<The west's most important friends in the Arab Middle East - Fahd of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah of Jordan, Mubarak of Egypt and the PLO's Yasser Arafat - are probably the world's most vulnerable political quartet. It is likely that endemic problems and the Islamic fundamentalist tide gripping their countries will bring an end to their regimes within the next five years. > Interesting stuff... seems to make the prince's comments ala "Rudy" make more sense. Perhaps they know they need to move over politically... people should listen rather than just assume that they're being @ holes, and or 'wrong'. DAK

Less, those are the real problems in ME Arab countries not Israel ......... birth control, real western education and real democracy may solve the problems. The fertility rate (over twice of Europe) & Sex ratio at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female (CIA fact book) .......... think were this leads. PLO has 3 to 4 times Europe's fertility rate ......... no work places for the new born, no money to raise 10 to 15 children per one working father ....... even if he will earn by US standarts of income ........ it's poverty. Even by historical standards corruption is completely out of control............... Stories about corruption and nepotism abound. ................... ever wonder how the "Prince" made his money ??? <GG> Egypt owes more than $30bn, its population is increasing by more than a million a year and money sent back from workers in oil-producing countries is sharply reduced as countries need fewer guest workers. .......... (Egypt has 69 million people) Meanwhile the calm surface concealing Islamist activity is deceptive - infiltration of the army is at an all time high. Because Mubarak has failed to create a popular base for his government, there are no political movements to oppose the Islamists.
