Those Crazy Poor Middle Easterners

I greatly enjoyed the movie “Crazy Rich Asians” because, beyond the many
 laugh lines, it reminded me of an important point: Rich Asia has gotten
 really rich — not because it doesn’t have political, tribal, ethnic and
 religious differences like other regions, but because in more places on
 more days it learned to set those differences aside and focus on 
building the real foundations of sustainable wealth: education, trade, 
infrastructure, human capital and, in the most successful places, the 
rule of law. Most of Asia became prosperous not by discovering natural 
resources but by tapping its human resources — men and women — and 
giving them the tools to realize their potential.

Yep, choose the fight you are in (win or lose how do you tell the difference) or making money.
