Why doesn't Victoria dress like Mamma?

Senator Joseph Biden recently gave a speech on Religion, Violence and the Middle East.

I was first turned on to Biden when I read the eulogy Senator Biden delivered at the funeral of Senator Strom Thurmond.

In this recent speech Biden recounts an experience he had while in Afghanistan.
"I remember one instance where we were stopped; it was an unauthorized checkpoint. There was a woman in a full burqa and a man dressed in traditional Afghan
garb, and what looked like a kind of hut that they lived in, but it was an adobe kind of arrangement. And, as I sat there thinking to myself, I watched
and could see a kid sitting there on a portable computer.

And I thought to myself, what happens if that kid punches up the ads for Victoria's Secret? Not a joke. Talk about a culture clash. I mean, here is his
mother dressed in the full burqa. The rapidity of change in the Islamic world is just staggering. What I am trying to say is, I think a lot has to do with
coping not just with modernity but coping … even in the West, with this notion of what do I do so that I can affect and control my destiny, so that I can
control what is going to happen to me?"

"I'm not sure that is the reason why we had a bunch of folks with box cutters take down our two towers. I don't know that. I don't even know that I could
make the case that that is the reason for the kind of rapid response you see to what appear to be relatively minor slights that occur in France, with the
Muslim population deciding that they should burn most of the automobiles in sight from Normandy down to the Mediterranean. I don't know. But something
tells me that this is part of this unsettled terrain we are all operating on right now." --- Senator Joseph Biden
