This is THE most wonderful place. I'm so glad I found it. In my time here I've seen somebody named "Registered" who's talent is phenomenal; I've seen the members of this place sending in their hard-earned dollars to keep it running; the educational benefits are mind-boggling and many posters are not shy about sharing their expertise with others; and the savvy media watchdogs here! What a wonder this FreeRepublic.com is! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

You are right, I want to thank all those who via private replies have helped me understand the Middle East just a bit better.
