For once, a good idea

It's unfortunate that it has to be a lame-duck Democrat suggesting this, but I think it's one of the best ideas I've seen in quite a while.

A great way to defuse the tensions in the Middle East is to reduce the role of theocratic education: that is, have more public support of schools. The only way to do that, however, is through massive infusions of capital combined with intelligent economic form. That's the basic suggestion being made by Rep. Turner of Texas.

Go take a look for yourself. It's well worth the read.
