To me, this is the key bit: instead of allowing them to carry on their way. They want free passage to pastures considerably greener, not an early and expeditious evaluation by considerably less magnanimous hosts. |

| #1 Are we not human beings?" Okay that's one question that need to be answered. "If we knew the corridor was like this, we would not come. You made your bed now lie in it. Why should other people be forced to take care of you? Inshallah? |
