And here I thought you were smart Colin.

Maybe you think you can sit down for a cup of coffee with your average Middle Easterner and try to relate to him. Maybe you think that by listening to him you will calm the savage beast. Maybe he'll tell you why Italians were recently kidnapped and held for ransom. Maybe he'll tell you why 11 French were killed in Islamabad in May of 2002. Maybe he can explain to you how US soldiers based in Saudi Arabia with the Saudi government's permission should lead to 3000 dead in New York city.
In reality, you would be lucky to walk away from your meeting alive in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, or Syria.
There are more than 1300 years of history supporting my view and more than 1300 against yours.
