Over the last couple weeks I had encounters with an American   
    living in South Africa, an Australian, and an Egyptian. All in   
    one group.   
      
    The Egyptian is a grad student here at the University of Toledo.   
    He talked of how every year he went back to Egypt for the summer   
    break, and things were peaceful, then he came back here and all   
    hell broke out over there. This year he decided to stay here to   
    try to move up his degree completion, so naturally things went   
    to hell there early.   
      
    The American was asked if Americans were liked in South Africa.   
    She said they were fairly well, because the US didn't colonize   
    South Africa or the neighbors. All we did was send teachers and   
    missionaries. Those missionaries were not backed by guns.   
      
    The Australian is an executive with a statistical research firm.   
    He paid for lunch. Nice guy.
