In 1969 when the Mr. Dayan, the ex-Chief of Staff and Defense Minister of the Israeli “Defense” Forces was interviewed regarding their combat strategy against the Arabs, including “Egypt” then, he went onto the details of the strategy specifying the axes of the envisaged attack, to the extent that the interviewer asked him out of concern: “wouldn’t the Arabs create a counter-strategy after reading about your strategy details here” then the General answered him simply “Arabs do not read”!!!!
After 40 years I was faced with the same question while going through the March version of the French DSI (Défense & Sécurité Internationale Magazine) No. 46 when I saw that not only the Arabs do not read, but apparently they also do not think.
That issue of DSI reported that the Emirate Army is on full modernization to face that of the Iranian!!!!!…..I could not hold myself laughing out this black comedy that is being played in the Gulf….to readers who does not know the nature of people in that area, the typical national Arab is a reflection of his economy, where they spend most their useful time in front of the TV either playing, Wii, Atari or virtual games.
They can not and would not fight a war of any kind, A proof of which the Gulf War I, when most the Kuwaiti flee their country instead of enrolling to fight. Historically and since 1950s the only war that the gulf area got involved is possibly was the unification of the SAUDI ARABIA, and it was fought over camels and horses and won by different breed of men that are not available in that area now….
Going back to that ugly analysis of the modern war history in that area and also the sales initiative of Mr. Sarkosi relying on Mr Bush Jr. recklessness (Please my check previous article) the Arabs went and bought toys that they do not even have the manpower to use nor even the ability to use except in simulations….
Secondly, in the Gulf War II in IRAQ it is demonstrated that most important piece of equipment is the people or soldier’s belief, numbers people ready to defend and the courage factor of the war that no machine can break, same rule application is demonstrated currently in Afghanistan which USA tried recently to negotiate for alliance and when failed Mr. Obama promised them yesterday the wrath and hell.
Thirdly, when did Iran become a threat to the Arabs?, it has never attacked the Arabs first and secondly, they are of the same religion. During the Iraqi war, motivated by Mr. Chiney, Mr. Rumsfiled and of course the Father of all contemporary Gulf wars, the famous Mr. George H. W. Bush; to drain the Iran’s and Iraq’s resources and test new strain of chemical weapons, among other targets; it was Iraq that started.
Unless the Arabs are buying toys, stocking them for others to use, while they continue watching the war on TV, loosing their petro-money and resources on toys and not development; they are a race destined to perish out of ignorance.
Funny enough when reviewing the Economist of March 21st to 27th 2009, the lead article is about how China sees the world, demonstrated by an elegant art work of the world’s map from China’s perspective and ….. to prove my point, neither the Arabs nor their peninsula are on that map!!!!.
