Tuesday, March 13, 2007
-- Under the title "Unipolarism" liberal columnist Dr. Yacoub
Al-Sharrah penned in moderate Arabic daily Al-Rai (03/13):
"The problem is not the world's unipolar system, as this is better
than a multipolar system where clashes cause catastrophes. Fear
sets in, however, when the sole superpower uses its means
irrationally. This heavily damages the international system."
-- Liberal Dr. Mohammed Al-Rumaihi commented in moderate Arabic
daily Al-Rai under the title "The Immortal and the Imitated in
Kuwaiti Politics" (03/13):
"Kuwait's surroundings are far from easy or simple. Geographically
it sits in a flammable arch where crises arise and multiply. In
this region economic dynamics could change in months not years."
-- Under the title "They Disarmed and Fell to the Ground" Abdulla
Al-Hadlaq contented in conservative Arabic daily Al-Watan (03/13):
"The countdown for an international blow to Iranian terror has
begun. This after the international community's patience ran out
due to Iran's stubborn defiance of all the United Nations
resolutions and the warnings of the IAEA.... Some Arab countries
have even declared their permission to the Israeli forces to use
their air space to carry out a strike against Iranian nuclear
facilities."
-- U.S. critic the conservative Shiite Dr. Abdul Mohsen Jamal
inquired in progressive Arabic daily Al-Qabas under the title "We
Come Crawling, Master, Hussein" (03/13):
"Iranian-Syrian economic cooperation to establish a car factory in
Syria -- despite western economic sanctions against both countries
-- is the best evidence yet of the ability by the Arabs and Muslims
to establish a common economic market. It is also evidence that the
West cannot prevent such an achievement. The car factory is an
example of cooperation between only two countries. What if there was
true and widespread economic cooperation?"
