The ME needed a little shaking up, imo. Golly, the mullahs have been hollering against the west for as long as I can remember. It's either the jews or the americans they rail against. Perhaps a little Arab-world self analysis is in order. I attended a talk recently on world development and I heard South Korea, Israel and most of the Arab world were "economically speaking" on par with each other in the mid 1950s. Today, the average Arab citizen is at the bottom of the economic ladder, while average South Korean and Israeli are closer to the top than the bottom. If the mullahs want to blame the U.S. and Israel for all their woes, that's find by me, but I'm not buying it.
