What new Information has emerged?

����������� The new information which has emerged is the Tamil Tigers have struck again with boats. The navy saw a group of boats coming to the coast of Pulmoddai. The group had 10 big boats, 12 small ones and 4 suicide boats. Two sailors had minor injuries.

What did I find interesting about this topic?

����������� What I found interesting about this topic was everything. The reason I say everything is because I am really interested in aircraft and boat wars. I like aircraft and boat wars because they are different from just a another war with people running at each other and things like that.

What did you like about the initial blog posting?

����������� I liked how Oscar put the information in bullet points. This made it easier for me to read and it made it look more professional because he is stating the important facts and making it look like he knows exactly what is going on. I liked how at the bottom he said that little note, “All information correct at time of post. Oscar does not stand responsible for any incorrect information.” This made me feel like he knew exactly what he was doing because he read the article, understood it, then put his information straight from that article.

“The whole is only as strong as the sum of its parts”, this is very true when you are talking about the U.N. This is true because the U.N sort of works like a body, if all of the organs don’t work together the body can’t stay alive. For example if the U.N didn’t have it’s Trusteeship it just wouldn’t work because the Trusteeship is a major organ of the U.N, it makes connections and agreements. All of the organs of the U.N help keep the U.N alive and make it a majestic organization greater than any others.
