Right. What leader, hypothetically, is in any position to vie for "hegemony over the Arab world"? Aside from maybe the Prince of Darkness and his fellow theoreticians, with their grand schemes? With "Hashemite restoration" always a popular option among the neocons, I find your "restored caliphate" blather rather ironic. Pan Arabism has been around for a while, gathering some grand pronouncements now and then but exceedingly little in way of visible results. If you don't have a really big axe to grind, the Arab world looks pretty securely divided for the foreseeable future. Too bad James Jesus Angleton isn't around to aid the cause. He thought the Russia / China split was just a ruse. I'm sure he'd see through the surface divisions in the mideast and get to the grand underlying conspiracy.
