Current Event 1: Iran tests missiles amid nuclear tension

I read an article on CNN.com about Iran testing missiles and other nuclear warfare. Iran has been running tests code-named "Payghambar-e Azam 4" or "The Great Prophet 4". Missiles were fired around the country Sunday. They have tested short-range missiles, medium-range missiles, and plan to test long-range missiles. The U.S and Israel believe that Israel is seeking nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program, but Iran denied this.
Iran becoming a nuclear power is making the United States nervous for several reasons. This could unbalance the world's power, and we aren't exactly sure of Iran's intentions. We are afraid that they might try to use their weapons on Israel, who we are strong supporters of. Iran's nuclear weapons could cause great chaos and destruction.

Poilitical Party

I don't know much about politics, and I would normally just choose the candidate whose morals and values I agree with, their political party not affecting my decision. But if I had to pick a political party, I would probably say I am most closely aligned with the Green party. The Green party is based on the principles of environmentalism, grassroots democracy (giving power to the people in the community), nonviolence, and social justice causes. I agree with all of these principles. I am concerned about the conservation and improvement of our environment. People should be more environmentally aware and careful. I think the power belongs to the people, and we should be able to make decisions that are going to affect us directly. I believe that nonviolent revolutions and protests can be just as effective as violence and war but without all the casualties. Lastly, I believe that all people should be treated equally no matter their ethnicity. Everyone deserves equal treatment and opportunity. All these principles are very important to those people of the Green party and to myself.
