King Abdullah of Jordan is expressing in a public forum that three civil wars could emerging in the Middle East.
The locations: Iraq, Lebanon and (so-called) Palestine.
King Abdullah senses that internecine strife is spiraling out of control in Iraq. He is correct. Blood feuds, revenge, inter-religion sectarian (Shia VS Sunni) and mutual hatred among radicals of the American presence are all mitigating factors in Iraq. The fledgling elected democratic government of Iraq has failed hugely in addressing much of the mitigating factors while relying on the U.S.A. to keep the seams of unity from tearing completely. Prime Minister Maliki needs to be more far and balanced. Maliki has failed greatly in this prospect.
Lebanon is ruled by a Syrian sympathetic government lead by President Lahoud. The Lebanese Prime Minister has the history of being anti-Syrian and anti-Hezbollah yet strangely allows the Syrian and Hezbollah connection to run rough shod in Lebanon. The recent assassination of government Minister Gemayel by either Hezbollah or Syrian agents has raised the intense anger of the Christian, Druze and Sunni block in Lebanon.
In Palestine Hamas and Fatah groups are openly vying for power and control of institutions that control the so-called Palestinian populace of the West Bank and Gaza. That fight is about how to proceed to become a sovereign nation: Recognize Israel’s existence or not. Fatah fakes recognition to get international support. Hamas refuses recognition and remains intently in the “Wipe Israel off the map” Mohammedan crowd.
King Abdullah is calling for a greater involvement of America to diffuse these emerging civil wars. He is also calling for America to engage Syria and Iran diplomatically in the aid of diffusing the civil wars.
The international community in the West is beginning to suggest diplomatic engagement with Syria and Iran. For me that is like Britain engaging Nazi Germany for “Peace in our Time.” Even if a signed diplomatic solution involving greatest rogue supporters of terrorism, the result will be similar to Nazi Germany taking advantage of the time to perpetuate a more heinous agenda. In this case it is Middle Eastern domination and the destruction of Israel.
Since I am just a plebeian blogger, I have a limited insight to offer an alternative. I predict at whatever path America, the West and the Middle East take; it will eventually end up in global bloodshed. As long as oil runs the economies of the globe, there will be a global disagreement on choosing between what is morally right and what is a way to keep oil flowing.
