Several Arab groups met in Washington to get to know their representatives and begin the process of acting like they live in America and plan to take full advantage of the fact. They want to lobby...make sure they get equal protection under the Constitution, while there is yet enough of it left to benefit anyone but white males...and genrally show that they are HERE and plan to take their responsibilites and rights seriously.
And us? If we gathered in Washington it would be denounce each other...to sink our teeth into each other's thighs...to dispute over who is a Chaldean and who isn't...what an Assyrian is and what a Jacobite can't be...what Maronites are made of and what you can make with them. We would genrally bewilder and befuddle our representatives and the press with the result that the Humane Society and ther Society for The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would be called out to muzzle us and lead us away to cages where we could be with our "friends".
You suppose we have anything we could learn from Arabs...or are Cannibals going to be our role models forever?
