show and tell?

Bill Clinton chipped away at discrimination for gay people.

Today, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is seen as a dated, bigoted piece of American history. However, it was a really progressive move in 1994 that started a huge conversation about gay rights. Before DADT, members of the armed services were being dishonorably discharged because of their sexual orientations. Clinton put a stop to that by saying "sex is none of the government's business," a bold move that was one of his first acts when he took office.

MALAYSIA HOME MINISTER: NON-MALAYS ARE MORE OKAY WITH BEING RAPED

According to him, statutory rape offends Malay sensibilities more than it does the sensibilities of other Malaysians, making it more likely for the former to report the crime.

and bringing oversimplification and finger-pointing to new levels: 

He blamed Internet pornography, peer influence and uncontrolled libido for the high incidence of statutory rape.

divide and rule?

problem

To hope that Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s prime minister, could form a coalition government of Sunnis, Shias and Kurds to bring about unity and peace ignores two key factors Firstly the incompetence and cronyism of Mr Maliki and secondly the 1300 years of absolute hatred between the Sunnis and the Shias. There is nothing America can do to change, improve or stop this visceral hate.

solution

Dividing Iraq into three seperate and independent countries is the only hope—the Kurds in the north, the Sunnis in the middle and the Shias in the south. Such a division into three countries will combine the aspirations, beliefs, culture and religion into homogeneous entities and there will no longer be any reason for the unending slaughter that is taking place today.

is this a feasible solution?
