Madam Speaker, come back!

Well, I'm a little late, but I think there's a couple things I could say that haven't been said yet.

If you haven't heard or read any of the story about the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) going to Syria and Israel, do some research. The whole story is funny, really.

What you haven't heard in the media is that the whole visit is completely illegal! Read this for more clarification.

The other thing that's not been mentioned anywhere that I've seen is the grave protocol error that she committed. See, in Muslim countries, women don't talk to men that aren't their husband. At least that's the way it's supposed to be. While America shuns the treatment of women in the Middle East (and rightfully so), they aren't exactly up to our standards just yet. Yes, in some parts of the Middle East, women can vote, and if I remember correctly, there are a couple women that have successfully run for office in Kuwait, but that is rare.

One more thing: the Democrats seem to think that getting everyone to like us is of prime importance. That really goes to show their lack of leadership. Ask any successful leader in any capacity, and he/she will tell you that if you strived to be liked by everyone, you will get nothing done. Basically, the very opposite will occur. Everyone will see through the sham and you will be liked by no one. Decisiveness and consistency are two of the most important leadership qualities and it seems that our politicians (on both sides) are lacking in both areas.

This is really a dead issue now, since this happened so long ago, so I'll just end it here and hope that she comes to her senses and doesn't decide to visit Iran...
