Yes, I hear the kids in Iran barely speak to their parents and like the west. But if we bomb Iran they will join the militants.

IMO, we need a massive increase in public education worldwide. Our kids got good educations because we knew how to value it and had the money to support them. Many don't know how lead their kids to college, or have the money to send them. I also feel the only hope for America and the world is if women take charge of things. Males are not wired by evolution to make a safe transition to the modern world..
