| #10 The Ali Baba story treats Ali as a hero, who stole from robbers, turning the tables. Yet the name is used constantly in the ME as an epithet for a robber. Why is this? Mental laziness? The influence of some individual interpreter? He must be rehabilitated! |

| #3 First mention of the caves of the Euphrates. I also suspect that they are herding bad boyz into Qaim to concentrate them, then they will Falluja-ize the city, making it permanently off limits to all sorts of troublemakers. |
