Memo from Gulfistan
Hat tip puppy-blenderLately it has been said that the Arabs are in a panic over the growing power of Iran. We are told that Arab rulers so fear the rise of Iran that this fear has eclipsed all othersits the sum of all fears. And its making a new Middle East . . . Every few years, a prophet arises to proclaim a new Middle East, including Israel. ... A few months ago, we were told that the Iranian threat would turn the Middle East into a zone of political and military allianceincluding Israel. This latest new Middle East has had the shortest life of them all. Apparently, new Middle Easts just arent what they used to be. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2008-01-22 |
