Extra Credit-News discussion

We discussed about the Afgan President about how the voting was rigged and that he has no support in the United States. We talked about how afgan wasn't a nation; but that it is a bunch of tribal groups that have different languages and beliefs. There are a bunch of long standing rivalries. The british tried and failed and russia did as well. We have had troups in there since '02. The lady who was leading the discussion has a former student going to Iraq and Afganistan to teach the Nato Nation.

We also talked about how China didn't suffer like most companies through the recession but that it might get hit hard here soon. Labor costs are a lot cheaper over there and that's why Ford sold Volvo to China for cheaper than they bought it.
