I don't have time right now to write a thoughtful response mjordan. I do, however, propose an offer. Wipe the Middle East from the face of the planet with nukes. It's obviously a country that's sociologically a thousand years behind the times, while only about ten years technologically behind. Way out of proportion. Like I said I don't have time, so I can't explain how useless of a region it is. On top of that, would you miss it? Would anyone miss it?
