Loose-wire has a point (hello Roger!). The macro politics often don’t affect the micro ones. I was in Tehran in 2009 when there were riots against Britain, complete with flag-burning etc. But people were charming and polite to me because they knew my name wasn’t Tony Blair. I experienced the same in Pakistan when the Taliban were moving into Swat valley and the same in Saudi when I drove a lorry in there just after 9/11. I knew the border official wasn’t Bin Laden and he knew I wasn’t Geo Bush.
While the political children destroy the world around us, we grown-ups just get on with commerce and industry (and education). Not rocket science. Robert
