Too much going on in my life right now to expand upon this, but I offer a brief query for your consideration:
Given that there were uber-powerful political, intelligence, military, cultural, and economic players on both sides of the Iron Curtain who, in George Michael Evica's memorable phrase, were "above Cold War differences," do you concede that there are similar players on both sides of the Jordan who are above Arab/Israeli and Islam/infidel differences?

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
