THE ARABS HAVE FUCKED THEMSELVES MOST OF ALL
MID-EAST REALITIES - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org
- Washington - 30 March 2003: This is a time for plain
speaking as well as blunt even crass analogies. There's no doubt the
Arabs collectively and individually -- both regimes and peoples -- have allowed
themselves for some time now to be repeatedly raped and fucked by the Americans
and by the Israelis -- everyone knows this though very few are able/willing to
use clear and straight-forward language to say so, and fewer still are
ever allowed to be heard even if they do. But those who are willing
to suffer and to tolerate such repeated abuse from others are also guilty of
grossly abusing and screwing each other.
Amid so many insane and traumatic developments
of recent days there's also this maddening one. The Saudis have now
publicly protested to the Americans not because so many cruise missiles have
been flying over "the Kingdom" on the way to devastating Iraq; but
because a few duds have landed with a thud in the Arabian Desert!
This is the same Saudi Arabia of course whose shamefully stupid and former
drunken/playboy King recently got drugged up to speak to his country about how
there would be no cooperation with the U.S. military in the war with
Iraq! (Later that same day General Tommy Franks arrived to visit Prince
Sultan Airbase, not far from Riyadh, from where the U.S. air war is being
commanded!). This is the same Saudi Arabia whose miserably misguided
Crown Prince Abdullah earlier this year insisted he was sure there wasn't going
to be a war, while last year he stupidly invited an American Jewish journalist
working for one of the most pro-Israeli American newspapers to loudly proclaim
that they shared the same Palestinian 'peace plan' -- even before he told his
own people! And this is the same Saudi Arabia which for more than 20
years now has allowed Ambassador "Prince Bandar" to so lavishly and
foolishly squander huge amounts of money, not to mention the little
"dignity" the royal family has left, attempting to buy and prostitute
everything Arab and Muslim in America -- and just look at the result!
Indeed, had it not been for the pathetic weakness,
divisions, corruption, incompetence, and cowardice of the major and minor Arab
regimes themselves, the Americans would never have been able to do to the
Iraqis and Palestinians -- not to mention to the Lebanese, Libyans and so many
other groups and nations in the region -- what they and their Israeli ally have
managed to do. Indeed had the Egyptians refused to let the grand
American warships use the Suez Canal, at least pending passage of the
now-aborted Security Council resolution, this terrible war may not have taken
place as it has. Indeed had the Saudis not pledged to increase oil
supplies and make sure the Western economies were not harmed, the Americans
would have had to think much longer and much harder about what they are
doing. Indeed had Kuwait not welcomed the American military invaders with
open arms what is happening could not have. And had Qatar, that
little territory of a few miles and 200,000 citizens, not allowed itself to
become a complete U.S. protectorate in the past few years, the events of today
would probably not be taking place. And the list goes on...Bahrain, Oman,
UAE...not to mention the horrible bumbling and bowing of Yasser Arafat, Abu
Mazen and the so-called "Palestinian Authority".
Most of all had King Abdullah and Hosni Mubarak et.
al. -- manipulating and co-opting on behalf of the Americans the Cairo-based
Arab League -- not cooperated with the U.S. and Israel in so many public and
secret ways at so many critical times in the past the Arabs themselves might
actually have some credibility, honor and self-confidence -- not to mention
power -- and be able to minimally stand up for themselves right there in their
own backyards and tell the Americans 'no', 'no thanks', 'do not', 'we will not'
cooperate in or tolerate such further rape and humiliation from you and your
Israeli and Anglo mentors.
