international security chiefs meet in Jerusalem

This article talks about a meeting that its objective was terrorism. The chiefs that joined this meeting discussed how to stop terrorism and how terrorists see all this as an equivalent, and how religion has a huge role in this terrorism thing.
This is important to all of us because the government is trying to find ways to stop terrorism, it should concert to all of us that terrorism hasn't stop instead the world is afraid of more terrorist attacks. I think that all the meetings that the government is doing have a goal which is stop terrorism that carries war along with it.

Pentagon: Suspected Mastermind of USS Cole Bombing Confesses

During a hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba suspect Waleed Mohammed Attash confessed to the bombing of USS Cole. He also said he helped with the planning of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 that killed 213. Suicide bombers steered an explosives-laden boat into the battleship in Oct. 12, 2000. Five days before Attash's confession, the Pentagon released a record of hearings for three other major suspects at Guantanamo. One of them was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who confessed to nearly 3 dozen plots including the 9/11 attacks. He also said he met the man who did the embassy bombings just a few hours before operation went into action. Bin Attash also said he was with bin Laden when the Cole was attacked. Said to be an Al Qaeda operational chief.I believe all these plots and attacks are pointless, they have no good reasoning behind it, what are they getting accomplished?

Yemen attacks

Two female Belgian tourists and their driver have been killed after gunmen ambushed their convoy in eastern Yemen, four other Belgians were hurt in the attack. The attackers are believe to be al-Qaeda militants. Al-Qaeda has been blamed for a series of attacks in Yemen. In July 2006 seven Spanish tourists and their two local drivers died when a suicide bomber rammed his car packed with explosives into their vehicles.

40 countries face food shortages

What this article is basically talking about is the food shortages of over 40 countries, some which have always been in a crisis are nothing new of news like in Darfur, and several parts of Asia like Korea, and China, Latin America is also suffering like El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras. Some effects which should be a good thing for some countries are affecting them in a bad way, like in Darfur which has been having several floods, rainfall , are affecting the growth of food. But yet other parts of Africa aren't lucky enough to have rainfall. So you have people moving to different places trying to get resources they need to survive.

Food shortages loom as wheat crop shrinks and prices rise

The world is running out of wheat supplies, their prices are now at a all time high since stock has fallen to their lowest levels for 50 years. This can lead to higher food prices on things like bread,biscuits , beer, and other basis foods. This can also lead to serious food shortages especially in places like Africa. This all links to the climate change, also known as global warming. The heat waves are damaging crops, interfering with wheat harvests. Its also effecting populations who consume meat products because livestock are not getting enough what they eat which is the crops. I believe that soon if something is not done there is going to be an even worse food shortages leaving people to starve. I don't believe though it isnecessary to raise food prices because it's not solving anything just creating more problems. This will soon leave people broke and unable to provide the things they need for their families and themselves and more people will become homeless.

What I learend about Food Shorages

This article says that the world is only ten weeks away from running out of wheat supplies after stocks fell to their lowest levels for 50 years.The crisis has pushed prices to an all-time high and could lead to further hikes in the price of bread, beer, biscuits and other basic foods. Experts blame climate change as heatwaves caused a slump in harvests last year in eastern Europe, Canada, Morocco and Australia, all big wheat producers.Booming populations and a switch to a meat-rich diet in the developing world also mean that about 110m tons of the world’s annual wheat crop is being diverted to feed livestock.
I think that we should try to tax the things that people buy but, it should only be things such as beer, cigarettes, and things that are known as unhealthy. They should also stop selling fast food chain restaurants. But if they cant stop them then they should tax them even higher prices.

40 contries face food shortages world wide.

Food shortages are in more then 40 countries world wide. countries like southern Asia, Australia, and Brazil. One of the main causes of the food shortages is weather. The really dry weather in some parts of the world are affecting the crops they are drying out and not being able to grow. That also relates to global warming which is causing the dry air. Another cause is the stock. There is more demand then there is supply.
I think that this can be helped if everyone just did one thing in there house hold to help out. People can stop waisting food as much and start donating. I also think that this is a very scary situation, just thinking about there not being enough food to go around for all the people of the world just makes you think "Whats really going to happen in the future?"
