Things ...don't change in the Middle East at all. If they did the glorified Camel riding Sheiks that order big titted, blonde white girls, like shrimp scampi, wouldn't suck the ass of terrorists.

Again, that is just a banality. Remember, what is now the Middle East began circa 1920 with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, which had ruled for centuries. It was a big change, I might add. There has actually been a lot of churning since. Remember, Saddam was in power not much longer than the mullahs in Iran, who came to power about the time I graduated college. In 1948, the Arab powers were dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Now, many of them have disengaged, notably Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, and Morocco. Israel did not, until '67, have the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, and the PLO had only recently formed. Many things are different than they were a few decades ago in the region.
