Japanese officials report that one the there last efforts that they will make to stop the nuclear contamination from spreading, will be to bury the plant in sand and concrete. This radical idea may be the last resort that they will have to end up using. U.S. officials believe that burying the plant will do nothing and the most important thing to do right now is to cool down the plant.

I believe that the most important thing to do now is to stop the reactors from leaking anymore radiation. They need to cool them down and get the water pumps working again. After that U.S. and Japanese officials should all re assess what should be done.

Week 9
Strict Rules of Engagement Slow Troops Advance
The Troops in Afghanistan are now facing a new challenge. They have new rules of engagement that limit who they can engage. If someone is shooting at soldier and then puts down his gun and runs, or troops are not allowed to engage or arrest that person. There is also no longer any quick air support. If air support is called it can take up to an hour to have that support actually be effective. This is being done to protect and gain support from the civilians in Afghanistan.

I think that these rules are stupid. They say this is to protect Agahn civilians, but what about our own troops. They are now going to be in a more dangerous situation than before. The rule of no close air support is going to cost American troops their lives. They only call on close air support if they need it and now if it wont come quickly, the result will be more American tragedies.
