A recent news story that I found interesting was Hillary Clinton’s talk at a Russian college. Earlier this week, she met and talked with the president about arms control, Afghanistan, and Iran and its nuclear weapons. That resulted in nothing, the president agreed to nothing. This conclusion makes me ask why. I want to know a reason why Russia doesn’t care about terrorism, or is it that they just don’t care for the United States. I agree with Hillary in thinking that it is because they sill have resentment toward the U.S. because of the cold war. This is bad sportsmanship in my mind. Forgive and forget is what I think they should have done. If it is the other way around and they really don’t care about the terrorists, then they need to wake up, because they don’t just have one target, the whole world is there target.

So, obviously not liking this, Hillary gave a speech to next generation Russians, college kids. She talked to them about their country’s grudge against the U.S. and how we should get over it, let the past be the past and move on to the future. I think that this is a good idea. If only we could all get along, but that is really not an option, since the human race is violent by nature. I hope that these young people can learn to do the right thing, which is to stick up for what they believe in, if they don’t hold grudges, and stick up for weapon control if you believe in weapon control.

I think that terrorism is a huge issue; I also think that if all the countries who want to bring it down ban together we can stop it. We could put an end to some people’s constant fear that an attack will happen near them or to someone near them or that they will somehow create nuclear weapons and become even more dangerous. If we put an end to all threats, maybe we can start anew, all be allies and get along, just like I have always wanted. Hillary also thinks that it is wrong or Russia to turn us down because of a past grudge toward the United States.

So, after reading this article, I still have a question that is unanswered. I would like to know if terrorists are at all threatening to Russia and it they are, why not try to put a stop to them?
