My hero! A lot of what I know comes political and anthropological comes from reading this gentleman's writings. In essence, I'll guess that Mr.Hanson thinks it's cool and proper we go through this public debate re our involvement in the affairs of the ME. He probably says we'll be guided to the proper path through the open exchange of ideas.
/Hanson turned me onto the idea the invention of the stirrup helped catapult Spain to world dominance for a spell of history. That's a staggering thought. A little piece of bent metal and leather straps made conquest possible.
