Was a student of Political Science for 13 years. Then got interested in teaching and did so for a short while. Asked by my government to be the Media Attache in DC. Did that and learned a lot while achieving a lot. Now, back out of government, working for Bahrain's economic well-being, and blogging again. Why am I rare?
