MEDITERRANEAN DEMOCRACY AND THE NEW ARABIAN WORLD ORDER

I wish that I could  concentrate a little longer to write my blog, the chemotherapy and other drugs are making it very difficult to stay awake now.  Even in my drugged state of mind and body I still question the wisdom of the world powers.  That the US and NATO are now waging effectively a war against the Gaddafi/Libyan  Government Forces in support of a rebel army who are without known representatives, political aims or democratically stated ambitions seems slightly foolhardy to say the least.

In the greater Middle East, US hypocrisy is clearly evident in their failure to take any action against Syria, Saudi Arabia , Yemen, Bahrain and other Arab States for those governments acts of violence against peaceful  democratic protesters.

The reality of the new Arabian World Order which is emerging around the Mediterranean States marks the end of that long period of United States Control over Arab politics.  Pro Democracy protesters are bringing down the US backed governments, dictators and Monarchs one after the other; proving that there was an alternative to the  Al Qaeda style of terrorism as a means to challenge US financial dominance and control.

Recent events in these states have not caused great panic yet, western governments were caught a little unprepared and the Media, so confused, have chosen not to speculate about the future too much.  We all know what is coming next, but the order and outcomes are very uncertain.

Neither the Saudi or the Israeli regimes will survive this new world order because of their intolerance to democracy, freedom of speech and religious choice. They are by coincidence also the guardians of the holy sites, others will have to take this responsibility, the positioning for this role in the Arab world has already begun.

Diplomacy and negotiation are crucial to avoid the very real threat of a major conflict in the Mediterranean Countries. Let us hope that the new Arab World Order is fairer and less violent than the old United States Model.
