I guess survival in the Middle east means keeping yourself well armed and amongst friends.

Now that they've beheaded yet another, I am considering adding a kevlar collar to my psk. Fortunately, I have no plans to go to Saudi, unless they are going to hijack my plane on the way to Tucson, that is.

What a sad state of affairs.
