STUDY FINDS CANADIANS MOSTLY MADE OF PLASTIC Ottawa, Canada – Canada has never been a major player on the world stage. The people of the nation have made valuable and even important contributions to the world. Things like the UN peacekeeping force, standard time, Hockey, and Celine Dion have contributed world culture but the country has nonetheless remained a quaint and quiet little nation. Replete in natural beauty and populated by friendly and genial people, but not the kind of country that has had a major impact on the world stage no matter how well liked or even loved the Maple Leaf has become. PAKISTAN FLOODING LEAVES MILLIONS WET AND ANNOYED: U.N. Islamabad, Pakistan – The vast majority of people never have to endure a major natural disaster in their lives. Sure there are huge thunderstorms or blinding snow storms or even the occasional earthquake but the real disasters, the type that kill hundreds and destroy homes are something the vast majority of people never have to experience. Some though are subject to those disasters over and over again by virtue of where they have chosen, or have no choice, to live and suffer Mother Nature’s wrath over and over again. ISRAEL ISSUED DOUBLE DARE ON IRAN ATTACK Washington, D.C. – War is never an easy thing even for people who have only known conflict. Even in situations where war seems morally and ethically justified it is still a hard decision for many countries to make. That hesitation is always complicated, a matter of domestic politics, foreign relations, and having the resources to ensure a victory but there are other, less tangible reasons for such reticence. War after all means death and no matter the advantage on paper circumstances can alter an altercation in strange and unexpected ways meaning that war can always go wrong.

THE MOST ISOLATED MAN IN THE WORLD ‘KIND OF A JERK’ Brasilia, Brazil – The Earth is full of mysteries both natural and unnatural. Strange lights in the sky, un- catalogued mega fauna, and secret government organizations capture people’s imaginations and drive intrigue. There are some mysteries however that a far more sublime, far less sexy than such situations and some revolve around human beings themselves. Our early ventures from the savannahs of Africa were undocumented and completely disorganized and while the bulk of human beings eventually congregated in large tribes, a few remained isolated and are still today outside of the wider human experience. U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL IMPRESSED WITH SCALE OF DESTRUCTION IN PAKISTAN Islamabad, Pakistan – It is impossible to truly experience the sheer human toll that natural disasters can bring while watching video or seeing pictures. Because of common experience we can empathize with the pain and suffering beset upon people but unless we experience it firsthand the sheer enormity cannot be fathomed and in the case of the massive flooding in Pakistan that is particularly true. With limited coverage throughout most of the world the scale of the destruction is something that few people understand, including the Secretary General of the U.N. Ban Ki-moon. CHINESE SUPER WEAPON TO DECIDE THE FATE OF THE PACIFIC Beijing, China – There are a few territories in the world that have long been fought over and sought after. The Holy Land is perhaps the best example of such land lust. For centuries the territory has changed hands and been the epicentre of bloodshed, from King David to Yasser Arafat, men have lusted over the region and many millions have died in trying to capture the land. The Holy Land though is primarily an obsession of Europe and the Middle East. The rest of the world has been preoccupied with their own conquests and their own victories.
