This talk is about an hour. All right, lets go ahead and get started, everyone. Welcome to class. Over the course of this semester so far, we have seen how appalachia, perhaps to a greater degree than any other american region is defined to the world and in the minds of its residents by outsiders. We have seen, for example, how industrialists employed the negative stereotype of the violent hillbilly to rationalize the seizure of thousands of acres of land on the boundary between kentucky and West Virginia.

In her first few months, Ambassador Nikki Haley has approached her job with determination and purpose. She has castigated iran and hezbollah for their role in sowing instability across the middle east. Ambassador haley has made it Crystal Clear that the uns Human Rights Councils record of protecting dictators cannot stand. Indeed, as Ambassador Haley as declared, the United States our at the u. N. Is to show strength and our voice and have the back of our allies. I think that is well said. The United Nations is charged with the Ambitious Mission to maintain International Peace and security and to achieve International Cooperation in solving International Problems.
