Uncertain

It is easy to look at war from a negative point of view. It is so easy that a person who has never been in a war can describe vividly why war should not exist. If war is so negative then why do sound men who have experienced the effects of war still have their country go into war once they are in a position of power? What are the positives that comes out of war? One of the positive effects of war is change. These are the questions that I will try to decipher in my blogs.  I will try to offer my insight and give both side of a story.  I will not be pessimistic nor will I be optimistic in my writings. Rather, I will try to be realistic and provide a foundation for my questionings and answers.

The sources that I will use to feed my blog will be Al Jazeera, BBC World News, USA Today, Taipei Times, and The Age World headlines. Although BBC World News is considered to less biased compare to other media source, I chose to have numerous source of media because most of the time, the stories that appear on their website also appears in another website. By reading the same story from different media source, it will help me to different what is factual and what is biased reporting. In addition, I have chosen Michael Yon Magazine for my military blog and two websites called “The Editor’s Desk” and “Tara’s Tale” for my military podcast. Michael Yon has written extensively about the war and his writings has also appeared in the New York Times. I am looking for to reading his work. As for the “Editor’s Desk” and “Tara’s Tale”, I have heard some of reporting on their website and the coverage that the website have covers diverse topics. I am also looking forward to listening to their website.
