Your argument about "comparing us to Norway" is a complete fallacy, in fact it's a classic case of a straw-man argument.Mohammed Gamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581638585609777869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-44937207811876108002010-09-26T03:40:51.119+03:002010-09-26T03:40:51.119+03:00@ Sayed Kotb
