Thank you for your balanced and knowledable post.
Probably today’s mid-east is more frightening than your experiences, but I’m sure that when one looks around you, most people know when it’s time to move on.
Knowledgeable is valuable, but balanced is not. If you are truly knowledgeable, there is no need for balance. It just makes you sound liberal.
