Roger that Jimbo. So is Kuwait and Jordan. Since the King of Jordan married an American she has had some influence over the direction Jordan is heading.

One thing I have noticed in these ME countries, is the stark difference between the classes. The rich keep it in the family. The poor are indoctrinated into a religion that keeps them poor and the middle class are one to two steps ahead of the poor, yet a hundred steps behind the rich.

Even though this article has nothing to do with the ME...this a classic example of what I have noticed that takes place in the ME.
