[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Scottydog</i> <br /><br />Dammit Ed, your latest post has hit the nail right on the head. I lived in Jordan for two years and I saw the way the Jordanians were about King Hussein. If arabs have a strong figurehead, they are happy. We can not force anyone to accept our form of government nor should we. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Scottydog - I agree. I spent 2.5 years in Iran from 76 - 78. My dad worked for Grumman. Nixon sold Iran the F-14 and my family shipped out, along with half of Long Island. I was on the first official evacuation plane out before the fall of the Shah. <br /> <br />The people as individuals were very friendly. In a mass very different. Religion played a huge role in their lives. The more us Americans/Canadiens/Germans/Brits spend our influence/presence the less friendly they got (as a mass). <br /> <br />
