Joe D,
I am sorry for re-phrasing your words in a way you would find objectionable. I am sorry for mis-reading your intentions. I think in the midst of this discussion, I let passions get the best of me and I must have read to quickly. I am glad that I mis-read your words. I also consider you a friend.

Though politics can get quite heated at times, I always try to remind myself that good people can disagree.

I have lived in Asia for several years including both India and Nepal, though I have also travelled widely in other parts of Southeast (Thailand and Malasia) and East Asia (Japan, China, Hong Kong,Tibet, etc.). I am an academic who specializes and conducts research in South Asia. I was not a part of the foreign service, though I have a cousin who is. He recently completed a 3 year post in Cairo.
