People like that plus the DUmmies have what I think of as the "Noble Brown Man Syndrome." As in, brown people can do no wrong. You see it in those 3 American moonbats who went hiking in Iraq and ended up in an Iranian prison. "Two guys and a girl go hiking in Iraq? What could possibly go wrong?"
I can also point the finger at myself as a young bride. "Marry an Arab? What could possibly go wrong?"
