"Today's humans are far more intelligent to make the same mistake again....to sacrifice a foriegn culture and its potential benefits for short term profits.." Electic? just re-read this and think for a min...NOTHING change if you asks me! The whole Middle East was and still IS a very foreign culture to me and many others..and what did we DO over there over there not that long ago?? And if that whole mess was not for SHORT profit I don't know what is! we have a thousand years to go still to work on improving our behaviour towards each other...
