We hear good things about the only democracy in the Middle East, which is true. But a lot of things go on there, which would not be considered acceptable here. Another example, which I learned about from relatives in Israel, is that certain agencies, such as the Ministry of the Interior, limit their hiring of personnel to those whose ancestors lived in Iraq. What would it be like if the U.S. Justice Department decided to hire only people of conservative bent from Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas? Hey! Maybe it's happening! Art
