Melat Kiros perverse views are the latest evidence that US schools need to be fixed

America’s educational system has clearly failed, judging by the recent comments of 29-year-old lawyer Melat Kiros, who just won a Democratic primary in Colorado and is now a sure bet for Congress. And if we fail to fix that system — and to dispel young folks of the absurd notion that America and Israel are, essentially, the root of all the world’s problems — the nation faces a rocky road ahead for sure.Kiros, a member of the radical Democratic Socialists of America, just dethroned Rep.Diana DeGette (D), despite (or maybe because of) her repugnant assertions.She claimed, for example, that 9/11 was “inevitable” because the United States “destabilized a lot of the Middle East,” which convinced people that “violence was the only response.” Huh? 9/11 was part of a global Islamist campaign conducted by al Qaeda fanatics and its mastermind Osama bin Laden, the pampered scion of an ultra-rich Saudi family.In 2002, an al Qaeda-linked group detonated bombs in a busy tourist district in Bali, Indonesia, killing hundreds; what “destabilization” was that in response to? In 2004, another al Qaeda-linked group bombed trains in Madrid, killing almost 200 people: Was Spain “destabilizing” the Middle East?In 2005, an al Qaeda affiliate attacked the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El Sheikh; in 2008, the group staged a massive terror attack at a Marriott in Islamabad, capital of the nation where the group was founded. What did any of those have to do with US “destabilization”? They were displays of power and terror, pure and simple. It would be no surprise, of course, if Kiros got her skewed ideas from her schooling, since that’s where they’re pushed. But it’s clear she has no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to al Qaeda and 9/11.Ditto for her views on Israel and Oct.
