Side issue; I worked with a guy from there for a time, and he explained to me how it was in that area of the world. He told me that the big problem is that there are factions whose only interest is in killing people of opposing factions, and so they need iron fisted dictators to keep those groups from killing each other.
So, it's not that he was a "good guy" but was legitimately interested in creating the best circumstances for the largest portion possible.
(The guy described them all as animals, and mentioned a story of someone he knew that went to Saudi Arabia and stole something and got his hand cut off... the guy complained to that coworker how they cut off his hand and how his response was to the effect of "You know what they do if you get caught stealing, why would you even take that risk?")
Seems like a common sense reply yet many people lack even the slightest bit of common sense... Cheers fren...
You also have to factor in that "common sense" is something of a relative term. The common sense in an area that is much more hostile generally is going to be different from the common sense of looking both ways before crossing the street.
Agreed but when you know you will lose a hand for stealing and you steal any way imho you lack common sense... Cheers...
That much for sure...
