The happiness of some of “moderate Arab states ” about what is happening in Tehran and the arise of the opposition against the regime there and which is reflected on their media is not understood. They consider the protestors there as “warriors for democracy ” . What they are trying to hide and is clear for every one is the ideological background for those or at least for a part of them which want to overthrow “the Islamic Republic ” regime.

It is clear that the biggest part of them is either nationalists or Liberals. In both cases the Arabs are the losers.

Arab states and a wide spectrum of its people consider the current regime as the problem of this region. They used to call it ” The Mallaly’s Regime “. They had pushed Saddam to fight Iran to ” Save The Arab Eastern Gate”. This was popular in the Arab media literature in 1980’s. That war put the end of Saddam’s regime. It was a disaster for Saddam and the region.

Iraq has been debited and the region has collapsed after Saddam’s adventure in Kuwait. We should know here that the Iraqi’s invasion of Kuwait was a consequence of the 10 years war between Iran and Iraq. Kuwait has debited Saddam to help him in his war and ask for its debit directly after the end of the War although it was eulogizing him and describing him as ” the Arab hero ” and “The Arab Defendant “. It was an ugly years. Some of Arabs want to regain that period. What they lack is a character like Saddam who is ready to kill his people for his own fake glory.

Those who are describing themselves the “Moderate Arabs” are not ready to fight by themselves. They used to deploy intermediates to fight for their account and to use their fight and blood in compromise.

The Shah of Iran was ruling the Persian Gulf region during the 1960’s and 1970’s . He was the king of the region taking the advantage of the western support for him and his nation. He was the sincere guard for the western interests in the region. The west was in no need to use his direct force to save these interests. The Shah huge military force was enough. It seems that Arabs are really favoring that period. We should remember here that Saudi Arabia wasn’t a key player in the region as it is now. Although it has played a certain rules, however, it was totally controlled by a tight system taking in its consideration some Arab sensitivities toward Iran and its clear coalition with Israel, the x-enemy of the moderate Arabs and the enemy of the most of Arabs.

The Arab Moderate states don’t know its real interests. It had been used to overthrow Saddam Hussein and it is in a real need for some one to play his rule nowadays. Iraq which they were considering him the defender of their interests opposite the Iranian spread has been lost and become split between either an Iranian loyalty or an American one without a real key rule for those “the Moderate Arabs” .

Loosing Iraq has not awakened them. They are blind followers for the Americans, favoring the American Interests over their own interests. Wes should know her some fake facts, which they used to propagate as real ones. The problem of the moderate Arabs with Iran is not in fact with the current Iran . It is a historical clash between the uncivilized Bedouin who were living on the southern coast of Iran and on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf . As tribes, those Bedouins have given their loyalties for those who are paying . Some time they were loyal to Portuguese and sometimes to British and some times to the Iranians themselves. The rule was : The more you pay , the more loyalty you get . According to those historical events, we can find easily immigrations between the northern and southern coast of the Persian gulf. The Moderate Arab Media is focusing on the Emirates three Islands, which are occupied by Iranians from early 1970’s. These Islands has been occupied during The Shah period . It is not an occupation by the current Iranian regime. It is a historical matter can be solved easily .I can’t see a real Arab interest in antagonizing Iran . What they say about spreading the Shiites in the region is a way of trying to persuade Arab people that there is a real danger from Iran on their faith. Those who are worries on Sunnis are in fact neither Sunnis nor Shiites. They have their own believe and almost they are anti-religions and extremist seculars .

The last note here is a trial to clarify. The Iranian nationalists are in fact anti-Arabs and even in some times anti- Islam. They have their own view for the region excludes the Arab states, which they in fact don’t consider them as real states. They consider it as followers for the strongest in the region. One of the candidates to the last election blamed Ahmadinajad , the Iranian elected president , for his visit to UAE and participating in the Arab Gulf states council summit.

My father was shocked this morning when he was viewing the direct pictures from Mumbai about that bloody attack. He said that he had visited the luxurious hotel of Taj Mahal which has been attacked. I was sleeping last night. I didn’t follow what happened from the beginning.

When I wake up this morning, I have been surprised about what happened. I don’t know who are implicated in these attacks. What I know very well that all the world is passing through a period of instability.

What I remember now is the question which has been asked by the editor of Instablogs and answered also by the editors about the possibility of a civil war in India. The answers shocked me. Most of who answered the question agreed that India is in its way to a civil war. The answers itself may be justified. Yes, it is the Over-Democracy syndrome.

Internet Breaking news sites are going to be a part of the official media system . Syrian authorities are preparing a law forcing them to get a license as a condition to operate from Syria. This law according to experts will put the end to the personal trial in establishing an independent media.

The law will keep the sites which are funded by the those who are close to the authorities the key players in the internet media . We know that the major Syrian sites are funded by business men which are in a interests coalition with officials and are indirectly defending their interests and attacking their opponents.

It is not known yet what are the procedure to get this license. Syrian information ministry has calmed the sites owner recently and claimed that the license will be as easy as getting your breakfast.
