Are Teenagers Really Americans? By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com Thursday, May 24, 2012 As a former high school teacher, I know one of the great challenges in education is to get teenagers interested in their country.

It is one of the most isolated major countries in the world; it occupies an entire united continent, is difficult to invade and rarely is threatened.

Since 1900, Australia has engaged in several wars and other military or security interventions (including the Boer War, World War I, World War II and the wars ... Continue reading →

Pakistani doctor jailed for helping CIA find bin Laden A Pakistani doctor accused of helping the CIA find Osama bin Laden has been jailed for 33 years for treason, officials said, a move likely to deepen strains in ties between Washington and Islamabad. Shakil Afridi was accused of running a fake vaccination campaign believed to have helped the American intelligence agency track bin Laden in a Pakistani town, where he was killed in a U.S. special forces raid last May.

The imprisonment is likely to anger ally Washington at ... Continue reading →
