ElDuderino, If you want to get a better feel as to whats going on in the ME,Google Al Jazeera and click on the English broadcasts, it may be not totally free of bias but the fact that they get their signals jammed on a regular basis by many states in the ME will tell you, that unlike much media these days, they are reporting more in depth stuff than our TV, {unless of course you think that hockey is the most important conflict going on at the moment.} To those whistling in the dark, again I say lets have our ME discussion five years from now, we will then see with the gift of 20/20 hindsight who got it right. Again, good luck to you whatever your choice may be!
