    The War in Iraq
Fifteen Iraqi soldiers died last Friday while carrying transporting bombs in the back of a truck. The bombs ignited and killed all the men on the truck. They confiscated the bombs from a disposal area in northern Iraq and east of Mosul. Iraqi soldiers frequently take controlled explosions away from the residential area. Mosul is one of the few remaining countries where there is still routine violence. Violence in Iraq has reached its highest number of violent deaths in August. Iraqi government figures show that there has been 393 civilian death and 60 Iraqi police officers and soldiers have died to in that month.
Who: Iraqi soldier
What: 15 Iraqi soldiers died from a bomb being transported and ignited in the truck, they took it away from a residential area, the soldiers usually dont do this so they weren't careful, all the men were killed in the truck but didn't hurt anyone around the moving truck, Mosul still has a routine amount of violence.
where: In Mosul in northern Irao
When: September 18, 2009
Why: The soldiers weren't carful with it because they thought it was an old bomb that wouldn't ignite.

The Organization of the Government

1. They were in affect for about 6000 days. The document had six pages
2. There is a legistlative branch, a judicial branch, and a executive branch.Each branch helpes and checkkes each other. The legislative branch makes the laws, the excutive ok's the, and the judicial passes them.
3.The judicial branch has the supreme court which passes and enforces the laws, they have 9 justices and they check and see if the laws are constitutional, they check on the executive branch and the legislative branch. The executive branch has to sign or decline the laws that they get from the legislative branch, they also enforce the laws that they get from the legisltive branch, and they check up on the other two branches. The legislative branch or congress has two parts, the senators and the representatives, each state has 2 senators and they have how many representatives on how big they're population is. The legislative branch makes laws for the president and the judicial branch to check and ok, they can remove the judges from office for misconduct, and they cna also remove the president for misconduct too.
4. The supreme court says wheather or not the law is constitional.
5. The people can then vote as a state about the law that they want.
6.I think that there should be no school on fridays. There shouldn't be any scholl on fridays because most of the time on fridays we dont get any homework so why go to school. Istead we can have a longer weekend to rest our brains and do stuff fun. We could have more time to work on longer assignment like stories and research papers. It could also give the teachers a rest to. The teachers could get caught up on grading papers and plan there lessons for the classes. If we dont have school on fridays kids that are behing in school culd also get cautght up on there assignments to.
7. The voting is different today because there are alot more people who vote now and not just 360 people would vote. Our record would look different because it would be much longer and more people would be on it.
