Brink of War

North Korea has recently cut off the military hotline with South Korea. That could mean nothing, or it could be the calm before the storm. Tensions are already high between the Korea's and just about everyone else in the world with all the threats they're dealing. The U.N. is expected to send a VERY strongly worded letter this time, to really let North Korea know how they feel. That's why we should go in and kill Kim Jong-Un. The guy is a nut.

America: World Police

Secretary of State John Kerry has announced that the United States will send $250 million to aid Egypt and it's economy. He also said that if President Mohamed Morsi uses it on economic and political reforms. The potential price tag is $450 million, already including the $250 million. John Kerry is calling it a 'good-faith effort' to help the Egyptian people. To me, this comes as no surprise, since we are the world police. $250 million, or even $450 million may not seem like a lot when it comes to our national debt, now at $16 TRILLION, but we need to worry about ourselves before anyone else.

Mexican police nab drug-launching cannon near border

It seems like Mexicans and drug cartels are getting smarter about their ways of getting drugs into the US. Smugglers have used tunnels, cars, boats, and even humans in order to traffic drugs across the border, and now they're using cannons to shoot bags of drugs onto US soil for pickup later that night. 

"Well, I've been in (law enforcement) for over 20 years, and it seems like within the last five to 10 years they have gotten really, really creative in how they bring their drugs across," said Andy Adame, special operations supervisor for the Joint Field Command Arizona of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

There has only been one cannon seized and their is no doubt that more will be found in the near future.

37 Killed in Bangladesh Riot

There are 37 confirmed dead after a riot broke out following the verdict that the leader of the largest Islamist party was sentenced to death in wake of decades-old allegations of war crimes. Delwar Hossain Sayedee was convicted of eight counts (out of the possible 20) involving killings and rapes during Bangladesh's war of independence in 1971. Delwar Hossain Sayedee was sentenced to hang by a war crimes tribunal. He is the third of seven members of the Jamaat party to be convicted of war crimes, and was the second to be sentenced to death. Dhaka was one of the cities that riots took place in, that's also where four police officers were killed.
