I’m not sure if this will work, but I’m going to try…

Medical students protesting against a government affirmative action plan for India’s lower castes try to push their way past police barricades to India’s Supreme Court in New Delhi.

I’m sooo very wowed by this picture and the caption.

Also, I heard on NPR (there I go again, trying to get smarter) that Israel used cluster bombs in Lebanon. They’ve used them before, but I first came into contact with them while I was in Laos. The US dropped them in Vietnam and then had to empty their loads over Laos on the way home.

The UN works tirelessly to try to warn people of the damage of unexploded ordnances. In Laos, they’ve worked to get people aware of what they can look like. It is very sad to read about it. Kids in Laos think they’re toys, and apparently, so do Lebanese kids. It’s heartwrenching. Here is more information: The Electronic Mine Information Network. There are organizations that work to rid the world of mines, and I think that this one is brililant: Roots of Peace. What a great idea!!
