    I think a lot of this stems from the idea that human stupidity/actions can not trump divine providence.

    I heard a story one time from a guy at Ft. Rucker about when they tried to train Egyptian helicopter pilots on emergency procedures. They would cut power or something and the Egyptians would throw up their hands and yell "Allah Akbar" and scare the crap out of the instructors.

    There's something to be said for a strong faith but common sense has to come into play too.

    In the US we try to enforce seat belt laws. It looks like in the Mid East they just need to start with "Please stay inside the moving vehicle."

    Cmoon , it is not fair !!!

    I am an arabian from the Middle East, and women can drive everywhere in the middle east EXCEPT in Saudi Arabia. I live in Dubai and we always have jokes about woman drivers (not in a sexist sense , but in a humorous sense ;)

    @Qutaiba_ELLEEL: After watching these videos, I'll bet one of the jokes is that women drivers are as bad as the men.

    @Qutaiba_ELLEEL: Now I know who buys all those beige Camrys!

    I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that, despite it being quite dangerous. Because if I had the money (And lots of tires), I probably would do the same thing.

    One popular sport in the Mid East is driving on two wheels, which I’m sure doesn’t help matters.

    (I'm not able to watch the videos so maybe this is already up there under the rowdy youths)

    They also like to perform high speed drifting stunts on the state highways to entertain the regular drivers.

    @monsterajr:

    The owner of the car can actually be reimbursed by the Government in some cases. I can't speak for this video but I can speak for my brother who was a Abram's crewman in OIF 1 and 2 with the USMC. If they messed someones stuff up when it didn't need to be messed up, the owner could get a check written if they went through the proper channels.

    During OIF 1 you didn't see many cases of that, we where still full tilt boogy fighting, same for the first half of OIF 2 but near it's end you could see it happen.

    I guess this is a bit off topic but am I the only one confused as to why they photoshopped Qatar out of map their using to headline the story? I thought something was missing from the Persian Gulf, and I can now easily see they just removed Qatar. How rude!

    The real story of Icarus lies here, in the Cradle of Civilization, which gave us the zero, algebra, medicine, philosophy, some of the most fascinating travel writing, wonderful poetry and fiction, and now would see us return to the Stone Age.
