What are the Mothers doing?

"You learn those values at your mother's knee," said Mr. Justice Ken Fogerty to the opposing lawyers in one of B's many divorce hearings -- unnecessary battles we had to wage over guess what?  Money!  I thought of this when I read about yet another mess in the Middle East.  Millions of people have been killed or displaced in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Palestine.......you name it, it's a disaster.  Africa is the same mess.  All tribal.  Democracy?  What's that??!!  

These people cannot govern themselves.  Kings, presidents or whatever rule over failed states and wage war everywhere.  Why can't they let people be?  Why can't they let people practice their religion and live their lives?  What would President Truman have done?  Might have been a great idea.  Here in Canada, we have no idea how lucky we are.  And we take it all for granted. 

"There was a reason 9/11 happened.  The jihadists want us annihilated," said Tony Blair recently.  He's right, of course.  Now we have "home-grown" terrorists in Canada, a few in Calgary.  All the columnists and editorial writers are blaming the Imams and the "culture".  Hey, what about the mothers?  Children learn their values at their mother's knee, as Justice Fogerty said.  Why does no one call Muslim mothers on how their sons mess up??  These mothers have a lot to answer for. 

Canadians are so wimpy.
