Up until 9/11…[America told the Arab world] here’s the deal: Keep your pumps open, keep your prices low, and don’t bother the Jews too much, and you can do whatever you want out back….treat your women badly…deprive your people of whatever civil rights you like…educate your children to be intolerant of other faiths as much as you like…preach from your mosques any venom that you care to…” - Tom Friedman, “Hot, Flat and Crowded” (page 107)
