catch up trying to understand it ? some of us
and deal with that part of it that comprises a threat.
Some questions;
I) who does it comprise a threat to?
ii) what is the mechanism of that threat?
iii) what part of the "middle East" comprises this threat?
iv) what should we do about it?
v) what about the rest of the ME who DOESN'T comprise that threat?
