On c'mon! If I wanted to insult your "half-Iranian" background, or any other ethnic group for that matter, I would have done a MUCH better job than that - trust me! What do you mean "Why did they pick a nice place for the WTO guys?" (I would refer to them as delegates, and they are not all "guys") Would you rather they held the meeting somewhere in the Middle East, like TEH or TLV for example? I dont think so!!! Now go take your "lighten up" pill and relax. I have no intention of insulting either you, the Saudi's, Iranian's or anybody else for for that matter. Remember, this is a "Fun Aviation Group", isnt that correct Roger? Liam.

That Saudi comment, no > matter what their position is currently, insults a lot of people who have nothing > to do with the Saudi government.
