Good morning fellow bloggers,

                Today we kick off the new blog that will take us half away across the world and into the professional and business lives of those in the Middle East.  This diverse part of the world has politicians and financial experts a buzz these days with the new U.S. administration.  On top of these two topics, we may dabble a bit in U.S. foreign policy as it relates to the war efforts that have spanned the past six decades.  Some of us have spent time in the region and have experienced firsthand how the culture and people interact with one another and with outsiders.  Please join us for an engaging and interactive discussion of Syria and the Middle East that will have everyone on the edge of their seats.

Thanks for joining us,

Dustin and Eric
