That was a pretty neat trick in northern Yemen, I gotta admit. I just finished reading Holy War, Inc., by Peter L. Bergen, ex of CNN. He'd just about finished writing this book, subtitled "The Secret World of Osama bin Laden" when 9-11 happend, so naturally he had to add an extra chapter. Bergen travelled into the Hadramawt region (believed to be part of the Frankincense Trail where Lehi travelled, incidentally), home of the bin Laden clan, and also into northern Yemen, where the translator/driver's job was to stop at checkpoints, grab his Kalashnikov, and yell at people who also had Kalashnikovs. Pretty interesting territory.
Me, I get my frankincense at a head shop near the downtown Hyatt in Calgary every year. It's almost as safe, and a lot closer. ;-) Jim Cobabe wrote: > John W.
