If anyone's interested, we can open up another thread and I can share with you what this guy talked about. On a side note, the Syrian Ambassador came to speak to our class a few days ago. Very interesting stuff he had to say. We can open a thread on that too. The Israeli Foreign Minister is supposed to come next week. /end tangent
