Compared to his father, Havez, he's an enlightened ruler. It may sound demeaning, but most Americans below the age of forty have trouble identifying our own States on a map and if you show them a globe and ask them point to the Middle East their fingers will land somewhere around Perth, Australia. Our schools have dumbed our people down to the level of what a century ago would have passed for a low grade moron. Most college graduates wouldn't be able to pass the exam they were using in 1900 to qualify someone for a high school diploma.

We've got no business screwing around with the politics in a region with dozens of variations of three religions, where the inhabitants have been inbreeding for centuries and cutting each others throats for millennia, and where all of them are or soon will be your enemy. American diplomacy in the region has become the equivalent of a chimpanzee with a machine gun.
