Many Of The Fights That Are Going On Are Not Ones That The United States Has Either Started Or Have A Role In. The Shia-- Sunni Split, The Dictatorships That Have Suppressed People's Aspirations, The Increasing Globalization Without Any Real Safety Valve For People To Have A Better Life. We Saw That In Egypt. We Saw A Dictator Overthrown, We Saw Muslim Brotherhood President Installed And Then We Saw Him Ousted And The Army Back.

Frankly, I See A Lot Of Little Girls Dressed In Ways I Think Are Not Very Appropriate. It's Too Much Too Soon, And It Causes A Lot Of Cognitive Dissonance About Who They Are - Are They An 8-year-old, Or Are They A Miniature Fill-in-the-blank-celebrity? Parents Have To Draw The Line.
