It's a cautionary note, a reminder that the waves of trade that knit us together can ebb as well as flow. There is a famous passage in The Economic Consequences of the Peace, written by John Maynard Keynes in 1920, which every student of globalization knows by heart.

After 9/11, and the discovery that 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, the flow of students from the desert kingdom to the United States largely dried up. Now the U.S. and Saudi governments are cooperating on a program to encourage more Saudi students to come to the U.S. for college. TIME's Jeff Chu went to Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, where the Saudi contingent now numbers more than 30. Here are some of their thoughts about life on a U.S. campus, and Americans' view of their homeland...
