Opinion: The Saudi Bull in Arab China Shop - by Nicola Nasser |
|
|
|
Obsessed with the “Iran threat,” which leads to its warmongering in Syria, Saudi Arabia is acting like a bull in a china shop, wreaking regional havoc in an already Arab fragile political environment and creating what George Joffe’ of Cambridge University’s Centre of International Studies, on last December 30, called the “second Arab cold war,” the first being the Saudi-led cold war with the Pan-Arab Egypt of Gamal Abdul Nasser since the 1960s. |

Libya’s Happy New Year? |
|
|
|
While part of the world celebrated Christmas Eve, Libya marked its sixty-second birthday; the country gained its independence from British and French military administration and the unification of its three constituent provinces on December 24, 1951. The national holiday should have been a cause for joy, as Libyans post-Gaddafi are now free to express themselves and participate in their own governance. But the anniversary was also fraught with peril. |

Opinion: 2014: Failure of Palestinian Authority, BDS Success to Continue – by Ramzy Baroud |
|
|
|

But it was not entirely a year of doom and gloom either, for the global boycott campaign (BDS) has taken off like never before, surpassing the capricious Palestinian leadership and its confined political platforms. |

2013 Year-Ender: It’s Always Dangerous to Declare, “Mission accomplished”- by Gwynne Dyer |
|
|
|
Former US President George W. Bush did it weeks after he invaded Iraq, and it will be quoted in history books a century hence as proof of his arrogance and his ignorance. British Prime Minister David Cameron did it a couple of weeks ago in Afghanistan, and you didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But when Edward Snowden said it last week - “In terms of personal satisfaction, the mission's already accomplished” – nobody laughed. |

|
