Musician Tom “Pops” Carter, a staple of blues music in Denton for more than 40 years, died Monday from unknown causes.

Carter came to Denton in 1969 after securing a construction job and became known through his bluesy story-oriented songs at local clubs around Denton and along Fry Street, said Denton Arts and Jazz Festival organizer John Baines.

In addition to performing at the annual Denton Arts and Jazz festival for more than 10 years, Carter also performed with a number of notable artists, including fellow blues musi-cians B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

“He was a local icon,” Baines said. “He just had a certain swagger that you didn’t find in a man that age. When other people were whittling about, he wanted to be on stage.”

Carter was born in Shreveport, La., and left as a 12-year-old with all his belongings packed in a pillowcase for Houston, where he began his musical career. He became popular in Denton in the ’70s and ’80s, and formed his band Pops Carter and the

After going undefeated in the conference during the regular season, the Mean Green tennis team won three matches to claim the Sun Belt Conference Championship and clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament last weekend at the Waranch Tennis Complex.

No. 59 UNT topped Florida Atlantic and Denver on Friday and Saturday, respectively, then beat Florida International 4-2 in the final Sunday to bring the trophy back to Denton for the second time in three years.

“They will remember this for the rest of their lives,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “It was total team effort.”

Round two routAfter getting a bye in the

first round of the tournament, the top-seeded Mean Green

(18-6) dominated the No. 9 seed FAU 4-0 last Friday.

UNT took the doubles point and then quickly conquered its opponents in singles play.

Juniors Barbora Vykydalova and Ilona Serchenko beat their opponents in straight sets before senior Paula Dinuta sealed the victory for the team, moving it into the semifinals against Denver.

Rallying for victoryThe Mean Green carried the

momentum into its semifinal match with the No. 4 Pioneers last Saturday, as it swept the doubles point to begin singles with a 1-0 advantage.

The first four singles matches were split at two apiece.

Junior Valentina Starkova split the first sets of her match w it h Denver sophomore Caroline Schnell. Down 5-4, Starkova clawed back to win 6-2, 5-7, 7-5 and seal a 4-2 Mean

Green victory.

at the Waranch Tennis Complex that included Athletic Director Rick Villarreal, head football coach Dan McCarney and UNT President V. Lane Rawlins, the Mean Green clinched the championship with a 4-2 win against No. 2 FIU, the team that knocked UNT out of the tournament last season.

For the tenth straight match, UNT took the doubles point to get out to an early, short-lived lead.

With the match tied at two apiece, UNT’s fate was left in the hands of its three seniors: Dinuta, Nadia Miller, and team captain Irina Paraschiv.

an amazing combination,” Baines said. “The crowd always roared with delight at him on

the stage.”Fu n k monsters member

Clarence Pitts played with Carter off and on for about 40 years and said the energy and

love of music was the driving passion behind Carter, who used a cane to get around in his later years.

“Watching him with his

energy at his age was great. The music was in him,” Pitts said. “He brought the energy every time he performed. He never did stop.”

While singing the blues was his passion, Carter could also sing with hard rock or punk rock bands, said blues musician Robin “Texas Slim” Sullivan, Carter’s friend for 31 years.

Off the stage, Carter always had a happy disposition and was kind to everyone he encoun-tered, Sullivan said.

“He t reated ever ybody like they were family or close friends,” Sullivan said. “With Pops, there wasn’t a different Pops behind closed doors.”

In 2011, Denton mayor Mark Burroughs declared June 5 “Pops Carter Day.” Carter’s greatest message was respecting everyone and giving people a hand, Sullivan said.

“He was certainly someone that didn’t have an awful lot, but he would share anything that he had,” Sullivan said. “He treated everyone the same.”

In a 2008 short documentary titled “Pops Carter: Keeping the Blues Alive,” Carter spoke of giving meals and supplies to people in need.

“I believe in helping people if I can. If I can help them, I’ll help them,” Carter said in the documentary. “I was taught that you can’t live in this world by yourself.”

The city of Denton is expected to add 14 electric vehicle charging stations available for public use by June 12.

The stations will be in various locations around the city, including the Denton Square, the Denton Public Library, Cupboard Natural Foods and the University of North Texas campus.

The We Mean Green Fund subc om m it te e approve d construction of the stations for the UNT campus, and California-based electric trans-portation company ECOtality is paying for stations. A $64,737 grant was given to fund the

projects. “The six [UNT] stations will

be located at the Murchison, Wooten and the RTVF Building,” said Mendie Schmidt, assis-tant director of outreach for the Office of Sustainability. “There will be two stations at each location, one that is [Americans with Disability Act] compliant.”

Though electric vehicles average about $36,000, costing more than the average gaso-line-fueled vehicle, the cost to fill one up is about $3 for every 100 miles.

“Texas is one of five original states to be able to sell elec-tric vehicles by order,” Nissan electric vehicle specialist Carl

Lewis said. Ot her states include

C a l i f o r n i a , O r e g o n , Washington, New Mexico and Arizona. About 240 vehi-cle-charging stations have been placed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 2011.

Since then, electric vehicle stations have been added outside of those five states and are expected to lead to an increase of electric car usage by the average consumer. An estimated 1.5 million charging stations will be built in the U.S. by the end of 2012, according to a Pike Research study.

It’s Global Citizens Month at UNT, but for some students it’s an everyday experience.

UNT International is ranked one of the top 50 international universities in the United States, according to the International Education Institute.

More than 2,800 interna-tional students from 120 coun-tries were enrolled at UNT as of the fall 2011 semester, said Pieter Vermeulen, director of international recruitment at UNT.

The top five countries for international students, respec-tively, are China, India, South Korea, Saud i A rabia a nd

Taiwan, said Jennifer Rogla, director of partnerships and special initiatives.

One of the main draws is the Intensive English Language

Institute, known as IELI, which is a way for students to learn English along with their studies.

“We’re one of the top English language institutes in the U.S.,” Rogla said. “It’s a very rigorous program.”

Teachers are required to have a master’s degree to teach, and students attend for two eight-week terms per semester, Rogla said.

“I know other sides of life. It’s so exciting,” said IELI student Daniela Restrepo, a native of Colombia. “Our focus is learning English, but also we are learning other things about life in general.”

As the semester comes to an end, students are able to voice their opinions on the classes in which they are currently enrolled.

The Student Evaluation of Teaching and Effectiveness (SETE) su r vey a l lows students to provide their opinions about a class to help both instructors and the administration create the best possible learning expe-rience.

“It helps me know what to change, and it helps us, as a division, to know what is working,” said Brenda McCoy, director of the College of Public Affairs and Community Services. “If we start to see themes in the SETE for a teacher in multiple sections, we will sit down with them and say, ‘Hey, it looks like we some problems here, let’s see what we can do to correct this.’”

T he record-brea k i ng endow ment g i f te d by alumnus Charn Uswachoke in the fall prompted efforts from the recipients to raise funds of their own.

Uswachoke donated $22 million to UNT in August, the largest single donation in UNT history.

Of the money donated by Uswachoke, $13.5 million is in the form of a chal-lenge match, in which the college that receives the funds must raise amounts equaling their donation before the endow ments can be received.

“That will be inspira-tion for us to go out and find other gifts to match that,” said Elida Tamez, director of development for the College of Music.

That part of the dona-tion includes seven million dollars that will come in the form of a challenge match for professorships, scholarships and shares in the College of Music. “This is something that truly will help transform the College

add it iona l non-cha l lenge match donation of $3 million for traveling and recording

support. The One O’Clock Lab Band has traveled to Thailand twice to perform for the king, who Uswachoke knows personally.

Other expansive ef forts include $5 million of the chal-lenge match funds to be issued to the College of Business for study abroad scholarships.

“Business is global these days, and we want students to be aware of that and conscious of ot her c u lt u res,” sa id Graves, dean of the College of Business. “It’s a dimension that we’re adding. “

Uswachoke’s contributions to the College of Business, amounting to $5.5 million, were added to the college’s goal of reaching $45 million in funds.

The College of Engineering received a challenge-match donation of $1.5 million for professorships that will help boost the young program. Another $5 million gift was set aside for energy-efficient materials.

“He is a kind man who really is interested in the University of North Texas overall,” Graves said.

Various fundraising efforts are underway, with all funds to be distributed by December 2015, accord i ng to L i sa Baronio, vice president for university advancement.

tional student, Restrepo said.“Here I am a lone, and

my family is in Colombia,” Restrepo said. “I miss them, but I know I will be with them.”

The cost of living is another reason why students choose UNT, as it is more affordable than schools on the east and west coast, Rogla said. The top majors for international students are computer science, business and music.

U.S. students can get a taste of international experience through the Conversation Partner Program, where they are teamed up with an inter-national student to help them learn more about American culture and the language.

“UNT welcomes appl i-cants from all over the world and values diversity in its international student body,” Vermeulen said. “UNT looks to rapidly expand the number and diversity of international students on campus.”

Dinuta got t he Mean Green going when she beat her opponent i n three sets. After the match,

she was awarded Sun Belt Most Outstanding Player for her performance over the weekend.

“I wanted to set a tone and be there for the rest of the girls,” Dinuta said.

Up 3-2, all eyes turned to Paraschiv. A f ter dropping the f irst set, she fought to

win a close second set 7-6. The momentum shifted in the Mean Green’s favor, as Paraschiv wrapped up the third set to secure the win and championship for UNT.

“The Lord was really good to me to let me play and finish like this and be the last match,” Paraschiv said. “I am

so proud, not just of the way I finished, but of my team and my coaches. It was just like a dream coming true.”

The Mean Green will now set its sights on the NCA A Tournament. The selection show can be seen May 1 at 4 p.m. on NCAA.com. The tour-nament will begin May 10.

changing the structure or design of a course.

“One of the things we look for, because we are altering course structure and design, is, ‘You could have organized that better or set that up in a way that was more intuitive,” McCoy said. “You may not see the changes as rapidly as you would like to

see because there is a lag, we get them and then we get results, but it’s an iterative, it’s ongoing.”

Elizabeth Fisher, assis-tant director of UNT’s Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, estimated that each semester there is “usually over 100,000 potential survey opportunities,” and UNT is

working hard to make these opportunities much more avail-able to its students.

“I do take the SETE,” graduate student Latoya Jemerson said. “I would hope that they would use the information by giving it back to the instructors in order to let them know how students gage their performance.”

This week UNT’s Willis Library Preser vat ion Department is sponsoring events for the American Library Association’s third annual Preservation Week, including two webinars – online seminars – at the Willis Library and an open house at the Library Annex.

“Preservation Week is a week for advocacy and educa-tion,” UNT Libraries Head of Preservation Jessica Phillips said. “It’s about educating people how to care for their own items and the need for preserving items.”

The first webinar – presented by an objects conservator in Springfield, Ill. – at 1 p.m. today, “Taking Care: Family Textiles,” will demonstrate methods of stocking and displaying family heirloom textiles. The second webinar at 1 p.m. Thursday, “Preserving Your Personal Digital Photographs,” will present ways to store and archive digital photo-graphs. Both webinars will air at the Willis Library’s Forum.

The UNT Preser vation Department’s open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Library Annex will showcase preservation processes, such as

making a new book cover or a clamshell storage box, while staff members answer student questions.

In addition to the informa-tion displays, attendees can make their own “book snake,” a gentle weight to hold open a book without damaging it. Book snakes are made of soft fabric, about an inch wide and six inches long, and filled with aquarium gravel. Googly eyes and a felt snake-tongue decorate the book snake to add person-ality.

“We have all the fun tools back here,” library science graduate student Megan Sheffield said.

There is a difference between preservation – preserving an item in its current state – and conservation – repairing an item – and most people don’t do a very good job, Phillips said. She wants people to know the best practices for preservation and what kinds of damage different items are susceptible to. Phillips explained that people are misled by terms like archival that don’t really mean anything.

“The stuff you find at craft stores isn’t very good for books,” Sheffield said.

U N T ’s P r e s e r v a t i o n

Department moved from a crowded basement room in the Willis Library to its current location on Precision Drive, off Airport Road, in 1995. The new space allowed the department to grow and pursue its mission of preservation, said Kathryn Loafman, head of UNT Libraries’ technical services department.

The A merica n Libra r y Association sponsors events year-round to bring people into libraries. Each event, such as Preservation Week, focuses on a different topic.

“It’s a neat thing. People in general thought preservation was boring,” Loafman said. “Each year [the ALA] improves how to reach people.”

Librarians said some of the poorly repaired books that come into Willis Library rein-force the need for Preservation Week. Repair materials such as duct tape covers or decorative cabinet paper glued onto book spines have to be removed, UNT Libraries Processing Supervisor Don Dakin said.

“I have several old books that need repair,” Dakin said. “It’s nice to know there’s a place to bring them. Used to be, they were just thrown out.”

Plagued by a history of drug activ ity, prostitu-tion and other crime, resi-dents of the Southeast Denton neighborhood off of East McKinney Street are working to get the commu-nity back on its feet.

Grace Samano, owner of La Estrella Mini-Market on East McKinney, said she is determined to do her part to thrust the area into a more positive light.

“I want to set the tone and serve as an inspiration for other businesses to get the community together,” she said.

One of the many ways Samano said she’s tried to bring a sense of commu-nity back and restore the neighborhood’s image is by having a local musical group perform outside of her busi-ness for patrons and pass-ers-by on Friday nights.

The Superestrellaz, a group of about a dozen neighborhood children, ages 7 to 11, performs covers from the popular traditional Latin American genre, cumbia.

Lu z Her na ndez, t he mot her of 11-yea r-old Sup er e s t r e l l a z s i n ger Monica Salazar, said the kids’ involvement in the group is important because it helps keep them out of trouble.

Salazar, also a member of Borman Elementar y School’s orchestra, said she agrees with her mother.

Neighborhood triesto build community

“It’s better to play music and move around instead of just sitting around,” she said. “I really like being a part of the group.”

T h e n e i g h b o r h o o d ’s economic difficulties are due at least in part to a tumultuous history, said Kevin Roden, Denton city councilman for District One, which includes

Southeast Denton.In the early 1900s, the area

that is now known as Civic Center Park near Texas Woman’s University was a thriving African-American community filled with several businesses such as grocery stores, funeral homes and more. The commu-nity was called Quakertown for the Quaker abolitionists who helped free slaves during the Civil War.

It was during that time that President C.F. Bralley of TWU, then known as the College of Industrial Arts, felt that having such a strong African-American presence in the area would hinder the efforts of the all-women’s college to gain accred-itation, Roden said.

Through a huge city drive, Quakertown was considered

condemned, and its inhabit-ants were forced to move to the other side of the railroad tracks no one else was inter-ested in.

A s t he 2 0 t h c e nt u r y progressed into the ’50s, he said, the northern side of McKinney Street began to see an increase in Hispanic popu-lation.

“You have two rich, cultur-ally diverse parts of town and East McKinney Street sepa-rating them,” he said. “And the number of bail bonds stores, check cashing stations [is] popping up because you’ve got the juvenile detention center and the city and county jails all in the same area.”

Roden said business owners like Samano are doing what the city should be doing, showing the neighborhood the care it deserves.

Samano said she would like to have Hispanic folklore dancers perform outside of her store and to have another musical group perform Saturday nights to bring residents together and to especially get the children involved.

Community involvement is key in making the neighbor-hood a popular part of city life in Denton, Roden said.

“We’re t h in k ing about making it more walkable and bike-friendly. We also want to get adequate lighting out there for people who want to take a trip that way at night,” Roden said. “First and foremost, we want to foster people who are trying to do good things and allow them to do just that.”

“I want to set the tone and serve as an inspiration ...”

The Green team flexed its muscles in UNT’s annual Green/W hite Spring foot-ball Game, holding the White team scoreless in a 41-20 win Saturday at Apogee Stadium.

Even with its spotted 20-point lead to start the game, the White team – the second and fourth stringers on the depth chart – struggled, as the Green team – the first and third stringers – ran away with the victory.

“There was a lot of valuable evaluation that we got out of this game today,” UNT head coach Dan McCarney said. “Now we need to get the players who are injured back and the freshmen in here and develop them. We had a real good, strong finish to spring ball.”

The game marks the end of spring practice.

Green team redshirt junior quarterback Derek Thompson played the first half and went 4-for-6 for a team-leading 162 yards and two touchdowns. Thompson started 11 of 12 games last season.

Thompson’s second touch-

Starters dominate in annual Spring Game at ApogeeFootball down pass came on a 99-yard

pass to senior wide receiver Ivan Delgado, who caught two passes for 114 yards.

Without running back Lance Dunbar in the backfield for the first time in four years, the Mean Green got the chance to show off its new “running back by committee” game plan.

Redshirt freshman running back Antoinne Jimmerson and senior running back Jeremy Brown each rushed for at least one score for the Green team, as Jimmerson rushed for a game-high 92 yards and two touch-downs.

“We work hard every day,” Jimmerson said of the team’s running backs. “All six of us want to try and fill the shoes, if not be better than Lance [Dunbar]. He tells us every day to work harder than he did so that we can break the record that he accomplished.”

Dunbar finished his UNT career last season’s as the school’s all-time leading rusher, with 4,224 yards.

One of the biggest standouts for the White team was soph-omore wide receiver Derrick Teegarden. Working primarily out of the slot for the White

team’s quarterbacks – sopho-more Andrew McNulty, junior Brent Osborn and senior John Dodson – he tallied four catches for 84 yards against the Mean Green’s top cornerbacks.

Teegarden, the youngest receiver on the UNT roster, captured the attention of the coaches by receiving recogni-tion as one of the team’s most improved players this spring.

“Yeah, we need to get him [Teegarden] on the football field,” Thompson said. “He’s a special talent and a former quarterback, so he knows the mindset of where we [quarter-backs] want him to be.”

After the game, the coaching staff will give each of the players a spring rating based on their performance in the spring game and in spring practice, which started March 28.

Immediately following the game, the stands were trans-formed into a stage, as country music band Reckless Kelly treated the fans to a concert.

The next time the Mean Green takes the field for a game will be when it opens the regular season in Baton Rouge, La., to face Louisiana State on Sept. 1.

The UNT softball team (20-24-1, 10-10-1) lost its final home confer-ence, as the team dropped two of three games at home against the South Alabama Jaguars (29-14, 13-6) last weekend.

“I thought we competed well all weekend,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said. “Our biggest problem this weekend was just not hitting with runners in scoring position. That was our biggest flaw.”

Saturday splitThe Mean Green started the

series strong, beating the Jaguars 2-1 in the first half of the Saturday doubleheader.

UNT kicked off scoring in the bottom of the third inning, with senior outfielder Megan Rupp bringing freshman first baseman

Mean Green drops season’s final home conference series

Softball Danielle Hoff home. The Mean Green’s second run

came on junior utility player Lesley Hirsch’s RBI single that brought home sophomore third baseman Jordan Terry.

A home run by USA sopho-more second baseman Haley Richards in the sixth inning cut the UNT lead in half, but the Jaguars couldn’t complete the comeback.

In the second game of the doubleheader, the Jaguars got a quick leg up on the Mean Green, scoring the first run in the top of the second inning when freshman catcher Alex Breeden hit an RBI single to drive sophomore second baseman Julie Moss home.

UNT responded in the fifth when senior first baseman Maddelyn Fraley hit a solo home run over the centerfield wall, tying the game at one.

Junior pitcher Brittany Simmons continued to stifle

USA’s offense, forcing the game into extra innings. Simmons went eight innings with seven strike-outs and one unearned run.

In the tenth inning, USA junior first baseman Meghan Collins hit a two-run home run off sopho-more pitcher Ashley Kirk, who pitched two relief innings.

USA held off UNT in the bottom of the tenth, winning the game 3-1.

“Usually as the game goes on the batters see you more, and they usually adjust to your pitching, so you kind of have to counteract that,” Simmons said. “I think I did well with that tonight, but I had to focus on it a lot.”

Sunday shutoutUSA was shut out for the fifth

time this season in Sunday’s rubber game, as the Jaguars beat UNT 2-0.

USA started Sunday’s scoring with Jaguar freshman pitcher Blair Johnson singling to right field, bringing junior centerfielder Brittany Campbell home.

Jaguar freshman Kaitlyn Griffin scored the final run of the game with a home run over the left-field wall in the top of the fourth inning.

“When we had runners on base, we didn‘t execute,” sopho-more catcher Ashley McCarroll said. “We just couldn‘t get the timely hits when we needed them.”

Who will you be voting for in Denton’s

mayoral elections and why?

“I would like to stay with whom we have now. [Mark Burroughs]

He’s not doing exactly bad.”

“I am not an active voter; I just choose not to vote.”

“Names sound familiar, but I don’t know who I would vote

for.”

Everyone knows that one annoying kid from grade school. The one that’s smaller than average and, due to their Napoleonic tendencies, overcom-pensates and always has something antagonistic to say.

In the realm of global politics, North Korea has proven to be that loud-mouthed kid that never backs their talk up. New leader Kim Jong-un faces a struggling economy. The CIA World Factbook lists their rate of GDP growth at negative three percent and says they face desperate economic conditions. If he wishes to progress past the dirt-poor totalitarian state that his father Kim Jong-il created, then a strategy other than hollow

threats may be the best option for his administration.

However, diplomacy doesn’t seem to be Jong-un’s plan for international relations.

On April 13, N. Korea attempted to “launch a satellite into orbit,” – really a missile that was believed by Washington to be a disguised ballistic test – but failed miserably. Then on Monday, its military interrupted programming with an emergency broadcast stating that in four minutes, they would level South Korea to ashes utilizing “unprecedented peculiar means and methods.” As most of you know, S. Korea and its capital Seoul are doing fine.

These kinds of hollow threats and outward displays of aggression are the reason N. Korea stays impoverished and isolated from world powers. The worst part is that this could be a time of major transition for N. Korea. With the death of Kim Jong-il, the poten-tial for change in N. Korea is high. It may have been unreasonable to think Jong-un would completely reverse the damage done by his father. No one even expected him to extend a diplo-matic hand to S. Korean President Lee Myung-Bak. But to not even try to create a positive relationship with democratic nations and to further his father’s reign of isolationism seems self-defeating.

It’s become clear that true military action against S. Korea is out of the question for the weak N. Korean mili-tary. S. Korea has 30,000 U.S. troops, as well as a functioning economy and the support of the U.N. If Jong-un did try an actual attack, it would surely mean a humiliating and swift defeat.

It seems that declarations of violence toward other countries and unapproved missile tests would be the last thing Jong-un would want, but no. N. Korea will spend another genera-tion spouting its provocative, anti-democratic language and trying to find outlets for its impotent rage, only to ensure its citizens live an impover-ished and isolated existence.

The Internet is abuzz this week regarding the cryptic announcement of a new venture by private spaceflight entrepreneurs Peter Diamandis and Eric Anderson. The press conference, which is scheduled to take place a few hours after today’s paper hits news-stands, is expected to announce the formation and intent of Planetary Resources Inc., a company described as potentially adding “trillions” to the national GDP through a new source of natural resources.

Though we’ll have to wait for the conference to learn all the mysterious details, an anonymous inside source reporting to the Huffington Post has confirmed what a quick glance at Diamandis’ previous research already suggests: Planetary Resources intends to mine asteroids, extracting their valuable mineral resources and selling them on the global market.

Diamandis and Anderson are both pioneers in the field of privatized spaceflight, but they’re also backed by several billionaires, including “Avatar” and “Titanic” director James Cameron, one co-founder of Google and a former Microsoft executive.

The combined net worth of the company’s financial backers exceeds $30 billion. Consider that the average annual budget of NASA since its creation in 1958 is a little less than $16 billion, and the ramifications of this announcement will snap into focus. Further, consider that the hundreds of near-Earth asteroids each contain potentially trillions of dollars worth of gold, platinum and rare earth elements, all of which are essential for high-tech manufacturing and could potentially be depleted in our planet’s future without new sources.

The incredible boost in global economy associated with such oper-ations is clear, but some scientists have a purer motive as well. Lack of public interest, budget cuts and oppressive bureaucracy have left NASA’s produc-tivity at an all-time low. Allowing corporate interests to bankroll space technology gives an economic incen-tive that pure science and exploration, sadly, cannot match.

There is a silver lining for those who seek knowledge over profit, however, as industrial space ventures will still deliver mountains of scientific data and advancement in space-faring technology, and the combination of this technological and economic prog-ress will pave the way for future scien-tific discoveries.

It’s true that Diamandis’ vision of the future seems far more “Weyland-Yutani” than “Starfleet,” but it’s still exciting news for anyone who’d like to see mankind take one step closer to the stars.

There are several key issues that will eventually break the Middle East, but the most salient at the time being would have to be Iran and its rela-tionship with Israel and the United States. Iranian Relations is without a doubt the most ominous issue, mostly because it can undoubtedly lead to World War III. Front-page headlines about Iran and its nuclear program are almost commonplace nowadays. One key point that always comes up is “Should the United States and Israel attack Iran to ‘save the world’ from the ‘imminent threat?’”

Take Iran’s continuous evasion of the international community and rejection of their demands that the country dismantle its nuclear program. Politicians and the media love to refer-ence the international community, but who is it exactly? The interna-tional community is supposed to be demanding that Iran stop enriching uranium. If you do a little research, you’ll find that most of the world actu-ally disagrees with the “international community.” The rest of the world has forcefully insisted that Iran has the right to enrich uranium for the sake of producing nuclear power, a right given to every other signer of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. There’s something you won’t see on cable news.

Another group that’s conve-niently missing from the “interna-tional community” is the majority of Americans. They happen to agree with the rest of the world that Iran has every right to peacefully enrich uranium to provide power for its populace. If you do a little more digging, you’ll find that really the only members of this so-called “international community”

are the United States, and whoever happens to be on our side at that time.

The American population has very sensible views on this issue that could lead to mitigation and a peaceful coex-istence. A number of think tanks have suggested the idea of creating a nuclear weapons free zone encompassing all of the Middle East. While that seems like an easy thing to do, know that this would involve Israel handing over its nukes. I’m sure the Israeli government would have a number of colorful terms for the United States should a politician openly call for a plan like that.

We can all agree that a sovereign nation like Israel has the right of self-defense. However, what it does not have is the right of self-defense by force, which is to say the right to preemptively strike Iran. The idea that you can attack someone to save yourself is not self-defense. Isn’t that right, George Zimmerman?
