Compromise Reaches the White House Once Again


In attempts to resolve current conflicts towards execution of the final phases of the war in Iraq, politicians were able to continue what seemst to be a growing trend of compomise in policy making. Read about it on CNN.

What pleases me the most about this particular report is the fact that it outlines how politicians are seemingly realizing that more time needs to be spent focusing on domestic matters, rather than foreign affairs. Not that I'm trying to say foreign affairs arent important. It just seems that for so long now, we as a nation, have been focusing so much on helping everyone else, that we are starting to fail at taking care of, and protecting ourselves.

Somebody once told me, "Despite our efforts to help others, we cannot help them if we do not first help ourselves."

It is admirable and just for the United States to want to help in matters of the world, but more than once in a while, we need to step back, and check up on ourselves so that we may continue to help others, becuase we cant continue to help them if we fall apart.
