I think it's a great idea. I mean they have other Barbies from other countries like Norway, Poland, and Holland and no one pitched a fit over those. So why not have a Barbie that looks like she's from the Middle East? It's not a big deal. Come on guys! Just because there's a war going on in that region doesn't mean that culture doesn't exist! I don't understand why people are getting their boxers, briefs, and panties in a wad.
