That's true.  Obviously I've gone into a territory that the average person cannot possibly grasp.  This style of writing is something that cannot be taught at any university, it must be learned from sweating it out for years just thinking these things up out of thin air.  I stand corrected.

yeah, it's a gift.  And it's also not easy to pick a town in Iraq, any town at all, and put the words "The Holy City of " in front of it.  That's skill, man, skills you & I could never hope to attain.
