You're stuck on the subject of what Arabs have done to the rest
of
the
world

Not "done to", but "done for" the rest of the World. What
positive
contributions have they made?

If *this* country had been sliced up and rearranged into meaningless
arrangements by foreign powers and a number of wars, you'd find that
OUR
contributions would be hindered somewhat. Survival would become more
important.


So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive
contributions
to
society from the Arab world in the last 100 years. Isn't that what I
said
last week? And what Harry said 2 1/2 years ago...before he changed his
mind?

I said nothing of the kind. What I said is true. If a country or region
is
ravaged by war, or politically manipulated in ways which were not
designed
to benefit the region, it has SOME EFFECT on the ability to function in
what
you or I would consider "normal". But, you deny that the Middle East has
been touched by us, Europe or Russia over the past 100 years

Oh, give it up. There have been many races, cultures, and nations which
have been tinkered with by outside influence over the years. Yet, most of
those have managed to make significant contributions to society despite
the
"oppression". Quit making excuses for the Arabs. They've contributed
zilch
over the last century.



Your attitude has one redeeming quality. You will raise your children to
think as you do. Therefore, companies like McDonald's and Wendy's will never
have problems staffing their front counters, and I will be able to get lunch
quickly.
