For this blog I chose an article titled "U.S., Afghan Troops Kill 20 in Pakistan"
This article is about how Afghan troops went in to Pakistan and killed 20 people. They were chasing believed terrorists in to Pakistan; they attacked some huts where they believed they were, killing 20 people. The reason they were chasing these terrorists was because they were violating the natural rights of the people, and since the government has the job of keeping the natural rights of the people they had no choice but to get them out. But in the process they violated the natural rights of some people from Pakistan, this is because some of the people that were killed in Pakistan were civilians thus violating their right to life. But this could also go the other way, the soldiers killed the terrorists, and they don't want them, so then they are violating all their natural rights.

What struck out to me is that people still believe that killing other people, would stop the killing and bring peace. This makes no sense at all because it doesn’t work out in life, and it does not bring us any closer to peace. By having the Afghans go to Pakistan and kill 20 innocent people, they have torn families and lives apart. Life is one of our natural rights that we are given the moment we’re born and by being murdered, that contradicted our right.
