I agree totally. Assimilation, the great melting pot, of American culture. A few years ago they were shoving Multi-culturalism down our throats. All I can say is:

Wrong Wrong Wrong!

Over the weekend I came to the conclusion that the leaders of militant ME countries would much rather put a gun in the hands of their young people than a tool. A tool that could teach them how to work at a respectable job learning life skills that could lead to success and afford them a home and family of their own.

No.........the elites become more and more wealthy. They hoard the resources and deny their people the means that would provide a peaceful life. Things like a way to legitimately and proudly earn money, a decent education, housing, free markets, hope.

What the west has always feared about China and their one child policy.......where newborn girls are killed because they won't grow up to support the family as the parents age, and young, restless men have nothing but their obligation to the state........is happening in the ME to a certain extent. The young men are kept lean and mean, are bored beyond belief, and so naturally flock to a cause that gives them some sense of power.

Leaders of the ME want nothing to do with these concepts, and so grow and harvest militant, angry, bored and willing armies to do their bidding.
