This is good news.

But a portion of the Iraqi people have returned to another form of ‘normal life’ for Muslims: - killing Christians in the name of a demon.

This Christmas I hope and pray that the Iraquis will choose good rather than evil and stamp out the anti-Christian forces in their midst.

Oh great. Let’s start normalization with the blatant objectification of women. Good idea.

Nice. A bunch of pretty, dark-haired young women. Although the fashion choices are a little sketchy. The stripped sweater has got to go. I’m just an idiot guy that can barely match socks, but even I wouldn’t pull that out of the closet.

From what I saw they have a real disconnect of what beauty means.

I suggest they continue working on finding beautiful women.

Right now they are wholly deficient in decent looking women.

Fine by me. I objectify them all the time but, it only gets them 5 minutes of conversation before I determine if there is a “there”.... there.

Most of the time I have tuned out around the 2 minute mark.

Plain looking women and their lesser counterparts are generally more interesting, smarter and have more wit.

Except for Diane Sawyer. She is both beautiful and interesting.
