Sorry, clearly I need more caffein before posting. You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up -- the name choosers are clearly suffering from the results of inbreeding.

Actually TW, I would say that they are suffering from pan-arabic overstatement syndromeâ¢ ... All of the people in that region are given to wild overstatement (remember Baghdad Bob?)

I used to think that this was limited mainly to arabic speakers, but reading Khomeini, the Young Turks, and hearing Ahmadinejad carrying on have disabused me of this notion.

#7 True, Chinter Flarong9283, but I'll bet you never thought to connect Pan-Arabic Overstatement Syndromeâ¢ (or should we be open-minded and call it Pan-Muslim, etc, or Dar al Islam, etc... near-East/Mid-East won't work, because the Israelis don't do it, not even the ones who came from that part of the world) to inbreeding. ;-) Lovely diagnosis, by the way. It's a keeper.

#8 TW,

Thank you! You're right, I never paid attention to how close their eyes seem to be... :-)

To expand my now-approved diagnosis a bit more:
- Don't test Israel, there is too much European influence. Israel will NEVER suffer from PAOS.
- Don't test the Christians either. Some of the worst effects of PAOS are neutralized when you are heavily outnumbered and everyone want to kill you (This goes for Israel as well!)
- I think the interesting test would be: do the Iraqi Kurds suffer from it? Are they given to the wild passionate fantasies that everyone else in the area seems drunk on?

Sadly, I don't know any Kurds. So: no data = no theory.

#9 CF9283, all the Kurds I've met have been charmingly tied into reality; but I've never been to their native habitat, so I can't say if they just adjust well to their new environment. I don't know if it counts as a data point, but
the English king Richard Lionheart thought very highly of Saladin, and counted him as a friend. ;-)
