"The newspaper quoted young Iraqis “exhausted by constant firsthand exposure to the violence of religious extremism” and “disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical of the faith that they preach.”"...but the secular Baathists and American democrats are not much to believe in either!
"Do less than half Americans know that climate disruption is being caused by human beings putting 32 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year? Fox “news” bears a lot of the blame for this."...so don't people who drive cars and promote auto shows!
As for Obama, with "liberals" like him, who needs conservatives??
"Kerry is apparently acting on behalf of some section of American Jewry"...pol's of both parties are always acting on behalf of some section (take your pick) of American Jewry.
. It doesn’t do that for any other ethnic group at that level. If Kerry is anti-Semitic now, what would he have to do, to outdo John McCain or Mitt Romney or Hilary Clinton??
OMG that's 'anti-Semitic'!
Well, if Obama "says the right things about conventional uses of the military, but in his actions he is a Covert War hawk ", then why is it "ironic that Obama is so disliked by peaceniks and on the left of his own party"? It's only "ironic" if he really is NOT a covert war hawk. And no one seems to know the answer to that, maybe not even Obama himself.
"I can’t understand why, in 2014, you would buy anything but a plug-in hybrid or an electric vehicle if you are a homeowner and needed a car. (Apartment dwellers still often have no access to an electrical outlet where they can plug the car in; it is like an appliance, such as a refrigerator). Gasoline is extremely expensive, and burning it causes catastrophic climate disruption, including over time extreme global warming. "
Most people don't really "need" a car, they just want one. "Fantasy window shopping" only whets such misbegotten appetites. Gasoline is expensive and polluting but so are nuclear and coal-powered electricity generators. Buying a "hybrid" is a classic cop-out. If you really cared about the environment, you wouldn't own any car or support an industry that produces such wasteful and selfish forms of private transportation. Buy a bike or take a bus. If you don't have public transit (Detroit does!) - demand it!
"If the issue was just religion, then the Norwegian young woman could just convert, assuming she was of a mind to and the whole thing got serious. But the commentators above clearly discount that possibility."
And the commentators below - not to mention the commenhaters above! - clearly dismiss altogether any possibility that young Netanhayu could convert!
"The ideal of the American way of life as formulated in the twentieth century has collapsed"...no it ain't, you can still go shopping at the mall!
ha, ha..sorry, Freudian slip: that should be Barak, as in Ehud, not the Obama one (but the same principle applies to both, anyway)
Barack walked on Camp David, the whole process has been flawed since the Oslo sell-out.
Iran gave up too much in the current talks already; what more do they want?
Hopefully 'regime change' is on the way to the US of A!
Truth will out!
"The newspaper quoted young Iraqis “exhausted by constant firsthand exposure to the violence of religious extremism” and “disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical of the faith that they preach.”"...but the secular Baathists and American democrats are not much to believe in either!
Amen! (and this on a site that promotes auto shows!)

Even in a penal colony like America, there aren't enough jails to hold all the liars and law-makers that make up the ghoulish government!
