I'm all for seeing more justice around smear campaigns, however there's a long way to go. This is why I maintain a hefty chunk of skepticism around things that seem just a bit too coincidental and lack concrete, direct evidence. As the saying goes, a lie travels around the world in the time that the truth laces up it's boots.

But in the narrow sense it is just ridiculous to suggest that third-order connections among the upper classes in the Arab world and diaspora describe anything other than an endemic culture of class stratification and family privilege. Good fences make prognathism.
