      Unfortunately,
      when

      we

      how

      is
      the
      information
      we
      are

      Much
      of

      foreign
      news
      comes
      from

      of

      10

      tions
      in
      the
      Middle

      Think
      of
      what
      we
      associate
     
     
      when
      we
      hear
      the
      names
      Norriaga
      or
      Hussain.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Why
      do
      we
      associate
      certain
      thing
      with
      certain
      people.
     
     
      or
      situations?
      It
      is
      because
      that
      is
      the
      picture
      that
      the
     
     
      mass
      media
      try
      to
      sell
      us.
      That
      is
      the
      picture
      we
      are
     
     
      also
      believing.
      It
      would
      be
      great
      to
      hear
      the
      news
     
     
      from
      other
      perspectives,
      weather
      from
      other
      countries
     
     
      or
      from
      other
      groups,
      I
      am
      sure
      that
      their
      story
      would
     
     
      be
      justas
      believable.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Remember,
      don’t
      believe
      everything
      you
      hear.
      It
      may
     
     
      not
      be
      as
      it
      appears.
      Everything
      has
      two
      sides,
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      news
      only
      shows
      one.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      And
      that’s
      the
      way
      it
      isn’t.
