There is no comparison between my familiarity with the US and your "familiarity" with the Middle East.

Are you fluent in ANY Middle East language, at a level even remotely similar to my command of YOUR language? Are pretty much all the books you have ever read written by ME authors? Have you been educated in the ME system from your childhood until your master's degree? Have pretty much all your teachers and most of your peers in school been Middle Easterns? Have you been taught ME literature in school? Do you have friends living in various parts of the ME? Do you work with ME people and ME markets every day? Do you visit the ME on a regular basis?

Have you even been to the ME, for God's sake.

And yes, I have the "gall" to post "this" and quite a few other things.

Face it, girl. I am pretty familiar with the US. You are not familiar with the ME, except for what you see on mainstream US media.

And I can only laugh at the "Angola" remark. At least Mulholland Drive realized after a while that I was pulling her leg with that "OK, you're right, I'm from Angola, now insult the place all you can". Not you, obviously :-)
