True, Isra'El has done splendidly, and why not? They import the best and the brightest minds from the West, its technology and use the West's financial centers, not to mention the Treasurys of the same.

Interesting point you're bringing up here, Len. Why does Israel have so many "best and brightest" minds, seemingly able to produce significant prosperity WITHOUT endless national resources, but the Arab world finds its limited number of "best and brightest" constantly emigrating to the West?

Considering how much US "treasure" has found it's way into the pockets of the oil producing nations of the region, one would think we'd see the region flourishing with economic growth.

You certainly can't blame Israel for the way the Arabs have mis-spent those oil revenues.

Oh, I forgot who I was talking to.. Of course you can blame Israel. To someone like yourself, Israel is the fountain of all evil in the world. Certainly no other government in the region is responsible for their own plight.
