of had in medevil times? Most people were farmers and some were blacksmiths. Most were poor and had to pay taxes for the king and went to church. In the age of kings things were rough for the towns folk, they had the worst jobs and most farmers had to give their own crops to the lord just for the right to live behind the his walls and be protected from any invaders including the barberians (although there was not as many in these times). Sometimes horable plagues went around, the king and queens hardly ever got the sickness because they were treated so well, not only htat but they also kept cats to kill the mice that may carry the disease.

There are lots of things that you use every day that are made from oil. Alot of thing that are plastic and plastic is made of oil. Saudi Arabia has 25% of the worlds oil. oil is 40 percent of the words energy and if we run out we dont know what we will do. scientist are trying to make oil by using corn. There are many countries that meet and discuss the amount of money a barrel of oil is.There is a group named O.P.E.C. It stands for Organization of petrolium Exporting Countries. One barrel is about 50 gallons of oil and is 55 dollars nwo but the price always changes.The wolrd is runing low on oil and we only have about 2.6 trillion barrels left scientists say.Some people say this could be are biggest outcome to come. People are trying to cut down on gas and oil while there using it slill! I thought that was amazing was 90 % of the worlds transportation runs on petrolium!However Marlstone can be baked to 480 degrees celsius to get oil from it. The United States has many deposits for extra marlstone. A geophysicist M.king Hubbert back in 1956 says the oil production will peak. Paul Roberts says we will peak of oil in about 2030.
