It's like a wife with a great husband who knows how to do great things like invent CDMA or run a car company, bringing home the bacon [not that bacon would be ideal in this instance]. Women need men because women can't understand maths and science and business and stuff because their brains are fully grown 3 years before men so they get less development time and education in those new tricks of maths, science etc doesn't get going until girls have become women. Also, girls inherently dislike gear boxes, noisy motors, things that go bang and are icky. That's from birth. It's not a matter of stupid B F Skinner operant conditioning contrary to mythology of the gender studies feminists. Also, males are competitive and demonstrative, preening and strutting and trying to outdo the others, not just in footie and wrestling but in maths, physics and business. Women don't go for that stuff. Women are a conflict-free zone. That's why 90% of prisoners are men and the 10% of women are there more for technical offences rather than serial theft, assault, rape, murder and cannibalism. Yes, a few women will put a bomb up their toga under the thumb of their men during Stockholm Syndrome psychosis. But it's the blokes who go to all the trouble of cutting throats and flying airliners into buildings. Jews and Arabs could have a great marriage, but the Arabs have to stop thinking they are men [so to speak]. The Jews could put up the brains, like the bloke, and the Arabs could do the housework and mind the children, like the missus. Just as in regular marriages, there are plenty of women who have much more intellectual heft than their husband and in those instances, it's better that she go out chasing pigs to bring home the bacon while he does the housework. So there would be Arabs inventing orthogonality in pixelated photons for mobile cyberspace and Jews who cut their hair and help them select shoes to wear. You and Hawk are talking wife beating [popular in Moslem circles, along with honour killings, stonings and whatnot], fighting, plate throwing, and divorce. But if the Arabs would accept their good fortune at having the long lost prodigal son return to the area with riches from abroad and full of talents, they'd do supremely well. Mesopotamia could be once again the shining light on the hill. Abu Dhabi tried it but were lacking a certain je ne sais quoi - simply piling up big buildings in the desert, albeit impressive ones. Beirut was doing well in the early 1970s as a financial centre. Mqurice
