Obama's Warful Time Period

Barack Obama who received the Nobel peace prize, is now the President at war longer than any of his predecessors

When the Nobel peace committee presented US President Barack Obama the Peace Prize, just one year into his first term, critics thought it was a premature decision. In fact, Mr. Obama himself acknowledged it in his acceptance speech. "Perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of a nation in the midst of two wars," he said.
Way back in 2001, U.S. troops were fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Both were started by his predecessor George W. Bush. The U.S. invaded Afghanistan immediately after September 11. And the reason — the Taliban refused to hand over Osama Bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders.
Three years later, the U.S. and the U.K. attacked Iraq with the claim that Baghdad was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The Iraq war II had three major casualities: Iraq's Ba'ath government collapsed, the country’s President Saddam Hussein was hanged and the Republicans failed to put their man back in the White House.
But today, at the end of Mr. Obama's presidency, U.S. troopers are still fighting the Bush-era battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan, along with the newly opened fronts in Syria, Jordan and Turkey. This are in addition to one off military strikes carried out in Pakistan, Cameroon and Somalia.

Healthy Tips:Flaxseeds benefits by Doctors Natural Therapy

Flaxseeds (also called linseeds) are a rich source of micronutrients, dietary fiber, manganese, vitamin B1, and the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, also known as ALA or omega-3. The seeds come from flax, one of the oldest fiber crops in the world - known to have been cultivated in ancient Egypt and China. Flaxseed is a source of healthy fat, antioxidants, and fiber; modern research has found evidence to suggest that flaxseed can also help lower the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
