Uhhhhh.... help?

While watching one of the debates, I made a list of topics that I didn't really understand. I planned to look them up the next day but never got around to it. I just found this list and have been trying to find information. Unfortunately, the internet kinda hates me. If anyone knows anything about what's happening with this stuff, could you clue me in please?

Patriot Act
No Child Left Behind
Iran (what's happening over there? I heard something about nuclear weapons, I think.)
North Korea (Same as Iran)
Arafat-Isreal/Palestine (I believe that he was killed or died but, I'm not sure. Was/is he for Isreal or Palestine? What has/is he doing/done for/against his people/the "enemy"?)
International criminal justice board (What is it? Why is it?)

If anyone could help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your help. And if you don't know anything either, I'll report all the stuff I'm told so that you can be clued in as well.

Love always,
Uninformed idiotic teenage (PMS) female (hehe ^_^)

If you took the time to read this, you'll probably regret it. Anyhow, every year on my brother's birthday, give or take a day, my period starts. Wonder if this year will be any different.
