The who's who of the Middle East Because we are ethnocentric Americans we can be excused for knowing that there is violence in the Middle East, but for not really knowing anything about the players involved. We know all about Snooki and the other fine people on Jersey Shore, American Idol and of course Lady Gaga. But this other stuff all the way on the other side of the world? Out of sight, out of mind! We have heard the names Egypt and Mubarak, maybe Libya too, but does it really matter? It's time for the weekend and plans have to be made. Where to go and what to do are the thoughts that dominate the mind on a Friday, right...
