It is not unusual for someone to excel in one area and be clueless in another. No they don't have to be an "idiot savant" nor an "affirmative action" hire in their main career. In fact it is unusual to find someone who excels at two very disparate challenging fields. Brain surgery is a tough demanding job. It doesn't leave a lot of time to hang out on the internet reading political news about the middle east. Ben Carson is as clueless about this stuff as a lot of physicians. So really it's time for the racists of the forum to knock it off with the "affirmative action" stuff and the Ben Carson apologists to come to terms with the fact a brain surgeon is not necessarily the best choice for a president.
On a completely unrelated note Assad was training as an eye surgeon.
