Bullsh8! Assuming Aimster's post is confirmed, it's great to know there are some thinking minds among Arab leaders.
There's enough wrong on all sides in the middle east, but in this case, Hezbollah struck first by kidnapping Israelis and firing rockets into Israeli territory from Lebanon, and now, they're crying because Israel hit
back.
Hezbollah is the aggressor, here, and any "unity" behind their bad idea is nothing more than a lemming mentality, marching nose to asshole to their own mass self destruction.
There would be no terrorists if there was a united arab federation. They would probably be one of the most powerful economic state. The basic cause of terrorism is poverty and lack of education. American policies are the fuel.
However the US would never let this happen. The arabs would be controlling the world econmoy with the oil they have. I would seriously like to see a lose federation of Arab nations emerging soon. They have commom interests, and a common religion. Israel would be crushed once all muslim nations (including Iran and Pakistan) join in. The only way America can ensure a soverign Israeli state is by using the
divide and rule theory. That was the whole purpose of breaking the Ottomon empire after WW2.
And clearly, what they have done in Iraq is divide arabs further by installing another puppet government in the region. Iran and Syria are the only "free" states that still pose a threat to Israel.
And I would never support a democracy in Arabia. Firstly people still support clans and religious leaders which they follow blindly. Secondly, poverty means votes can be bought. And Third and perhaps the most important reason is the the lack of education makes it easy for people to be manipulated. The Arabs are NOT clever enough yet (the majority of the population) to chose a leader that will actually benifit them in the long term. Its ridiculous in my view that America thinks that the same people that can be brainwashed to blowing themselves up can vote for their own leader. (See what happened with Hamas). I agree with Putin when he says a democracy like in America can not work in most parts of the world.
The only good that comes from small states is more autonomy for the Kings and often self proclaimed leaders which equals to more money for their own pockets.
Peace and prosperty can only be bought to the ME if a united federation of Arab states is created. With large ecomnic zones created (EU, US, China and India with more than a billion people each), it is imperative that the arabs settle their internal differences and join into an economic based Union.
