Very interesting, and it parallels something I am interested in. Have you ever heard of the Genographic project?

It was of great interest to me to find that my DNA strain was found in 10,000 -year-old burials in Jericho, and in 25000 year old bones in Ethiopia, and its ancient distribution mirrored ancient distribution of Afro-Asiatic (Semito-Hamitic) languages. Also, this particular strain is among the slowest travelling, never seen outside the Mediterranean basin/North Africa/Middle East area until historic times, and mainly seen in agricultural burials (not nomadic) -- which mirrors the innate conservatism which imbues every member of my immediate family...

Just watched the final episode of Sopranos. Brilliant! As the jukebox plays DON'T STOP BELIEVING, in a restaurant full of people each of whom may or may not be what they seem to be, a family that just won a battle enjoys greasy onion rings (rings having neither beginning nor end) while realizing that they must watch their backs.
Forever.
A fitting metaphor for the world in general, and Middle East in particular.
