Heya. This is my Shakespeare post.

Instead of renting a Shakespeare film, I went to see Norsma get nice in the Tempest. The Tempest was Shakespeare’s last play, and supposedly the most confusing. I certainly had trouble following along, but as usual, SparkNotes saved my butt. The story is about a group of people who travel via ship to Italy, and after a terrible storm, they are left stranded on an island. The language is more difficult than most Shakespeare plays, and the plot is more complex. Although the language barrior proved to be difficult in this case, I still enjoyed watching the play. There are several adaptions of this play, including the popular TV series ‘Lost’. Farewell, Shakespeare.

The U.S. needs to pull troops out of Iraq; they currently serve no purpose. Their original intention was to locate weapons of mass destruction, which proved to be non-existent. After the hype of the WMDs died down, the “new” goal was to setup a solid democracy in Iraq, which we have also done. Iraq has even held legislative elections; proving they are off to a good start. We need to get rid of the imperialist behavior we are showing towards Iraq. It is time we “set them free.” All the troops have been doing is causing conflict, killing, and dying. Their presence brings about unnecessary tention throughout Iraq, which makes it hard for civilians to get on with their lives. The U.S. should be investing its time elsewhere, as it is certainly needed more across the world.

The military has also announced that three other soldiers were killed in fighting over the weekend in Anbar province.

Eighteen US soldiers have been killed in Iraq in November, the Associated Press news agency said.

More than 100 American troops were killed in October, making it one of the bloodiest months for the US in Iraq.
