Anyone who believes America’s culture wars are behind her should have started out Friday reading The Washington Times.
The headlines on the three top stories on page one read:

The prime minister of Israel is angry with Barack Obama and is coming here to force a hardening of U.S. policy toward Iran.
“Bibi” Netanyahu had his anger on display at a meeting in Israel with Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

“I wish to express my deep regret for the reported incident. … I extend to you and the Afghan people my sincere apologies.”
