Today in CWI we went over the Europe map. Mr. Bruns said that we need to start working on this on our own. Next we watched a video on Obama winning the Nobel Peace prize. He got it because of what he stands for. Teddy Roosevelt and Widrow Wilson were the only other presidents that got the Nobel peace prize.We had to finish our discussion from yesterday. We talked about the united nations. They aim to stop wars. It started in 1945 after WW2. Next we talked about Muhammad Ahmadinejad. He does not consider Israel as a state. He wants free elections. Iran’s nuclear program was next. It started in the 1950's with the help of the U.S and western European intelligence. The U.S and western European helped them until 1979. According to Iran’s leader they are making a nuclear program to make energy. Iran has admitted they are making nuclear weapons recently. When Ahmadinejad came in to power they stopped listening to the U.S. They discovered they were making it in 2003. Iran’s role in Iraq it what we talked about next. Iran has been supplying Iraq with weapons to fight the U.S. Iran has been denied doing this. Iran is becoming the new problem. The hostage crisis was in 1979. The Iran military came into the capital of Iran and took 70 Americans captive and kept them for 474 days. They were freed on the day when Ronald Regan took presidency.
