[Austin-ghetto-list] Somber Reading

[Jon Ford]

Normal, sane reasoning would be on Mike's side here--but life is neither 
normal nor sane in the Middle East. Take an angry Arab, Afghani, 
Palestinian,or Pakestani kid, maybe living in a relocation camp, very pious 
Muslim, with zero chances of ever making it to America (no rich cousin in 
California) or even affording cologne or a nice tight suit and good shoes, 
and offer him several years of education in Germany and flight school in 
Florida, nice expense account, etc., in return for dying for Allah at a 
certain point, and I believe there would be quite a few takers! What's the 
alternative? 20 years  of unemployment in a relocation camp? Picking through 
garbage?
