Sermon by a Kuwaiti Imam

Interesting sermon by a Kuwaiti imam in which he speaks candidly about why Arab people, in general, are less prosperous than other ethnicities. It's not wise, in most cases, to paint an entire culture with the same, broad, generalized brush; nonetheless, a lot of what he says rings true with my own observations over the years while traveling in Arab or Palestinian areas of the Middle East and North Africa. I seriously doubt that he expected or wanted his comments to go viral over the Internet. I have to say, though, that the imam's candor and honesty are refreshing!

Iran, Obama, Boehner and Netanyahu

People have been saying for years that we shouldn't get all excited about Iran making a nuclear bomb because even if they had one, they lack the capacity to deliver it. But according to Caroline Glick (who is usually a reliable source of information), that's changed. Indications are that they now have the ability to deliver the package to Tel Aviv. They would probably avoid Jerusalem because of its proximity to Palestinian areas. At any rate, here's what Carolyn has to say.
