Incidentally, one might also learn the difference between Sunni and Shiite...

The more I read about Pelosi, the more worried I get. I am ok with change as long as it produces a more beneficial leadership - however this is beginning to look like a step backward.

Sensitivity - in this context, to me means a better understanding of what the other culture believes, feels wants. . . and a better comprehension of how to relay the same information from us in a way they will understand, without it coming across as US telling THEM.

We already tried that and it hasn't worked out so well yet.

Remember... if it is a government agency/committee it is actually the opposite of it's name.
Intelligence Committee = room full of morons dictating futile hate policy.

It always works.

silly, you can't tell a childs faith by seeing him/her anyway. That was the point.

but "Arab or Kurd" is an ethnic distinction, which might be readily distinguished by someone familiar with the region. Although the difference between Shi'a and Sunni is a religious question, the I think that the majority of the Shi'ites are from the old Persian empire. Christianity and Islam, despite colonisation and ministry, are both largely regional phenomena.

If you see a child somewhere, you could probably make a very good guess whether they are Arab or Kurd, and whether they will become Muslim or Christian, Shi'ite or Sunni.

A red cross? Must be a Christian!

Kerry is one of the several senior Democrats who keep on display exactly what is wrong with the Democratic Party. There are others who do their part to make this clear also.

The Jackasses aren't getting a dime from me.

I remember some gun people sending envelopes containing, in cash, two cents U.S. to the Clinton legal defense fund. Can't recall if I followed this example or not... I might have, I didn't at all care for Ole Possum Head... but quite a fistful of such envelopes originated at that gun rally.
