GlobalVote 048: Should the European Union bail out Greece of its financial crisis?
Summary:
The European Union is facing a dilemma on whether to bail out Greece of its financial crisis. Greece recently implemented austerity measures, including tax increases as well as a reduction in public wages, partially because of pressure from other eurozone countries.
Having agreed to these unpopular measures, there is an expectation by Greek officials that the European Union now aid Greece in reducing its deficit and debt, especially given the downward pressure on the Euro in the past few weeks. However, given their own financial troubles, there is also a reluctance from eurozone countries to provide financial assistance to Greece.

Reject: (No, the European Union should not bail out Greece of its financial crisis.)
GlobalVote 047: Given the military responsibilities of the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan and Iraq, should Yemen be the next battlefield in the global war on terror?
Summary:
Yemen, the world's poorest Arab country, is now the focus of the United States' and NATO's global war on terror. On Christmas day 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who reportedly had ties to Al Qaeda in Yemen, attempted to blow up a passenger plane on U.S. soil. Despite recent plans to increase troop levels in Afghanistan, the U.S. and NATO are now increasing their cooperation with the Yemeni government in fighting militant forces and Al Qaeda in the country. The Pentagon's publicly disclosed budget for operations in Yemen grew from $4.6 million in 2006 to $46 million last year. The U.S. will more than double its security assistance to Yemen in the coming year.
