Yes, and again people like he and Jesse Jackson tend to confuse the
scene far more than they can help as they are seen as somehow being
an 'official' of the US government.  There are a lot of cultural
reason for this, not the least of what is that they are tending to
deal with cultures in what only those with official sanction would
think of or be in a position to act in a 'diplomatic fashion'.
