The Fight Between North and South Korea

North Korea and South Korea are still at war. South Korea did a military exercise at the island where the dispute about the two sides border began. Is South Korea trying to threaten North Korea or are they afraid. All I can say is the war has began.

While South Korea was doing a military drill, North Korea retaliated. North Korea was threatening war if one of these were to happen again. North Korea turned this drill into a violent battle. People who have visited North Korea like Bill Richardson say North Korea is like a tinderbox. He says the US should give the North an option to strip away it's nuclear weapons in return for survival.

North Korea and South Korea are head to head in the military. North Korea may have the more man power with over 1 million man power with South Korea's 600,000. They also got more submarines and missiles, but the South have more fighter jets and US troops. The big factor is the budget. The North has a 5 billion budget while the South has a 25 billion dollar budget.

Will this threaten war? We may never know,but we may have to wait and see.

Should We Put A Price on the Polar Bear

The polar bear is an amazing bear for all of us to see. It's white and shiny fur makes it unique and endangered. This bear lives in the arctic north which makes it vulnerable to global warming. Yet, should we demote the bear to a price. Well thats what the Canadian government is doing.

The government has sent EcoResources Consultants to go tally up the cost of protecting the bear. This will help the government to determine whether or not the government should protect the polar bear or not. In essence they're trying to see how much a polar bear would cost to the economy. This might be good, in my opinion, it will show the government that the polar bear is important and has a value with only 15,000 left in Canada. If we don't do this, what will happen when everyone forgets about the polar bear? Won't there be a zero dollar price tag for it then?

Currently the bear is not protected in Canada, but not all are keen to this idea. In the meantime EcoResources has until February 2011 to present it's report telling the government whether it should protect it or not.
