China prepares for future war?
Over the last couple of weeks as we have been talking about communist China, I mentioned several times that China was probably our biggest rival. So much so that they are taking careful notes of our tactics in Iraq. This San Diego Union Tribune article details the potential for a conflict with China.

Semester Notes
Since your lecture notes were not collected with the first two assignment logs, I am sure that many of you did not keep them. I have graciously posted all of the notes for the semester. You may view them, print them, or download them between now and Friday. After that time, they will be removed.

For your viewing convenience, I have posted them in three different formats (only click on one, they are all the same).
  • PDF Recommended (you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this one)
  • DOC (you need Microsoft Word to view this one)
  • HTM (any can view this one - it is a web page)

Enjoy. Please study. Study with other students, it helps.

Rwanda marks genocide anniversary from the BBC.

The Rwandan genocide took place only ten years ago. The people of that nation are no doubt still recovering. Read the above article for details.
