We went through this Sadr business over ten years ago. The takeaway here is that the fundamental structural divisions of the Arab world (which have little relation to the Sikes-Picot borders drawn in 1920) don't go away and can't be manipulated from the outside. The Arab world is in the early stages of a great national revolution which may take much of this century to finally stabilize. It took China from 1912 to 1949 to emerge as a great nation. Arabia is on the same sort of road. Infidels: get out of the way! |

It may be more likely that the Arab countries follow the political model of post-colonial African countries..............

Of ourse that is possible but there are some important differences. The Arab world has been unified and powerful in the past. True, that was some centuries ago but the memory of the Caliphate lingers. The Arabs have a common religion and a common language, unlike the Africans. Arabia is also far more wealthy, urbanized and technologically proficient. No one can say whose speculation is the more likely, but I am curious as to what factors lead you to believe in the African outcome. |

You can't have more than two Arabs in a hookah café without a loud argument breaking out...It is Arab nature not to agree or unify...They have a tribal culture..............
