    English is my second language and I consider my English exceptional.

    It actually sounds a lot like something someone using a second language would use.

    to be fair, most of the leaders of revolutionary movements around the world are University educated, with some having enrolled abroad,

    Yeah anyone who has taken Spanish courses and has friends who speak Spanish will know this (or any language). I use to get problems wrong when I would give my hw to my Spanish speaking friends because they wouldn't use the proper form.

    I live in Mexico and you are wrong. None of them would ever use the word 'sorrowful'. Even the Mexicans who speak fluent English. Again, I am sure the Syrian people are very lovely, but I doubt they, who speak English as a second language, produced those sentences. I am positive Google translate didn't produce those sentences.

    the only way to prove your statement is for you to interact with them, you'll be surprised for sure with the results, Syria isn't exactly what the media portrays it to be

    Syria has nothing to do with.

    Also your pick above is wrong and incredibly insulting.

    then try reading some English literature written by poets from countries with English as second, or even third language, you'll be surprised with the quality of their work, let alone their grammar

    I saw reference (meaning I didn't see it on my news feed) to some Facebook pics comparing how long it took to capture OBL and these two dudes. I wish I had seen it cause I'd remind them how fast McVeigh was caught.

    I never call or would call you ignorant, xenophobic maybe,

    So xenophobic that I live in Mexico......

    and you did call me ignorant. Telling me to 'go read some stuff' suggests I need to educate myself and thus ignorance.

    They are tough in a different kind of way.

    I don't think that Houston would be so willing to accept Marshall law...

    Also Texas has a LOT of guns...

    If this happened in Texas, we would have a bunch of wanna be cowboys trying to be hero, probably one of the innocent suspected bombers on reddit would've been shot or killed before FBI official declared them as the suspects, or said gun-waving wanna be hero will be killed by police amidst the confusion, or have more innocent lives put at risk by becoming a hostage pursuing the suspect, or kill an innocent child or bystander shooting at the suspect.
