Is there anyone here who feels threatened by a 17 year old girl? Are there men here who think it's ok to punch a woman? Such people I think make great policemen/women, IMHO. On the other hand, if getting people to abide by the law is the purpose of law enforcement officers, then restraint is just as much a civics lesson and effective as clocking an adolescent girl by a man old enough to be her father. What courage! *sarcasm off*.

There's a debate going on in Iran that the US and others in the region could benefit from if they only allow it to continue; instead the drum beats for war with Iran are constantly in the background which will only silence Iranian critics who could change things to the liking of America if left alone. Sometimes we are our own worse enemy.
