President Barark Obama tried to give his reasoning for the “No Fly zone” military action in Libya, A reason that was good to interfered in the affairs of another country that was not interfering with another country. A good reason to try to knock a leader out power of said country. I checked my calendar and made sure it wasn't 2003, it sure sounded like it was 2003. “Well Gadaffy is killing is own people”, some try to reason as answer. Mr. Obama and his crew tried to make a reason of why they are sending our streched military to Libya. They are helping people called the rebels , we don't even know who they are ,they could be terrorists groups and we helping people with out full information.

Westboro Baptist Church Ruling
A Kansas church that attracted nationwide attention for its angry, anti-gay protests at the funerals of U.S. military members has won its appeal at the Supreme Court, an issue testing the competing constitutional rights of free speech and privacy.
The justices, by an 8-1 vote, said Wednesday that members of Westboro Baptist Church had a right to promote what they call a broad-based message on public matters such as wars. The father of a fallen Marine had sued the small church, saying those protests amounted to targeted harassment and an intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Gas prices were highest in Hawaii, where drivers paid $3.761 a gallon, on average. Wyoming had the lowest gas prices at roughly, $3.032 a gallon. This could effect the American economy ,which is mostly consumer spending based . Oil prices have been driven higher by political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, where much of the world's oil comes from. Despite the surge in prices this week, the amount of oil that has been taken off the world market has been relatively minimal.
