        <![CDATA[<p>In a <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101122/ts_nm/us_mexico_crime_summit">story</a> about crime in Mexico, I asked a student named Alex, who is half Mexican, if he think that portrays a bad image on the Mexican culture. He said he doesn't believe so, particularly because Mexicans are not targeted heavily on the crime issue on America. He also said it is in Mexico, and there are Americans who commit crime in America, so it happens everywhere in every culture and country. He also said since it involved the U.N. and drugs that it made it a bigger story than it would normally have been. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>President Obama said Saturday in Lisbon that he hopes to start relieving troops from Afghanistan by July.</p>

<p>Obama spoke at the two-day NATO summit where he spoke about his transition out of Afghan goals, which he wants complete by 2014, the <a href="http://www.twincities.com/national/ci_16669900">Washington Post</a> reported. </p>

<p>Pakistan backed the NATO timeline but cautioned the timeline because of security concerns. </p>

<p>Pakistan is crucial for the U.S. because its border areas are sanctuaries, and training grounds for al Qaeda and the Taliban, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSSGE6AK01I20101121?pageNumber=2">Reuters</a> reported. </p>

<p>Some NATO countries are planning to start giving up security responsibility according to a timeline like Obama's. The Netherlands already have, and Canada is planning on changing from combat to training roles. <br />
