Well, I don't know why LH feels that he can't answer yer questions, Terrible, but he is a man of honesty an' if he can't discuss this he can't... He has offered you an avenue for the two of you to hash it out privately... No grandstanding... Jus' an avenue...

If you have made the choice not to engage LH on this subject thru PM's then I can opnly think that you care more about grandstanding...
What am I missing here???

As for my own opinion which of course you won't read because you think my arguments are weak and bigoted is that, as per usual, there is a lot of postruing in the Middle East... But, hey, it is the Middle Esat and folks in the Middle East love posturing and bluffing and all that kind of stuff...

Ask me how I know...

Well, I've had business dealings with Saudis, Kuwaitis and Palestinians an' for folks who haven't: lucky yous... These folsk is so full of it that this explains why all of 'um have brown eyes... It backs up that far...

So, when I hear anyone from that region sayin' anything I think to myself, "Liar", which, of course, is a well honored behavior in the Middle East... Lieing, that is... The kids are taught very early how to out lie their school mates and their brothers...

Okay, maybe Terrible is right... Maybe I am a bigot 'cause of these observations???

(Ouch, I've hurt my head and now must lie down an' take a nap...
