Jen is having a conversation with Sally, an expert on the Middle East.
So you grew up in Connecticut but your an expert on the Middle East?
Yes, I am. I have read countless books about it, and I went to the best University.
Hmmm, well what do you know about the Middle East exactly?
I know that every book I've read says it is a violent and backwards place in need of help from Western civilizations.
So, have you ever been there, or read anything about it that wasn't from a Western text book?
Well why would I go there when I've already read all about it, and I know that it's a violent and backwards place?
