Howdy hempity,
You ask: "you say you have lived among them, was their pace of life that fast?"
Nope,their pace of life wasn't very fast,except when on the highways,then they drove like a runaway train..lol.
You ask: "Aren't most of their dealings with each other and foreigners done with some grace and humility?"
Yup..I refused to do the kiss on the cheek thing tho..the french do that too..figures..lol. Most of the time they just glared angrily at us,though and the families that lived too close to us,moved away.
You ask:"Don't most of the tribesmen follow a strict code of ethics?"
Yup..but that 'code' of ethics,includes honor killings,stoning,beheading and limb amputation..the result was that ya didn't have to worry about locking yer doors at night against burglars,it was just the tribesman that wanted to kill us infidels,that we had to worry about.
You ask: " Just how much time do you think the average family man in iraq has time to plot the destruction of the infidels?"
Well I didn't go into Iraq,so I can't really answer that,but for Saudi men,they probably had a few hours each night,after the last prayer call..the tv was boring as heck and we didn't hardly bother turning it on,it was all in arabic and that was before Al Jazzera was even thinking of having an english channel..lol.
America was simply the first to develope a successful nuke,both japs and nazi's were working on nukes too and the russians were on the verge of doing such too.
So are you implying that our enemies shouldn't ever be held accountable for their actions-that no matter what the reason-America is the only one to blame if the nukes start flying ?
It seems that in yer eyes,America can do no right..and our enemies can do no wrong....
Have a good one ...
