What contributions would you consider valid ones?

The light bulb, penicillin, the first computer, the internal
combustion
engine and the automobile, space travel, airplanes, pre-emptive
strikes,
and
supply side economics. ;-)



Hmm. No literature. Not surprising, coming from the court jester.

lit·er·a·ture (ltr--chr, -chr)
n.
1.. The body of written works of a language, period, or culture.
2.. Imaginative or creative writing
I read a lot "imaginary or creative writing" everytime I read yours or
Harry's posts here on rec.boats...or whenever I visit the NY Times or
Washington Post website.

You also spew gibberish when you're trapped.

Trapped? By you? Puh-leeze. I asked you to name *one* Arab living in an
Arab country who has made a significant positive contribution to society
in
the last 100 years, and the best you came up with is a guy who writes
literature that 99.9999999% of the World has never read. Some impact!



Source of numbers, please. And, provide an explanation for the author's
presence in American literary critiques on a pretty regular basis.
