Former Libyan PM: Why Do Arabs Ignore Their Flaws?

Arabs remind me of the dope-smoking draft dodging Woodstock generation. They hated "the establishment" at 20, But strutted down wall street in their suspenders, in their 40s. Such hypocrits, them all. They tell everyone around them to drop out, while they're selling out their phony principles as fast as they can, for personal gain.

Thanks for the article. I hope that the Muslim world will start to listen to reasonable Arabs like these and they may be able to avoid a major conflict between Islam and the West.

I do also. But I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
