Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same
How fukkin' absurd
Boy howdy, we're your friends

It appears that after this pesky war is over, the State Department will start publishing a magazine about American culture to be distributed in Arab countries. The name of the magazine is Hi.
I dunno. I've traveled in Egypt and Dubai and Oman and Muslim northern Nigeria, and they just weren't "hi" kinds of places. They were "you are very welcome in my home" kinds of places, and "you must pay the double because-it- is-Wednesday fee" kinds of places, and even "once again you have misunderstood everything, but please have some flat bread" kinds of places.
But not "Hi!"
