How do you have a creative society, when further thought is ahead of time known to be fruitless? Adonis argues that the Arab fears freedom. Freedom is too much of a burden, you must face reality and face the entire world in freedom. If you are a slave, you don't have to deal with all of that.
This guy takes pessimism to the nth degree.
Nice to see a post that has thought behind it. Great summation of what he is saying. The implications are far reaching and it is something we are facing as a nation. The Arabs have made their choice, we are making ours now.
