HanabataDays>  First, Your statement regarding regarding Assad is irrelevant to my post,  which mentions nothing about Assad.  Second, my post has nothing to do with cops shooting anybody.  My post is focused on how to deal with the arabs, in general.  If you have had any experience with any military operations dealing with the arabs, you would have no questions about my post.  You are somewhat correct in that "might makes  right."  You can only be "right" if you show them you mean business, through your "might."
