Can people stop the fighting in Iraq?

They said that the only people that could stop the fighting is politicians. The prime minister of Iraq named Nouri al Maliki or Jawad al Maliki. Nouri al Maliki characterized the situation of Iraq as a political crisis. He also stated that the politicians are the only people that can stop the bloodshed of innocent people in Iraq. He was put under alot of pressure when the Shiites killed 200 in Baghdad. He stated to a reporter that "realize there are no winners or losers in this battle" he was talking about the politicians. He said this at The National Security Council. The Shiites killed 200 in Baghdad's Sadr City. They want the politicians of the Shiits and the Sunni's plus the Kurdish to meet and come to a treaty. It is way harder than it seems. Muqtada al-Sadr is threating to withdraw support from al Maliki. He is also supposed to meet with Bush later this week. "We announce that if the security situation and the basic services do not improve, and if the prime minister goes ahead and meets with the criminal Bush in Amman, then we will suspend our memberships with the Iraqi parliament and the government" said al Akeili. This is a big quote said by Akeili. They want president Bush to pull out the troops but I do not see why we should when there is a lot of killing going on.
"It is better to bite the bullet and start to pull our troops out today." Carpender

"Last month, political violence killed 3,700 civilians in Iraq and this month’s toll may be higher" Faruqui

The assassination of William McKinley

William McKinley was are 25th President of the United States. William was known as a weak president to some and he did not handle the crisis of Spain that well. William got assassinated on September 6th 1901. The man that shot president McKinly with a small revolver was named Leon Frank Czolgosz. The last couple years of Czolgosz life he was influenced by a group called Anarchism. A person that was part of this group was named Emma Goldman. William McKinnly might of not died but the doctors did not no where the bullet was. He got shot at Pan-American Exposition of Buffalo. In NewYork they had a top of the line machine called the x-ray machine. If they would have took him to NewYork they would have saved his life or they would have a better chance. When I thought of William McKinnly dieing I thought he died instantly but in this case he died a few days after.

There is only 2 buildings left and they are Palace of Fine Arts and World's Congress Auxiliary Building. All of the other buildings were just made to be temperorary. The temporary buildings were not made of stone like they were suppossed to. Instead they did a mixture of plaster and hemp. This was called staff. This staff was spray painted white and this made it look like a gleam. It was called the white city.
"But the greatest Exposition fountain of them all praised with an extravagance that is disconcerting today" Appelbaum 15
