- 4281: Persian Gulf War-the Feat Of The Western Countries
- ... by Iraqi dictatorial president Saddam Hussein. His aim was apparently to take control Kuwait's oil reserves (despite its small size Kuwait is a huge oil producer; it has about 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves ). Iraq accused Kuwait, and also the United Arab Emirates, of breaking agreements that limit oil production in the Middle East. According to Saddam Hussein, this brought down world oil prices severely and caused financial loss of billions of dollars in Iraq's annual revenue. Saddam Hussein had the nearly hopeless task of justifying the invasion. He plead the fact that Kuwait had been part of the Ottoman province of Basra, a city in the south of Iraq. However, the Ottoman province collapsed after World War I and today's Iraqi borders were not created until then. There was also a further and more obvious blunder in a bid to justify this illegal invasion. Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, ...

- ... James Byrd Jr. was not a random act of violence. King, Berry, and Brewer were on a mission, a mission they were brainwashed with after years of exposure to white supremacist ideology: to rid the world of evil by disposing of all blacks (Levin 89).

Surprising to many, the town of Jasper did not erupt in racial conflict after the murder; instead blacks and whites joined together in prayer vigils, rallies, and discussion groups, showing the world that what happened in Jasper hurt and outraged all the town’s people, not just its blacks (Bragg A8).

- 4283: Malaria
- ... are also using control measures, such as spraying DDT to kill mosquitoes, draining stagnant water, and using the widespread use of nets to contain the mosquito itself (Herman, 1996). Because of the worsening situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared malaria control to be a global priority (Limited Imagination, 1996). Although limiting the spread of malaria is not easy, finding a cure has presented several problems in recent years. One main reason finding a cure for malaria is so hard is that different strains in different parts of the world require different drugs, all of which soon lose their effectiveness as the parasite evolves resistance to them (Limited Imagination, 1996). Secondly, once the parasite enters the human bloodstream, it changes form several times inside the body, making it an elusive target for the immune system (Cann, 1996). Last, while research and development is very expensive, Africa’s third world countries don’t have the money to support such research (Graham, 1996). Research in the field of malaria’s microbiology enables a search for better vaccines and a possible cure for malaria (Atovaquone, 1996). ...
