The Kurds: “Looking for a Place to Call Home”
The Kurds are considered a stateless nation because they are a nation of people but they do not have a territory that is legally theirs. 10 million Kurds in Turkey were forbidden to speak their own language. In the 1920’s and 1930’s the Kurds started to rebel and the government ended up moving many from their homelands to end the rebellion. The Kurds in Iran had a little better luck. The Kurds declared independence in 1946 however, it only lasted a few months. In Iraq the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq, Mullah Mustafa Barrzani tried to get Kurds independence threw war and peace treaties. However when Shah of Iran stopped supporting them the Kurdish resistance virtually collapsed ending the desperate attempt for freedom. The Kurds in Iran, Iraq and Turkey are still fighting to become a state but at the moment they don’t legally own any land and are still a stateless nation.

Why Can’t We All Just Get Along??
The relationship between the Unites States and Southwest Asia varies from country to country. United States relationship with Yemen started out good. The United States recognized the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen on December 7,1967. The relationship took a turn for the worse however when PDRY was on the list of nations that supported terrorism. United States relationship with Oman is strong and very important. The United States has had relations with Oman since the beginning of American Independence. United States and Oman’s relations deepened when two new treaties were formed in the 1980’s. One helped out Oman because the United States gave them economic support and the other helped out the United States because the United States got access to Oman’s military. Keeping a good relationship with Saudi Arabia is important to the United States because Saudi Arabia has a largo portion of the world’s oil. Also, Saudi Arabia’s military support has helped the United States with different events such as Operation Iraqi Freedom. The United States relationship with Iran is an ugly one. The United States prohibits trading goods with Iran for a number of reasons. The United States has a bad relationship with Iran because Iran supports international terrorism, does not want peace in the Middle East, is disparately trying to obtain nuclear weapons, and dismisses the human rights record. The United States also has a strained relationship with Syria because the support terrorism and Syria is a safe haven for terrorist. The United States has a good relationship with Israel. Israel and the United States have a culture and historical ties which has been beneficial for Israel because the United States tries its best to help protect them. Over the years the relationship between the two countries has strengthened. United States relationship with the Middle East is different from country to country. In some cases the United States and the Middle East help each other out and in other they are enemies.

49 hours and 46 minutes to go
but who's counting?
I just thought I'd let you know
I filled my head with your voice
and now I'm drowning
well I wrote this song for you
You can stay tonight and make everything alright
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right
Tell me whats its like to be alone...
And we had this down...unlike everybody
well I'll spend a million nights
just like tonight
You know I screamed your name at the sky
until I lost my voice
well I'd give my life for you
You can stay tonight and make everything alright
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right
tell me whats it like to be alone
(Let's go)
(You can Stay Tonight...)
You can stay tonight and make everything alright
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right
Tell me whats it like to be...
You can stay tonight (You can stay Tonight)
Make everything alright (Everything)
Cause Im alright (If you'd stay tonight)
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right
Tell me whats it like... to be alone

these are the times when memeorise are made
and we go down into the history books
are you how you wanna be remembered?
are you the perfect image of you?
is there sercets that are haunting you?
nows the perfect time to say them
nows the perfest time
these are the times when we fall in love
and we feel things we never felt before
and we feel like we can never crash and burn
never fall down to the ground again...
these are the times things happen
and are lives are changed
sometimes mistakes are made
sometimes choces are decided
that well never let us be the same
these are the times...
these are the times....
these are the times...
that make us grow up

He ran his f i n g e r s through his hair
Like a wilted Charles Baudelair
Sitting curled up in a c h a i r
In an empty old café.
He l i f t e d up a chewed-up pen
And thought of who he might have been
Then he put the thing back down again
And he put his pad away
He saw a girl walk through the d o o r
He thought he m u s t have seen before
His eyes met hers but he wanted more
So he moved as if to speak
But he stopped h i m s e l f without a word
The whole damn thing was too absurd
He snuffed whatever fire stirred
He felt he was too weak
He saw her look at him
And he saw her look away
It was a perfect ending to a less than perfect day
A girl walked through the snow supine
Like Dorthy Parker full of wine
Through squinted eyes she saw the sign
Of an empty old café
She hadn’t eaten once all day
She had no cash but she had a way
She’d get some food then she’d run away
It was a game she like’d to play
She went inside and she saw a guy
She thought she knew but shedidn’t know why
She looked at him ‘till he caught her eye
Then she turned away her gaze
Her mind kept drifting to a time
When she knew a man with words and rhyme
But her memory was too sublime
To taint with present haze
She saw him look at her
And she had to look away
It was a perfect ending to a less than perfect day
He saw her look at him
And he saw her look away
It was a perfect ending to a less than perfect day
She turned around and went out the door
The snow fell h a r d e r than before
He sat quite still but his heart stood up
As the waitress filled his coffee cup
She looked at him and smiled
She saw him look at her
And she had to look away
It was a perfect ending to a less than perfect day
yea thats in my userinfo im proud it took forever to do. lol!
