Middle East always reminds me of the following, which I had read in a very readable book entitled ABSOLUTE ZERO GRAVITY authored by Betsy Devine and Joel E. Cohen. In it there is a a Poser On Solvers of Middle Eastern Problems: "God sent Moses and he couldnt fix it; He sent Jesus and He couldnt fix it; He sent Muhammad, and He couldnt fix it. Do you think you can fix it?"
I am tempted to ask, How can one call it Middle East? It is certainly not in the middle of East, Nor is it a part of of the East. Remember the Biblical reference to "going to the East". A more befitting name would be Middle-Yeast where one trouble or another is brewing round-the-clock, round-the year, round-the century, round the millenium. V.Shrinivas
