The conflict in the Middle East is far bigger than Isis and al-Qa'eda
h/t Gates of Vienna...The Middle East is not simply falling apart. It is taking a different shape, along very clear lines far older ones than those the western powers rudely imposed on the region nearly a century ago. Across the whole continent those borders are in the process of cracking and breaking. But while that happens the regions two most ambitious centres of power the house of Saud and the Ayatollahs in Iran find themselves fighting each other not just for influence but even, perhaps, for survival. Whatever happened to "Arab Israeli Peace Process"? Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2014-06-18 |
