Semester Deux, Blog Eleven

To be honest, I think that power and money can pretty much take over anyone. I always wondered why Obama never did anything to keep his promises, and it makes sense that because he the power to do whatever he pleases, as the president of the United States, he would want to get more power and more respect. If I were president, I would like for the United States to not only close down Gitmo, but also to get out of the Middle East. I never really understood why the United States got involved in a war there, but from what I hear on the news about what people from the Middle East think about the United States, it makes me a little afraid to still be living here. For a while after Obama became president, I was afraid of him really getting our of the Middle East because I didn't want them to then come here and kill all of us to get revenge for all of the people that American Troops killed over there. As president, there are many things I wish I could do, but I would have advisers, to inform me as to what the correct thing to do really is. I would like for the Geneva Conventions to really have control over war all over the world. I would want there to be no nuclear weapons in the world. To accomplish this, I would like to meet with leaders from all over the world and make treaties. I would like for countries all over the world to get as involved with the Geneva Conventions as possible. Of course, these thoughts are a little unrealistic and childish, but I would like for the world to be more coefficient. It would be nice if different countries would coexist in this world. It would be nice to have people be more involved with the communities, so that they are more aware of what is going on in the world. Maybe if the news focused more on what is happening world wide and what it is that individuals can do about it and less on just how depressing and hopeless we all are, then maybe the world could be different. Maybe I would only offer certain benefits to people if they have proof that they have done service to the community or to the world in one way or another, but that is just a thought. If I were president of the United States, I would try to get the citizens of the country which I represent more involved and more giving.
