Dissolve The Arab League: A Symbol of Impotence
by Mohamed Khodr
The League of Arab States officially founded on March 22, 1945 has for the past 56 years been nothing more than a pathetic, shameful, wasteful, and impotent organization designed more for domestic Arab consumption by egotistical corrupt Arab leaders than for addressing urgent political, economic, social, or educational issues that haunt the impoverished and mostly illiterate Arab masses. From its inception, inter-Arab rivalry and conflicts, formation of regional Arab councils, and Cold War allegiances have rendered this organization into an irrelevant, cosmetic, pseudo-symbol of "Arab unity." It's a voluntary association whose purpose was to strengthen ties among the member states, coordinate their policies, and promote their common interests. At no time in its long history did it ever succeed accomplishing any of these objectives. Even today with the world's turmoil caused by America's "war on terrorism du jour", which blatantly is directed at Arab and Muslim nations; with the second Palestinian Intifadah; with potential American attacks on Arab nations, our illustrious "Arab League" is internally fighting as to the upcoming summit's location. While Arab and Muslim blood is being spilled our "leaders" are squandering time, money, and self respect to even agree on a place to meet.
Try again Francois !!
