Saturday, February 25, 2012, 11:00 AM ETDr. Doom at the helm of the World Bank? Blackhawk's Ziad Abdelnour makes the case to select Nouriel Roubini for the top job based on his "strong sense of reality" as witnessed by his call on the collapse of the U.S. housing market.

And, I know all about his parents and his studies in Italy an his other abilities.. In my many posts concerning Israel an warning about Iranian agents coming through the Mexican tunnels got my old handle barred. We have communicated under my old name years back......
My point was that 99% of SA haven't a clue about him !
And remember... You agreed a long time back that Anti-Jewish is not the same as Anti-Semitic ,but, I'll let you slide here as Persians are anti-Semitic as they don't care for Arabs or Zionist Jews.
And, I think the Dr holds several passports..........Shalom
