Re: by the way...
our learn by doing online MBA program finally launched and seems to be going very well
I have been asked to help market it around the world; I am meeting with 9 Asian embassies in DC next week to discuss licensing it and running it locally or else enrolling their students in La Salle in Spain (actually Andorra, but that's another story)
did any of your Arab buddies express an interest in education? it's a pretty good modern day MBA if I do say so myself

i think you should remove the word education from your vocabulary. It doesn't mean to others what it means to you. therefore, there is almost no meeting of the minds. They would like new ideas to help build a country. "education to them means indoctrination".
