I have an acquaintance with OI, she is a bad ass. Are you a bad ass?

Excellent, keep being a bad ass.

I would agree with you that it might be a preventative measure from stopping such people from getting on the plane. But the deterrent once they are on the plane is the locked cockpit door and the other passengers. We know now not take shit from ass clowns once the plane is in the air.

You mentioned the old city, religious capital is under international control. Is that arrangement agreeable to both sides and working well in practice? Could it be extended to the whole country? Clearly the two most interested parties are not capable of resolving the issue, so shouldn't the international community step in? The area of dirt being fought over is no more special than any other dirt. It's just had several thousand years of tradition poured into it that's caused the smartest creatures on this planet to forgo logic and reason in favor of emotion and primal rage. At what point do we say enough and take the toys from the entitled children? How about no one live there? Make it a historical, cultural landmark to remind us of how terribly wrong we get it sometimes.
