US ambassador killed over a film

... I'm not sure cultural suppression is your problem. Education is.

This.

I was talking politics today, and someone asked, "How can anyone seriously think of voting in favor of either?" My answer was that we have a serious lack of education -- to the point that the electorate is far too ignorant of even the basics, such as separation of powers, the proper roles of the branches of government, or why we have diplomacy.

I'm fairly jaded today, having suffered the typical barrage of idiot opinion -- my fellow Americans, blustering on about bombing them back to the stone age, again. But seriously... If history is our guide, we are Rome, and the Muslims are the barbarians at the gate -- once they get equivalent military power they'll come for us and sack the city. The better question is how do we get them to turn their guns into plow shares, and assimilate them into our "peaceful" society (if only that were true).
