Do You Think Unibrows are Sexy?

Don’t pluck your eyebrows; get your hair died like Brad Pitt, or wear makeup. Well, men shouldn’t wear makeup anyway unless you’re Jean Simmons so Ahmadinejad and I might agree on that point. Now the Iranian government is telling people to not allow “western” style hair cuts. For those of you who don’t know “western” would be anything like American or Europeans. So sad, my boyfriend has great hair I think all Iranian men should sport! Side-note: if a man can shave he can pluck his eyebrows too but the makeup thing is a little much.

Just last week Iran was threatening to ban women from the country if they did not wear head coverings that since 1979 have been a part of the national Sharia law for women there. I think I’d ditch the veil and beg to be sent somewhere, anywhere else!

It is ridiculous to me that there is a country where women have to cover their heads, have arranged marriages, men can’t get their hair cut the way they want!

When those students last fall were protesting the ranking of their university professors based upon their opinion of Iran’s dictator it was encouraging that they too understand the system they are living under is not free or just. It was sad though that only a couple of thousand gathered as they were probably too afraid for their lives to speak out against a regime that is condoned and ignored by many.

Democrats think we should continue to negotiate with Iran even though they are relentlessly trying to get their grimy little hands on nuclear power. Can you tell me why on earth we’d want a man who will not recognize the nation of Israel that the Holocaust occurred, or that women are equal to men the right to own nuclear weapons? Still nothing – thought so. But that is what leading Democrats want to do. Numerous times they have called on our amazing Sec. of State to hop on a state plane and head over to Tehran to “negotiate” with Mahmoud. Thank God Condi is strong enough and has our president’s support not to go over there. Dictator Ahmadinejad probably wouldn’t see her simply because she is a woman, a highly brilliant and educated one at that.

The events with the capture of the British military men and woman in Iran shook up our British ally and Blair did his best to deal with the situation with Bush’s backing. This circumstance brought back scary memories that some held of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. Survivors who were held from 1979 to 1981 relived the horrors and torture of being away from family, friends, and always wondering when they were going to die.

Ahmadinejad’s “gracious” release of the captives this year was just an ingenious media ploy that sadly, most likely worked on many Americans and Britain’s who were relieved no one had been killed or injured.

The answer to our Iranian problem I do not have, but I do know we cannot sit and negotiate any longer. We must stop any and all workings with crazy dictators and make them realize that America, although we are part of the world community, is still a sovereign nation who does not need them and their restrictive “law.”
