Comments - The Civil Report

The Civil Report delved straight into the topic of Obama and his promise
and goal to wipe the world free of nuclear weapons. The Civil Report did
remind the reader that Obama stated it would be an important objective to
reach. The Civil Report made it clear that before Obama’s promise could
happen, Republicans need to be onboard. I as the reader found it very
important that the Civil Report reflected that help was need and
cooperation of the Republicans. Both political parties needed to work
together. It gave the reader direction of what type of relationship
Democrats and Republicans have in order to make thing happen, both be in
agreement and what’s in it for me. I would have liked the Civil Report to
talk about the old agreement and new agreement more, especially in detail
of what the agreements have to offer and what exactly did Obama want to
ratify. This way either a reader with knowledge or without knowledge of
Obama’s plan would give us more insight on the topic. I myself was not
aware of Obama and his goal to rid the world of nuclear weapons. That is
why I chose this blog to learn about a topic I was not aware of. The Civil
Report made the reader aware of Obama’s promise to the Republican’s of
spending $100 billion to renovate the nations nuclear weapons facilities
for their cooperation. This makes the reader aware of what trades need to
be made between political parties, to get things done. The Civil Report did
research as to informing us the reader that Obama’s promise to the
Republicans would ensure a reduction of the nation’s nuclear stockpile. I
would have liked to read about what nations actually held nuclear weapons
and how Obama would, in steps establish this process of a world free of
nuclear weapons.
The Civil Report did a good job on informing their opinion about U.S.
wasteful spending and the waste of modernizing expensive nuclear
facilities. We could feel the writers annoyance and firm standing on
spending more billions. I agree with the Civil Report about using the money
on more important programs especially in this economy.


I was excited in reading the first sentence of this blog. I was
disappointed that the Civil Report did not go over, even briefly what the
old and new agreement entailed. I as a reader was looking for more
knowledge by reading this blog. I would have liked to see more comparisons,
statistics or facts on the issue. I do applaud the Civil Report’s
straightforwardness on how they felt about spending and the issue at hand.
I would have liked to read more about the nations that cause a real threat
to the U.S. The Civil Report mentioned North Korea and Iran but I was
looking for the reason why they cause a threat and the previous history
between the U.S. and those countries. I think talking about the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty would make the reader more knowledgeable of
the issue. All in all it was a good read and it was very clear on how the
Civil Report felt about the issue.
