Very interesting, but they have one thing in common, they are all either lebanese or syrians christians who emmigrated to north and south america.

they are as far as venezuala and chile.

they are idiologically similar to the americans,and even so they are more conservative because they hail from the oldest churches of christianity- syria.

it deosn't suprise me ,but i didn't know about mitchell.

thanks for the insight though

And also, West Virginia's senator is of arab decent. Yknow who else has an Arab blood----that chick from MTV Shakira. God! she's sexy. And she can shake her thingy.

 

Also, it was an Arab dude who said that famous quote------Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what u can for your country.

 

Arabs are really powerfull in this country----but they everyhardly put into a use.

You are very right Libaax. That line was wrote by an Arab guy for JFK.

Didn't know folks took the time out of their day to find out the names of Shakira's brothers and sisters. I know I wouldn't. But anyway, don't know if you all know but, Robert Novak from CNN's "Cross Fire" is also of Arab decent.

 

Don't know what it is. Maybe i'm just a huge racist, but I can't stand Arabs. Can't quite put my finger on it. Oh well!
