SO WHAT ARE THE ARAB STATES WAITING FOR?
7/15/06
Far be it for me to give advice or encouragement to a warring party in any war, but just as an observer I have to wonder why the Arab League of Nations isn’t taking advantage of the latest conflicts in Lebanon. Isn’t Lebanon one of the Arab states, even though it is a new democracy?
You would think that instead of just talking about it (like the talker and chief G.W Bush) the Arab nations would really take action and kick Israeli butt. Let me state that I am no military or diplomatic expert , but I have been an observer of Middle East politics for the last 3 or more decades and it seems that right now would be the perfect time for the Arab States to attack Israel in full force. The U.S is completely distracted by North Korea , Iraq and Afghanistan, while the British have over half of their special forces in Afghanistan and most of their army in Iraq. Few are aware that current reports state that the British are holding over 10,000 Iraqis prisoners. The Russians and Chinese could care less about the Israelis and are more likely encouraging the Arab states to move in to fight. “Here is another 10 billion in arms and money my Arab friends.” Can’t you hear” Pooti Poot” telling Iran’s president to go for it, then hangs up the phone and goes out to meet G.W in a hand holding photo shoot.
As long as G.W Bush “The Idiot and Chief ” is still the President of the U.S the entire Arab and Muslim world can take advantage of soaring oil prices, friendly relations with Russia and China and of course great fun holding the proverbial testicles of all European and American diplomats and heads of state over the proverbial fire. Think of it as a part of their revenge for Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, 60 years of occupation of Palestine and the countless deaths and the billions of dollars of destruction done to Arab states by the western allies and Israel.
Who is dumb enough to believe that the Arab countries provoked this war with Israel? Israel has been destroying Palestinian homes and lives in total reckless abandon for the last two years. Finally they stole all Palestinian monies and taxes and refused to pay Palestinian government payrolls and pensions. They built a forty foot high separation wall between Israel and Palestine and fired missiles and tank shells on innocent and helpless Palestinian families and targeted children playing on beaches and in playgrounds. Israel is the thief, the provocateur and murderer, and Israel is holding 8000 Palestinian political prisoners. Israel and the U.S refuse to recognize a legitimately elected government of Palestine, and the Palestinian Government has agreed to acknowledge the right of Israel’s existence; even though Israel has not the legitimate right to occupy all previously owned lands belonging to the Palestinians, and will not allow over three million Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland. Hamas and Hezbollah are the logical outgrowths of the wrongful occupation and brutal treatment of the Palestinian people. The outrage of all Arab and Muslim nations can only be expected. If the Western countries were as exploited and insulted as the Palestinian people are, and it’s people were subjected to bombings and flyover spy planes and economic sanctions and military occupations, we would certainly be a unified force fighting against the aggressors. So why can’t the western countries see these warring actions by the Arab States as their rightful act of defending themselves and standing up for their dignity and self respect, as a people and a nation, who are demanding the basic human rights that belong to all people.
The Middle East has always been in crisis, but now more than any time in history the weapons available to all warring factions are the most deadly ever known in human history. Who can tell if all this is leading to end times prophecies or not? As a simple observer I see this new conflict as the direct outcome of the idiotic foreign policy of G.W Bush, the wrongful alliance and tolerance of Israel by the U.S and western nations and the acts of desperate and angry people; who will go to war against the world before they would deny their existence or relinquish their rights and dignity as human beings.
