Is the Arab weapon of playing dumb very dangerous?

Question

If you think they are dumb that is just fine with them.

Answer 1

The US way of playing coward sucks even more. Strolling in the Middle East with the world's so-called most high tech military and crying when it takes low casualties.

Answer 2

Its not that they are playing dumb, its that the western powers that be think they are.  I dont think they care what the U.S. and her allies think of them. You have to remember that they all thought the Viet-Cong and  Castro were dumb.

Answer 3

Under estimating your enemy is dangerous.

I've not seen any evidence of arabs playing dumb.
