L.K.Eder
unbannable non-troll
That he is currently working at the LSE (London School of Economics) as the Phillippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs, for 2010-11 should - to anyone with anything over a basic grasp of academia, evidence his substantial experience. He is also a regular speaker at conferences around the world on subjects surrounding international relations.
I can understand why you want to shoot the messenger but it's a fail. His advice is sought by both EU and US governments. They - even this Administration - considers him an expert. Perhaps that is not sufficient for you..... because you don't like what he said.... but, everyone with an interest in International Relations knows Professor Ferguson and respects his opinions.
that does not make him an expert in the history of egypt.
the guy is an expert in something, alright.
look up his biography and his publications once more, maybe you can find it out.
and try to not confuse critical thinking with confirmation bias, you need an education.

how do you know that i don't like what he said in this instance?
i don't like what YOU write, little girl.
you are full of contradictions, self-aggrandizing and self-congratulating while demonstrating that you are trying to wear shoes which are too big for you. and obviously not yours.
that's why i call you out, you opinionated cowardly little brat.
Seriously, you bore me with your constant whining and bullshit about me, L.K. You think I give a shit what you 'think' of me? No. Not in the slightest. But I do mind when you blatantly lie about me to other posters. Which I why I pretty much ignore your ranting. I dislike people who lie.
I don't really care whether YOU accept Ferguson's expertise. What matters is that the US Government does... and they do. As does the UK Government.... and a variety of other global institutions.... which is why he gets invited to speak at international conferences.... on ME affairs. I'm sure that's irrelevant.... perhaps they ask him to speak because he doesn't know jack shit about the region? Seriously, you should not let your attitude towards me get the better of you... it makes you look foolish.
source to my lying about you, pronto.
