The Middle East on a Collision Course

Posted by Matt in February 11th, 2007

The Middle East is currently in the throes of a comprehensive crisis that manifests itself in three main modes of conflict - political-military, economic, and religious - and in three main arenas - Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Since the election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his intransigent religious-ideological line, all of these conflicts have intensified and have to a great degree merged into a single, comprehensive regional crisis. The various arenas of conflict have become so interdependent as to virtually exclude a local solution for any one of them, and any solution has to necessarily pass through the filter of the Saudi-Iranian conflict.

Iran’s contribution to the intensification of the conflict is expressed in the following areas:

Fastest Growing City in the World! Middle East 2.0 - Dubai
As seen on 60 Minutes Dubai Inc. reported by Steve Kroft. The Biggest Story in the World --- Dubai - home of the world's largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today. While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it's "the Middle East we don't know". Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf. It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values. Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of...

What really happened in the Middle East?
An excellent presentation of the real history and background of the Arab- Israeli conflict, minus Arab propaganda lies. Too bad all the brilliant members of the University lecturers union in Britain didn't air this to its membership before embarrassing itself with its moronic vote to consider boycotting Israeli universities. A dose of truth that should be taken by everyone. Make sure your teenagers see it, and your leftist friends. In fact, it's a good reminder to everyone just what happened here, and what continues to happen. Congratulations to the Horowitz Freedom Center for a job well done See www.terrorismawareness.org

What successful frameworks exist inside and outside the region? 2) Do companies have a responsibility to the wider community, or should they simply contribute funds to "specialist" institutions? 3) What can ordinary members of society do to become active global citizens? How can such activism be encouraged?
