   some other school related issues that are clearly the teachers fault.

   Overcrowded classrooms.. blame the teacherUnderfunded schools… blame the teacherStudents who live in poverty… blame the teacherStudents who’s only meal of the day is the school food program.. blame the teacherParents who don’t care.. blame the teacherSchools that are in disrepair.. blame the teacherLack of any art, music and theater programs… blame the teacher

   Yes, there can be unmotivated teachers, but those working in schools that I know went into teaching because they wanted to make a difference, and they were driven to help children succeed. They certainly didn’t go into teacher for the pay.

   Today’s urban kids are being taught to flip burgers, while those suburban students are educated to work in business, technology and finance.

   So don’t go placing all the blame for a poorly educated minority population on teachers. there are many other contributing factors to the problem

   it is probably pointless to point out to you SeaFox that all of your solutions are not viable. First of, the countries involved are still sovereign states and embassies, while regarded as extensions of their home countries, are still guests. Secondly, driving an US Army tank through foreign capitals to the US embassy, or matching armed US troops down streets, would only increase the animosity towards the US, and be used by terrorist organizations to justify their actions. ( what would be your reaction to, let’s say IRAQ placing several tanks in it’s US embassy?) Third, the United States unfortunately must rely on the host countries to “go after” those responsible for any attacks on the embassy. Unless of course you want to launch a drone to blow em up, in which case you would need to declare war first, with the added benefit of again increasing hatred toward the US and helping the terrorist.

   Right Wing hypocrisy makes me laugh. First you whine about how Obama is not protecting our Embassies and demand full investigations into a supposed ongoing scandal, then when he takes preemptive measures to protect those same Embassies you start yelling he’s a coward, and shaming American honor. I swear, if Obama came out in favor of toilet paper you guys would stop using it.

   i guess the rule must be : If you tell it like it is you’re a left wing cartoonist, tell it like it isn’t and you become a right wing one.
