Or as the Italian Prime Minister said, an inferior culture. It isn't covered, but it is widely known the Islamics cannot be trusted. They don't even trust each other, often turning on one another, in war and commerce. Cheating is a cultural "virtue."

Western business interests don't like uncertainty, so they avoid situations where there is no "institutional" provision for stable, ongoing operations. Aside from oil and arms, what business enterprises engage in the risk of dealing with these folks?

Clicking on the "Hugh Hewitt bump_list" is sort of like doing a "Find in Forum" for Hugh. Since he is NOT a registered FReeper, we created this imaginary profile for him, courtesy of John Robinson's wonderful new software.

Although he cannot respond here - that's why he has a RADIO SHOW! - ANYONE can post a reply To: Hugh Hewitt on ANY thread that you think will be of interest to Hugh and/or his listeners, and it will show up whenever any of us click on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/involved?group=81. Kewl, eh?
