Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger
 lounge in Bozeman, Montana, while awaiting their respective flights.
 
 One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer.
 Another is a Cowboy on his way to  Billings for a livestock show and
 the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly  arrived at
 Montana State University from the Middle East .
 
 Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two
 Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the
 conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
 
 The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine
 table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind
 outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping;
 but still no plane comes.
 
 Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At
 one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
 
 The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my
 people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you
 suppose that is?"
 
 The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and
 from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl .  .
 
 "That's 'cause we  ain't  played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do
 believe it's a-comin'."
