Oh, and many examples of Americans' cultural blindness causing difficulty abroad because "those people" don't act like Americans like they should.<br /><br />I read Dubya's brave words but all I can grok is that this braying asshole didn't know there were Shiites and Sunnis and the difference between the two and why that might be important. Oh, and 911 happened because our women wear short skirts and that really upset them (not sure whether that was the Sunnis or the Shiites, but it's probably both of them or not important).<br /><br />To understand Dubya, you only have to recall the role of the upper-class twit in British culture and a shared vision that they're all "wogs" anyway.bowtiejackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269786110593961195noreply@blogger.com
