Alguns, no Oriente Médio, conseguem enxergar a realidade, apesar da cortina de fumaça de muitos, desde Pallywood à esquerda vesga e preconceituosa. E fazem perguntas que poucos têm conhecimento suficiente para responder ou coragem para fazê-lo. Do Líbano informam que o rei está nu. >Thursday of this week was a bad day in modern Arab history. The four leading Arab cities of recent eras – Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut and Cairo – were simultaneously engulfed in bombings or urban warfare, mostly carried out with brutal savagery and cruelty against civilians in urban settings. Even more problematic is that the carnage was predominantly the work of Arabs, not foreign invaders. Our four greatest modern Arab cities are now routinely depicted around the world with scenes of bomb craters, flames and rows of dead bodies. Other Arab lands, such as Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Tunisia, Bahrain, Algeria and Sudan, are only slightly less chaotic. This is a dramatic and telling moment, but a moment that tells us what, exactly? Have we collectively failed the test of statehood? Modernity? Civility? Democracy? Independence? Sovereignty? Secularism?,,,< (cont.) dailystar.lb/Opinion/Columnist/2013/Aug-17/227591-a-bad-day-for-four-leading-arab-cities.ashx#axzz2cOGdA1Mw
