Either I am just what God intended me for, or God cannot 'carry out' His intentions, it would seem.
Most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.
As the Palestinian leadership never seems to pay any penalty for its words, America's seriousness about the peace process is in doubt.
