Over the past two years, Syria has become a ground of world-wide political conflict. We are bombarded with images of extreme torture and suffering that has only worsened. The U.S. has been sending arms to the Free Syrian Army, but do we really know whose hands these weapons are ultimately falling into? Are we helping the situation, or are we aiding the perpetuation of chaos in the Middle East? The question has recently become: Should the U.S. government intervene on the civil war with military action?

Skyfall: One of the greatest Bond movies of all time
When Daniel Craig took the role of James Bond over from Pierce Brosnan, directors knew that they needed to take the series in a different direction. Yeah, maybe it was cool in the 90’s to have outlandish sequences involving invisible cars and exploding pens, but the creators and Craig knew that this Bond needed to be different.
The Bond that we have today evolved from a silly, suave secret agent into a rugged, visceral killer without a real hint of remorse, only the desire to do what is right for Queen and country. Skyfall is the latest film in the series following a true gem, Casino Royale, and a not so fantastic, Quantum of Solace. The film opens with yet another great chase scene that feels very much like Casino Royale’s parkour opening except with motorcycles.
