Hi jcky; Re: "The Arabs have been living in shame ever since that ignominious defeat [Six Day War] and are unable to convert that anger into constructive political or societal changes." Okay, so what you're saying is that the Arabs have not changed constructively since 1967? That's been 35 years, quite a long time to not make much progress. I thought that some of the states have slowly been making progress. Here's an interesting link on economies of Israel and neighbors: csis.org An interesting link on demographics, the most interesting part of which, I thought, was Part Fourteen, which says that the Arab youth are "highly educated", by world standards, but not competitive with developed nations. It's the old folk that are illiterate. csis.org -- Carl
