I meant it as the same.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling that middle eastern cultures are so different from ours that we would still have a difficult time understanding, even with learning more about it (on top of what we read in the news).

I think at times we fail to look into their culture and understand where they are standing, and why. We have a habit of pushing our "ways" on others. It makes it more difficult for us, because they see us as pushy at times. <BR/><BR/>I agree that education, or lack there of, is a major issue in dealing with these situations.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214969358950690069noreply@blogger.com
