The only sickness in the Arab world and the ME is islam. Islam is demonic to its core.

The UN Report on the state of the Arab world for many years now, reveals a society of 120 million overwhelmingly primitive, uneducated, illiterate, with a mindset mired in the 7th century. Discounting oil production the collective GNP of the entire Arab World is less than that of Holland.

A recent UN report suggests that less than 2% of the population in the Arab world reads even one book a year, that a third of the Arab world is illiterate, the Koran not a book in the traditional sense of the word.

Besides all the above Egypt has a proud and distinguished history. I dunno, since for ever the only Arab country that has enjoyed my idea of western civilization ‘individual’ success imo...is Turkey.

The people there want for nothing and go about their business without a constant interfearence format.

Sure many will point to the oil producing nations as special because of their wealth but so what? They have oil, discovered by others and marked by others.

Anyone remember MC Hammer and his golden bath room fixtures?

imo they are total failures when compared to other civilizations at their peak.

Because here in there ‘peak’ wealth what have they done for the world?

They gave us nothing but trouble and terrorism.

Oil rich Arab nations haven’t made a pimple on Rome ass as far as accomplishments. Oil Arabs are selfish scum of the earth people that abuse others.

Too bad about the Egyptians suffering through this economic distress. They were the first to buy into the Mid-East peace process and seem to have a gentle down to earth disposition. Since the Carter era I always liked them.

I hope the death cult doesn’t prevail in what could have been a real nice country.

there is not one Arab country where one would choose to live over the worst European country.

Albania?

Freud, Marx and Einstein were perhaps the three most important men of the past 100 years.

I stopped reading right there.

“...wait for our energy substitutes...”

That is the worst solution, but Obama loves it. We have plenty of energy sources but not allowed to develop them.
Had we been allowed to do so, perhaps we wouldn’t be so involved with the ME to our detriment.
