MIC, I thought that was an acronym for Men in Charge. Thanks for clarifying.

"Rather, I'm thinking more about utilizing the seductiveness of modernity, but in a carefully calculated (and difficult to discern) way." That is, imo, what trade and aid should be about. So I agree with that. On the other hand, if countries want to be anti-US they should be able to be- they simply can't act on it, against us. While we can work to change their perception of us, for some Wahhabis that change is simply never going to happen- and if they don't come over to kill us, and just hate us from afar, then that is their prerogative. imo
