It's now the world's number 10 economy and climbing.
Are you about ready to say goodbye to your G-8 status?  |

'Fahrenheit 9/11' Marine killed in Iraq
| Quote: |
DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- A U.S. Marine and one-time recruiter who appeared in Michael Moore's acclaimed documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" has died in a roadside bombing in Iraq.
Although Staff Sgt. Raymond J. Plouhar willingly appeared in a segment of the 2004 film, his father, Raymond, said Tuesday that his son did not realize that it was for a movie critical of the war.
The 57-year-old Plouhar said his son took four years off from active duty to serve as a recruiter in Michigan after donating one of his kidneys to his uncle.
During that time, the Marine was filmed as part of "Fahrenheit 9/11," about the Bush administration's actions after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Raymond Plouhar said that all his 30-year-old son ever wanted to do was serve his country. (Watch why his mother wants to beat somebody up -- 1:40)
The younger Plouhar died Monday of wounds suffered while conducting combat operations in Anbar province of Iraq, the Defense Department announced Tuesday.
He signed up for the Marines immediately after graduating from high school, his father said in a telephone interview.
"I'm devastated, sad and proud," Plouhar said. "This just makes me devoted even more to his belief that people need help in Iraq, and he felt that he was helping." |
