Leading sophistication in the Arab world are the smallest abnormal states: UAE, Quatar, Oman, Bahrain, followed by Kuwait. The next leading power is not Saudi Arabia or Egypt or Syria but Libya, another abnormal state. As a group these countries are far far behind other groups: The Industrealized countries, the EU, South Asia, Eastearn Europe, Latin America. In fact the Arab countries come in last together with some African countries when it comes to development, openess. They relay on one crutch alone: oil. Other than oil they have nothing, absolutly nothing to offer the rest of the world and nothing to offer their own people. The price of oil has risen dramaticly in the last 2-3 years and the west has hardly stalled. At the base of such backwardness is their active looking back rather than looking forward: reffereing to a few arab words that are at the foundation of science such as algebra and 'arabic numbers' just shows how long they have been lagging behind.

Since 1978 Israel made a few steps back as well. The guys like Olmert shpild be selling drinks in Jerusalem or, at most, working for a real estate firms. Peretz, compared to Mubarak, should be working in a shuk. Beilin is Israeli Muslem brotherhood. So don't jump with joy.

perhaps, but don't forget this: Hebrew U. outstrips Yale, Oxford in registering patents http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3311922,00.html there's still hope, and we still have not struck oil (well, perhaps a drop here or there).

egypt had already forfieted its calim to any arab leadeship when sadat was killed.he had surrenderd arab interests to israel and usa. nasser might have been stupid but he was the embodiment of arab aspirations. mubarak is only a lacky of america and thereby that of israel, and will remain an object of redicule
