Okay people, I'm going Political here...(this is only my opinion!)
Recently in the news there has been talk about entering Iran. Now, I haven't heard all the details on this, or claim to know exactly what that means. Actually I know nothing to be honest. But it got me thinking about this whole "war" we are in, and how the American people are reacting to it. More and More I hear about people saying they don't respect Bush, don't agree with his reasoning for going in, they want a different President, etc. This has made many people rethink their political position, wether they actually agree with the Republican's or not. So after years of hearing all the backlashing towards our leader, I have something to say.
Like I said before, I don't have a politically correct stance on what is going on, and that is not the topic I want to start here.
But more of this...I think we all need to realize what the United States of America is. We are the leaders of the world. With leadership comes responsibility, some of which is not wanted, but we can't run from it. Maybe we have labeled ourselves the "Peacekeeper" if you will, but that is our label. We are what we are. And I don't believe that will every change, regardless of who is in the White House. We will always have men overseas, it might not be all over the news, but they are there whether you know about it or not. The future holds a cycle of life that has been so since the world was created. People fued. Others stand against them. There is loss, and there is gain. This is the way of life, and no matter who is leading our country, this will always be the way of the U.S.A. I just want to stop hearing people talk as though this will change next year. People are dying, starving, murdering over beliefs, ALL over the world. Who will stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Okay, I will get off my soap box now.
What do you feel more like at this moment??

Beauty Tips that really work!! From: cosmopolitan.com
1) Powder Your RootsIf your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands, so no one will know you didn't shower.
2) Scent Strands with PerfumeSpray a light shot of fragrance into the bristles. Run it through strands from roots to ends and your hair will smell amazing throughout the day
.3) Cure Calluses with VaselineSlather on the petroleum jelly, and put on socks before bed to dissolve tough calluses overnight.
4) Spot-Treat SmudgesDip a cotton swab in eye-makeup remover, and trace it along your lids to erase any slipups or goofs when there's no time to redo your whole look.
5) Fix a Flushed FaceIf you turn red and stay that way after exercising (like seriously red for hours, even though you're healthy and hydrated), take an antihistamine like Benadryl when you leave the gym to reduce redness.

6) Soften Your Bod with AvocadoTake a ripe avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash it up in a bowl. Slather it all over your body, let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse off. Your skin will be sooo soft — avocado is a natural moisturizer.
7) Super-Glue a NailInstead of tearing off your nail when it breaks, put a tiny dab of Super Glue over the split, and paint a generous layer of your favorite nailpolish shade over it. Go for an opaque option (like red, purple, or coral) to camouflage and seal the crack.
8) Use Makeup Remover on Stubborn LipstickDon't try to rub off red lipstick (which makes it smear across your mouth — not so sexy). Instead, take a cotton ball or tissue, dip it in makeup remover, and just dab to erase the dark stain fast.
9) Tame Brows with Eye CreamPat any kind of rich eye cream over brows to help keep them hydrated and banish those icky white specks that look like dandruff.
10) Buff with Baking SodaIf you find yourself streaking (not glowing) after applying self-tanner, put some baking soda on a loofah, and scrub away the stripes.
11) Brush on Hair SprayFor the final step of your blow-dry, spray hair spray onto your brush, and run it through strands from roots to tips. This way, your do isn't so plastered and stiff but still holds volume and shine.

I am feeling what you are saying. I don't pretend to understand all the nuances of this war, but I do know that I support and believe that the soldiers oversees are indeed trying to help in a very complicated situation. Kudos to military families over here missing their loved ones, and my thoughts and prayers to those who have lost loved ones.
