It is interesting to see how different countries follow UN principles. Thailand has designated neighborhoods as "live fire zones." This puts people in a bit of trouble. As it is mentioned in the article troops may think that it is just a zone to shoot, but Thailand has three laws for the use of firearms.

This is quality journalism. In our world the coral reefs are unique ecosystems that consists of thousands of species. This article gives detail on what the effects of CO2 is causing.

I believe that we should start doing something about this. Ecosystems are disappearing and we really need to start doing something about it. A diverse ecosystem should not pay the price for what is happening to our world with CO2 emissions.

I do think that the Government of Haiti had the right in doing so. Eleven days passed and many of the people that could be rescued, were rescued. It is hard to tell your people that the search is over, but it was something that needed to be done.
