Thank you for your lovely message, Maya. It's great to hear from you. By the way, last week's Economist had&nbsp;an in-depth look at The Middle East. A lot of what it says coincides exactly with your thesis. A friend sent&nbsp;to me yesterday. I was going to send it to you tonight (as soon as I clear my inbox).<br /><br />Great weather, finally.<br /><br />Best wishes - George<br /><br />
