With two-hundred thirty-nine people aboard, twelve of them being crew…

Buona serata signore e signori. I am His Honorable Pope Francis's representative, representing the Angel's Land, alongside Angel's Land's Mayor. My ancestors arrived in Rome from Afghanistan. In the history of humanity, Afghanistan has been standing an unconquerable nation, and will stand an unconquerable nation until the eternity. Perhaps because the Afghans like the Italians and the Americans, never have and never will succumb to fear, regardless if fear echoing from a terrorist, a dictator, a…

This reading begins with talking about a specific event that happened during 911. An American Indian scholar named Ward Churchill publishes a controversial essay that saying all the victims in 9/11 were “little Eichmanns” (Kelly, 2016, p.240) and points out that, “9/11 attacks were provoked by decades of American military conquest in the Middle East” (Kelly, 2016, p.240). His argument enrages the public and soon he was found out that he is not even a real Indian according to his blood ancestry.…

The way the government aimed to deny these incidents ever occurred, Gourevitch and Morris deliver an in-depth perspective on the events taken place in a prison system in Abu Ghraib, located in Iraq. It’s astounding how the people whom lead our precious America could be such savages in the face of temptation.
