It would seem to me that you, Juan, would be the perfect Presidential Adviser on the Middle east for the incoming Administration. As a person who is conversant in the faith of Islam, as well as other faiths practiced in the region, someone who has spent time there AND speaks the language, not to mention your scholarly accomplishments on the topic, I can't imagine anyone better qualified to advise the next President on the ins and outs of what is going on there and to help him navigate, what appears to be now and promises to be going forward, quite a thorny path for US policy and activity in the region. Given that as a businessman, Trump seems to seek out what he can determine as the best of the best for whatever the job is, I'd really like to see your resume come across his desk. Granted, its not likely a position you would want, however, for the good of the nation and those involved, I think it would do a lot to have a voice like yours at the table when policy is being developed and implemented and/or action being considered. ...but hey, ...that's just me.
Really ,Juan,...WHY aren't YOU the Presidential Adviser on the Middle East?..WHO out there is more knowledgeable and authoritative? I don't get it. Whoever the next President is ought to be bringing you in for that job,...if of course you would want it, and I can understand why you might not want it. The nation ,however, NEEDS people like you to help guide us out of the mess we're in over there. Perhaps what is wrong cannot be fixed, and perhaps we ought not to be the ones fixing anything. The reality is though, that we have been exerting influence in the region for a long time now and given all the other influences and factions involved, its time we decided on on more effective course of action. I don't either Trump or Hillary with a real clue about what to do and how to do it, when it comes to dealing with that part of the world. Both are just more of the same and none of that has really been working for us.
There is no "independent press or media",..its ALL corporate owned and operated which is why we get spin rather than any real news. Stop watching and listening to this mind poison.

Yes, they could if they all were on the same page and had the same goal. They don't and this is why such a thing will never happen.
Well then, if he does that WHO is his grandfather going to send money to in the 40s?
Cowards, theives and thugs. Why is the international community putting up with this?
Let all these Jihadi groups be finished, already. ENOUGH!
