That isn't the StrategyPage article is it? The stuff I've sent John has a better provenance than that. > Ted Arlauskas wrote: > If you want to liven things up, I can post a link

One point to keep in mind is that many of the problems he discusses are not specifically Arab, but can also be found in other 3rd World countries, e.g. in Africa, Latin America or the Balkans. Also, other countries in the past have overcome similar problems and developed their economies, politics and military forces. Greetings Karl Heinz

You mean this one: http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles/20020909.asp That one reads like a summary of the one here: http://www.unc.edu/depts/diplomat/AD_Issues/amdipl_17/articles/deatkine_ arabs1.html And the strategypage.com article is dated 2.Sept.2002, whereas the other one is from 1999. Hardly a stellar moment for Internet journalism. Greetings Karl Heinz

The real thing is a pretty good article, raising some good points while avoiding the simplistic traps the SP summary gets bogged down in. It's well worth reading. > Hardly a stellar moment for Internet journalism. The StratPage version? Agreed.
