Abstract

That Iranian-Arab aversion that Luce encountered in the course of his shuttle diplomacy is real. But it is only part of the truth. What we are dealing with is a mixture of fact, distortion, stereotype, and myth. In a reasonable world, the realities of history, ethnography and geography would be fixed; but in our world they are not. We can take them as our starting point, but the problem is that for every reality, we are almost certain to find counter-reality.
