    - This perspective, of course, implies that the Islamic world is "behind" or otherwise inferior to the post-Christian West.

    - It used to be that a case like this would support the above point.

    - I am generally sympathetic to the homeless because I see myself as only a couple of steps removed from where they are. People do, in fact, doubt my sanity from time to time, but a curious notion is that they all shut up when my daughter arrived; I cannot speculate on this notion beyond merely mentioning it for sake of preventing a digression. It is enough to say, however, that a case like this (Jordan) would support the "above point" if only "we" were not a stone's throw from "there". Of course, a stone's throw is all we ever had.

    thanx,

    Never mind.

    Fair 'nuff

    I'll live with that. I put a question mark in the topic title for exactly that reason.
