.....And your credentials are???....

I am an expert in trade and traded with the GCC for 20 years before my retiremnet. I still deal with international trade on a daily basis especially with containers and traffic.

I have diligently followed the progress of the war since it began in 1991 and see the parts now being played by our GCC allies in assisting our efforts.

I am not a Christian bigot who hates Muslims because of an inability to think.

I have met and conversed with many young American educated Arabs who know the score and are working to make their world a better place. We must not betray them and fearfully hide from the real Alqeada bad guys.

Yes, stereotyping is just so bad, isn't it?

Of course, you are clearly too intelligent and learned to make that mistake.
