The main reason for all the tension from the beginning of man, remains as simple as understanding and reckognition of other peoples cultural HABITS.

I have been to the following countries after my release from the Marine Corps. Including 3 of them last year.

- Egypt
-Turkey
-Israel
-Cypruss
-Greece

This list does not include "friendly destinations I have visited".


It amazed me how when you meet these ppl. they fear you as you fear them. And how after a few strong beers, or tea if they are Muslim, they are people just as we are! (damn some of the tea is stronger than Jack Daniels, no joke).


They feel the same sadness that a few haters amongst millions can spread hatred so quickly.

I for one will always try and understand the adversity.
