Afghan Girls article

"Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School" is very disturbing and interesting article. This article is about how the Taliban is destroying the The Afghan schools all because they don't believe that girls should get a education. According to the article there has been several attacks against the girls in the school there was a team that used a spray bottle, another a squirt gun, another a jar. They hit 11 girls and 4 teachers. The Taliban was suspected to be the ones behind this but they denied any part of it. The head boss of the school Mr. Qadari tried to comfort the parents by telling them to let there daughters to come back to school, However his three daughters go to school abroad.

I think it is a bit hypocrtitical of Mr. Qadari to tell the parents that it is safe for there children to return to school, when his children are going to school abroad. I think if he really believed that it was safe then his kids would be going to that school instead of going to school abroad. I think that it is very sad that girls have to go through this just because they want a education for themselves. In the article girl who was attacked told the author that her parents are forcing her to go to school even if she dies, so its not like she has a choice if she wants to go or not; All because no other woman in her family has a education which is the case with most of the girls that attend that school. I believe that it is very dumb that the men don't want women to have an education i think that is only not bad for them but bad for the world because it really go's to show how much rowing up some parts need.

Oprah addresses her regrets on O.W.N

Monday morning on CBS This Morning April 2nd 2012 Oprah spoke very openly about her regrets about her network O.W.N. It was recently made known that Oprah has fired more than 20% of her O.W.N staff and the cancellation of The Rosie Show and for the first time she was very open about he ups and downs of her new network. Oprah admitted her networ started a bit to soon she referred to her network as "Getting married when you know your not ready" she also stated that if she was writing a book about this journey she would name it 101 mistakes. during the interview she said she would not throw in the towel on the network because "I'm a very driven person, I believe that i am here to fulfill a calling" she said "I will die doing what I love to do." during the CBS interview Oprah acknowledged the negative press the network has been receiving referring to it as "Overwhelming". Oprah made it very cear that the network cannot just be about her it has to be based off of her philosophy. She ended the interview with "I feel better about our network today than I ever have."

As a viewer and a fan of Oprah and O.W.N I enjoyed that interview because for as long as the network has ben on Oprah has never addressed the downs of her network so it was suprising to hear finally speak about it. I totally agree with her and also think that the network started to early perhaps if she would have waited until The Oprah Winfrey Show was completely over to start the network. I think that the network got off to such a rocky start because Oprah was trying to focus on two dfferent things, the show was in its last season and the pressure was on for it to be the best one of 25 years and at the same time her network launched and there was such high expectations for it to be great. I think had Oprah waited maybe another year should would have been able to take a break after the show and do it the right way.
