I found this article, "Vengeance is Ours", to be great.  I was really impressed by how much it covered and still was able to flow.  I also really enjoyed the point of view in which it was told.  Some of the thought provoking topics that were discussed were ones such as "Handas are taught from early childhood to hate their enemies and prepare themselves for a life of fighting".  I thought that this was interesting because in so many cultures all throughout time it is as if the members are bread to be warriors. Just like in the current war that the US is in.  The culture we are fighting against raises their children to fight at such a young age against their enemies, us.

Another great line that was entered into this text that I found very interesting was "A clan first tries to obtain vengeance within the first three weeks".  I found this an interesting concept to battle.  Not really a surprise attack. Family is a very important part of my life.  That, like in this article, includes extended family. So for me it is easy to relate to something like that closeness, however vengeance is not something my family practices, and to have a time line of such is so hateful and angry.

There is more i would like to think about, something i would like to ponder on a bit more.  the story had a lot to say and some thoughts I have are still a bit unclear.  I hope that we will be discussing this article in class on friday.
