I have read the initial post by Allegra and all of the ensuing attacks against her --- quite frankly, I'd go as far as to simply call it ignorance --- yes, a number of the responses to her have been outright rude --- but mostly, it is ignorance. As someone who has traveled in the Middle East, I absolutely understood immediately what she said. I also think that anyone who hasn't traveled there, or had an exposure that wasn't CNN-ized, etc., easily will cop the sentiments of the tag-a-long bunch here.

Thank you for your kind and rational comments.

I think this thead got stuck on stupid for a bit. It drew some moonbats out for some reason and they did some good moonbat barking. ;-)
