You americans who have not spent time abroad, are so naiv towards other cultures. Sad really, lack of knowledge.
Though an american who's spent much time in these countries, would have a much better understanding of the situation.

1) You have no idea how much time I have spent abroad. For all you know, I could be in Antartica right now. Might want to arm yourself with facts before you go accusation hunting.

2) No need to weep for me: I have a great deal of knowledge and ready access to much more.

Why are woman covered up in the arab world Mr President?
What does that have to do with barbie

3) Arab parents don't want to buy a Barbie for their little girls, I couldn't care less. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to see a child playing with a covered Barbie in Cairo or Riyhad. But an unelected government tells their people that they can't buy a doll (and for religious reasons, no less): that's tyranny and stupidity going hand in hand. That's not a decision *any* government has a right to make.

think a while.

4) I do a great deal of thinking, thank you very much. What about you?
