I think that education could fix a lot of problems bother over there and over here, but it could also make them as dangerous as hitler and his posse. Honestly, I don't think her answer was all that jaw dropping. Unexpected, yes, jawdropping, no. I think the question to ask is whether or not such a gesture would be effective and worth persuing.

I am under the impression that they guys view women as a step below a dog. Would they be more moved is she said, " I would want education for your sons" instead?

I don't know that much about middle eastern politics and culture, so who knows, maybe I'm confusing these folks with some stereotype...

The effect one teenage girl has made in our world impresses the heck out of me.
Kudos!

She was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Peace.

Well, the commitee decided differently; the OPCW was elected instead (surprisingly right after Syria announced to join this organization).

The Nobel Prize is a joke.
