Sorry about that....
Wow! I get a chuckle from a "Usama-in-a-cave-in-Arizona" story and you are able to divine that I am obsessed with Arabs. Are you related to the Kook? Great Ethnic Prophet, perhaps?
Over the years I have enjoyed your posts and have developed a respect your insights on motorcycle issues. I am sorry that my post stepped on one of your sensibilities. I will endeavor to avoid doing so in the future.
For the record, I am not obsessed with Arabs, or, for that matter, any other ethnic group or nationality. My personal philosophy embodies the libertarian principle that "respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized" (

This philosophy extends to international relationships as well. Were the libertarian philosophy to prevail, the US would never have been involved in the Arab wars, Vietnam, Korea, WWI, or the European theater of WWII. Our foreign policies would resemble those of Switzerland armed and trained to secure our sovereign borders against attack and party to absolutely no foreign treaties. No treaties, no wars. Hey, who hates Switzerland?
So there you go. Far from a ******* bigot, it turns out that I am a leather-clad-motorhead version of a 1960s hippie (minus the hallucinogenic drugs and aversion to bathing). Peace & love, baby!
