After 9/11 We Should Have Bombed Afghanistan Until The Country Was A Flat Wasteland
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Freedom represents many things, not the least of which is the envy and hatred of those who do not have – or want others to have – the precious commodity for which Americans live and die. The terrorist attacks upon the World Trade Center and Pentagon reflect the loathing that stems from severe oppression, backwards thinking and a desire to rid the world of those not deemed worthy. With absolutely no regard for human life, Osama bin Laden orchestrated an assault upon a country where freedom and democracy reign supreme, trying his best to break America at its very foundation. This unconscionable and calculated act of fanaticism in the name of quelling America's fervor for global domination did not warrant the moderate counterattack the United States made upon Afghanistan; rather, it was a call for the US to completely annihilate the source of terrorism.

Agency and Employee Accountability in Cases of Negligence: The Legal Issues of Employee Credibility and Training
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page assertion that our educational arena has been subject to many challenges and disappointments. At the center of many of these is the issues of employee credibility and training.

This paper utilizes the Supreme Court cases of Monroe Vs Pape (1961), Monell Vs Dept of Social Services (1978), City Of Oklahoma Vs Tuttle (1984), Daniels Vs Willaims (1986), Davidson Vs Cannon (1986), and City of Springfield Vs Kibbe (1987) to add insight to that question.
