Britney Spears vs. the War in Iraq


About two weeks ago Britney Spears shaved off all of her hair and it seemed as if the public couldn't get enough of it. No matter what stations you tuned into there was something being said about her. If it wasn't recaps about her infamous marriage to Kevin Federline it was about the way she handled her children. Some people might ask why watch the same stories about Britney Spears and other celebrities who are on the verge of losing their minds when they can be watching something more informative like coverage on the War in Iraq.

When troops were first sent to Iraq, the War in Iraq was all we heard about on the news, but now it seems as if the War in Iraq has taken a backseat to everything else that is going on in the world. We have troops fighting for us in Iraq and all we seem to care about is what A-List celebrity is seeing who and what new trend is in. When the troops come back home from Iraq some of them are unable to find jobs and proper places to live. All of these issues should be featured on the news more rather than entertainment news.
