Somalia needs it. They have been in a constant state of war since 1991. Their average life expectancy according to the WHO is about 44 years old. AIDS is only a minor player there at this time. But the numbers are going up every year. And.. not all of Somalia is muslim. Many urban Somalians converted to Roman Catholic years ago (which of course makes the whole HIV/Condoms thing a bigger problem since they are adamently against birth control.) However, Yemen, Gaza Strip, West Bank... that's some scary stuff. Breeding more suicide bombers? Back to topic.. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a truely amazing woman. Glad to see her back in the US. I hope she chooses to make it her home. re: fertility rates..

The only thing Jihadis understand (and respect) is hot lead applied generously, and I for one would be happy to oblige them. And Michelle, if you are reading this, I suggest (if you don't already) carrying a concealed weapon whenever you can. We ALL need to be fighting for a national gun permit law so that law abiding citizens can protect themselves, so that we all aren't cowering in fear. Aloha guy-

Looks like socialist radicals, reviving neo-nazis and islamic facists will rule England, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain, France, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands by the turn of the century. Democracy in the Old World is swiftly becoming a thing of the past. It's all about the birthrates, why the media NEVER talks about that, is beyond me. Poor, religious societies will ALWAYS have more children than secular ones. It's not even close, folks. Well, folks, if you haven’t been to Europe, I suggest going now.
