I get that. That’s why I recommended sources that will inform you of other perspectives. Khamenei, for example, has really good articles that often run counter to what you thought you would get. Putin’s transcripts are really interesting, relative to things our politicians say. Gaddafi wrote some prophetic articles.

Seek the people from places you want to learn about. I am on an Afghanistan kick right now so I brushed up my Farsi (Dari), made myself a bi-weekly visitor to the only Afghan restaurant in town, and cozied up to the owner. Turns out, he lives about 10 houses down and across the street from me. I’m taking his kids to ride motorcycles, we’re all going camping this summer, and we just broke through that point at which I told him I’m an inquisitive guy and am going to be asking lots of personal questions, not to take offense if I say something culturally ignorant because I’m trying to learn.
