The Obama administration has warned Americans that there have been some terrorists threats in Europe. Europe has urged the U.S. to be cautious of public places like tourist spots and transportation hubs. The European government have taken into consideration and action to guard a terrorist attack. "The terrorist threat exists, and could hit us at any moment," said French defense minister, Herve Morin, in an interview published Sunday. "Networks organizing themselves to prepare attacks are constantly being dismantled around the world. It is good for the French to know this," he was quoted as saying in the daily Le Parisien. According to the alert the U.S. have to take precaution and awareness of their surroundings when traveling. All this can affect Europe and their tourism and business travel. There are hundreds of Americans in Europe at all kinds of locations. The Pakistani official said the suspects are hiding in North Waziristan, a Pakistani tribal region where militancy is strong and where the U.S. has focused many of its drone-fired missile strikes.
This is bad for both the U.S. and Europe. there a lot of Americans that tour that country and their lives can be at stake. As for Europe, this means that it can cut down on their tourism, and a lot of businesses can get shut down. It puts them in a big position because now the terror threats are being set for Europe. The U.S. still has to worry because there are tourists, students, and business people that travel there a lot. It is said that Osama Bin Laden is the one that is behind the terror threats and plots to attack several European cities. If this is true this will be another big role that Bin Laden has played in since September 11, 2001.

"Freedom of Religion"
A 14-year old student, Ariana Lacono, was given a suspension from school for wearing a nose ring. That nose ring was against the school's dress code. But to her, that ring is brought to the first amendment to express freedom of religion. Ariana says,"I think it's kind of stupid for them to kick me out of school for a nose piercing,It's in the First Amendment for me to have freedom of religion." So honestly, i think it is pathetic that the school suspended her. I mean if it is against the school dress code then i think it would have been fine to speak with the family of the student. The school and the family could have came down to some sort of an agreement. But what about other religions? whats about for students who are Jewish and wear that little hat. Are they allowed to wear that, or are they going to have some days of suspension?
