Hello from the US.

I am a college student studying International studies and have been following the current events in Syria. One thing I have heard is that while the UN's Security Council is interested in direct intervention in the conflict on the side of the rebels, Russia and China have veto power that they will use to prevent UN involvement. My question is what stake do they have in Syria's government that would make them side with the government over the rebel forces. I haven't found a clear answer and am interested in your thoughts, if you have any, of course.

I have your people in my thoughts. Stay safe over there.

I graduate in 4 weeks. I am absolutely terrified my student debt is going to ruin my life. I see it basically as a $21,000 ball and chain that I am shackled to. I live in GA where I got the HOPE grant all 120 hours I was eligible and the Pell grant due to my single mother's low income bracket, but still needed loans to survive at a medium sized university.

How is it even possible to get through college in the US without incurring debt? What are my options for repayment or getting it paid for? I've looked at Americorps as one possible option, but I don't really want to be a teacher.
