You should rethink stereotyping people with finalities such as this. There are plenty of geopolitically astute people and war correspondents who know probably more than you about the "middle east"....there are probably oil barons in Iran that know more about the Texan oil business than either of us. To have progressive discussions about geopolitical issues it's probably best to not make assumptions about the awareness of anyone. You should also realize that you too are subjected to your own government's nationalistic propoganda whether you're aware of it or not. We all are. It's filtering out the bullshit to get to the truth that is the purpose of speculating at all. The west is full of middle eastern people....I have Ukranian friends and Israeli friends in America. We're not isolated like North Korea nor are you. I like hearing your viewpoint on Israel but I won't tell you what Israeli's don't know. That door swings both ways.
