RE: "Your network, is your net worth" : I'm Krisite
The current era in the middle east seems to be defined by the power struggle between US and Russia (and China seems to want to join in the mess with its one belt one road initiative), and between regional powers Saudi Arabia and Iran. That's one of the important dimensions of the Syrian conflict. It's not looking good for repairing US-middle-east relations. The young Arabs and other Middle-Easterners I've met, 99% of them hate the US government to the core (of course it does not follow that they hate Americans).
It's scary right?
like fuck, I am judged by what Bush did just by association.
and Obama for that matter
But also, I cant help but think that greater diplomacy could help
Dun wry. Lots of Arabs can separate Americans with American gov't. Hell, if someone associated me with the HK gov't or Chinese gov't --- that IS a v scary thought. I agree though, diplomacy could help, probably greater cultural exchange too. R u thinking of a career in diplomacy?
