see I keep mentioning gcc, because gcc countries have American bases on Arab soil, and America has been invading and destroying Arab countries such as Iraq and Libya, and now Syria... which is why I keep saying gcc...
and you are right, non of the super powers want see a united Arab world... but I don't see Russia as a big obstacle compared to the west... again Russia influence in the Arab world is not strong, it is only in Syria ( since Russia is standing with Syria against western invasion)... come to think about it, a non Arab country, Russia, stopped a western invasion of an Arab country, while Arab countries asked the west to invade Syria... THAT IS THE DIVISION MY FRIEND...
and George Galloway is saying the truth...
and don't worry about grammar, because I myself not correcting anything I write.. no time...
I am saying that the model of creating regional cooperation that might turn into something bigger is good. I disagree with the GCC on many fronts. I blame our rulers for much too. But the ordinary women and man cannot do much. We have not chosen this. We did not elect anyone.
What is happening in Syria is a tragedy and soon I do not know what to think anymore. Maybe it is all a game of thrones and we are fooled with. Maybe they want neither sides to win and just continue making our lands unstable. Somehow this is very probable.
I am not against Russian people or Russia. I just don't believe that they will be much better than USA should they get as much influence.
What I am waiting for is one strong Arab leader that will speak AND act. Not only speak and do nothing.
Anyway what is important is not as Galloway said to blame others but look within. In the past few days I have been thinking about what is going on and some views I held before I am not so convinced about anymore.
Most importantly the entire leadership has disappointed me a lot on many fronts.
What I hope we can agree with is that we need to cooperate closer. Not necessary a formal unity but much better cooperation. More unity means strength and nobody will help us but ourselves.
What I care most about right now is peace in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Lebanon, Egypt and a new generation that will see what we wailed to see or wailed to do for the betterment of our countries, regions and the Arab world as a whole. Even if we disagree politically we must respect each other and some of the problem with past Arab nationalism was that the rulers only accepted their versions and had love tolerance of opposite views. I hope this sincerely changes.
EU is a very good system to emulate. I mean the fact that people who killed 50 millions of each other can support each other and work so close today.
When did any Arab country fight each other outside Iraq and Kuwait? I don't remember much similar conflicts since WW2 if any.
Take care and although we disagree on some issues I hope the best for Syria and for peace to prevail.
Our lands are home to the oldest civilizations on the planet and we were a leading part of the world for literary millenniums. We got the history, land, resources, location etc. to succeed. EVerything is in front of us almost. If our ancestors could we should too.
