Lurger...great message...it's unfortunate so many Westerners have little interest in understanding the history, makeup, and politics of the ME. The US and British planners have, unfortunately, forgotten their history in this part of the world as well...The Arab world's heritage is tribal...while these tribes have had many deadly skirmishes over the centuries...one thing they agree on...meddling outsiders are not welcome...over the last century, the French, the Germans, the Brits, the US, and others... all learned this the hard way...the only time we have managed to make friends is when we bribed and propped-up an appropriate puppet...all eventually fail or turn on us...
