I say **Noone Special** - great to see an articulate voice from Israel on the boards. Please don’t be a stranger. If only we had a few similar voices from within various MENA countries who were also inclined to post here, perhaps we might not have needed to rely upon **Collounsbury** as much as we do. You see, it’s my observation that 95% of Great Debate threads are created by American members of the SDMB with a desire to obtaining a greater “world view” than they already have. Sometimes they feel the need to be reassured on a given matter. Other times they’re just plain confused by what’s happening in the Middle East. Whatever, the more “non Americans” who post, in particular, those who are presently living in the regions being discussed, well the more the better. Your preseence here is worth a million bucks. Please post regularly. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/us-arab-media-losing-hearts-and-minds-high-on-the-hobby-horse/191445.md?page=3)
