How can someone be so out of touch and be regarded as knowing anything? Mr. Flathead writes another ignorant opinion!

More night dirt from the one of the NYT most arrogant limo liberals who says it's all our fault, poor Islam! He just makes it up to fit the world as he wants to see it and to salve his phony guilt.
If Not Now, When? - NYTimes.com
"The report stated that the Arab world is suffering from three huge deficits — a deficit of education, a deficit of freedom and a deficit of women’s empowerment. A summary of the report in Middle East Quarterly in the Fall of 2002 detailed the key evidence: the gross domestic product of the entire Arab world combined was less than that of Spain. Per capita expenditure on education in Arab countries dropped from 20 percent of that in industrialized countries in 1980 to 10 percent in the mid-1990s. In terms of the number of scientific papers per unit of population, the average output of the Arab world per million inhabitants was roughly 2 percent of that of an industrialized country."
Who's fault is that, maybe your out of touch opinions have made matters worse.

And by the way, look at What Libya's Leading Loon has been reading:

The Scrapbook couldn't help but notice this little gem from today's New York Times article, cheekily headlined "A Libyan Leader at War With Rebels, and Reality":

What’s more, Colonel Qaddafi maintains a strong interest in American books about public affairs. In one cable, the embassy reported that Colonel Qaddafi assigned trusted aides to prepare Arabic summaries of Fareed Zakaria’s “The Post-American World,” Thomas Friedman’s “The World Is Flat 3.0,” George Soros’s “The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror” and President Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope.” Another of Zakaria’s books, “The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad,” was said to be a Qaddafi favorite.

Qadaffi is at war with reality, and yet, he's been filling his head with books representing the milquetoast, left-of-center consensus that dominates foreign policy thinking in Washington, D.C. Crazy is as crazy does, but perhaps it's worth wondering if some small part of the Colonel's delusions are collective.
