For The Love Of Brussels And Paris

Mr. President, your country is asking you to do what you can to save the innocent from this world terror.

For The Love Of Brussels And Paris

After what has happened in Brussels, Belgium, this past week, the world needs to unite. The tragedy in Paris, France, right before Christmas killed 129 people and injured 350; now the terrorist attack in Brussels killed people 31 people and injured 330 innocent civilians. When will there be an end to all this?

Five men played a role in taking away the lives of innocent civilians that were going on with their day the way they usually did before Tuesday. Wives kissed their husbands off to work while kids were waiting to see their parents coming home from work in the evening. Those kids are either parentless or will be raised by single parents. They will be traumatized by the memory of their homeland being terrorized for the rest of their lives. When they grow up, they will be the ones telling the generations that follow how their homeland was damaged, their home front was attacked by five men who ruined the lives of not just the 30 people they killed and the 330 people they injured; they ruined their families.

According to CNN, “'There is not that calm in between the storms we used to see,' said one U.S. official, who said typically one would expect there would be some time after an attack where others regrouped.” After the attacks, information was found that ISIS has more European cities they plan on attacking. For example, CNN reported, “A combination of electronic intercepts, human sources and database tracking indicates several possible targets had been picked out by the ISIS operatives over the last few months since the Paris attacks, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials.”

So, I am sorry, Mr. President, but when is enough going to be enough? Maybe you should stop visiting Cuba when Castro didn’t even greet you off the plane when he once even greeted the pope and be the world police you personify yourself to be. What are we supposed to do, wait around till they finally strike us on our homeland? No no no, so pardon my manners, Mr. President, but I think it's time you finally put an end to death of innocent civilians, mothers, and children dying because of your lack of effort in employing military force to stop the threat of ISIS.

It’s time we minimize our risk and come together as a nation to save our homeland and what is going to be left of Europe. So I don’t care if you are a Democrat or Republican, but in this case, we can all agree that, as absurd as it sounds, Mr. Trump has the right mentality in ending the threat to ISIS. There is no way you can justify what ISIS is doing to this world.

People constantly ask the question why are they doing this? And the truth is, no one has a clue. What do they want? World domination? All of us to convert? Get out of here. Enough is enough. Paris and now Brussels are the devastations of ISIS’ terror and what they will continue doing if we do not put an end to this. I refuse to see that happen to any other country. So, Mr. President, your country is asking you to do what you can to save the innocent from this world terror.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
