when the oil runs out, the arab countries will still be big players in the world game.
in the last 20 years they have invested wisely at home and abroad(except for manchester city) and will reap the benefits for a very long time.
we will do well to keep onside with those nations.

jimmy long,it seems that you like the arabs as much as i like the yanks.as for the oil its down to american greed and world domination that the poor chap you mention got the chop so to speak.
now heres somthing novel for you jimmy long if the yanks withdrew from all arab war zones the arabs will calm down and feel less threatend.by the way the yanks wernt here a few millions ago either.

Brian Dixon,
Cloud cuckoo land must be such a wonderful place, Oh Shucks!! it has to be as it seems to have you under its spell.
It is very obvious that you have had no up front dealings with arabs,from any country you care to choose. I on the other hand have several experiences, grant you while doing military service but it does not take long to form life changing impressions.
As for American greed, well lets just take a little look at british greed shall we
How about the british invasion of mesopotamia (Iraq to you) in the early part of the 20TH century, correct me if I am wrong but that was not so that our squaddies could play with there buckets and spades or could it have been for oil?? I wonder.
How about the Nigerian delta?? could that be for oil, surely not.
How about british interests in the middle and far east?? this is beginning to look like we invaded the best part of the world. Oh!! I have just remembered we used to have an organisation called, now let me think a moment?? Oh It has come rushing back to me. It was called "THE BRITISH EMPIRE"
So do me the courtesy of not being so selective in your dislikes remember your fore fathers were just as ruthless as the arabs, that we do have in common. not a source of pride, I agree but too late to change it now.
Give thanks to what ever god you believe in that the arabs have the camel dung and we have the brains and the ability to get on and do things
Sad to say despite all there investments it still takes european minds to administer there assets
THey will always need us, more than we will ever need them.

Howard, you should take into consideration that Arab populations tend to double about every twenty-thirty years, and I do not think that any investments in cash and shares made by Arab states can cope with this! Hence we should be looking at an expansion of future trade with Arab countries, as we have the industrial capacity to do so, to supply irrigation plant and so-forth, as they will need this. For us there could be many jobs involved and a good steady income in return for honest British work! By just sitting here and going bankrupt, Howard, we are not doing our own young British generation a favour! This is one of the themes I am representing for Dover, by way of a research academy, may-be you read it on my previous writings.

I mean, we in Dover should have an Academy for agricultural research, and to do so, we have to want to, and not just talk the argument into oblivion by stating that the Arab nations have already invested enough money in the future! Believe me they haven't, and we British people need to start earnestly finding work for our own young generation and stop writing so many people off to the job-centre!
As elder people, it is our duty to do so! We have this obligation, Howard!

So stop mucking about on Forums Howard and get on with opening the:
Dover Academy For Tropical Agricultural Studies And British Regeneration Under Stylised Hedgerows, aka
DAFT AS A BRUSH

its not really about hateing the yanks just a genareal dislike along with the israeli politics and there high and mighty attitude.

Dear Brian Dixon,
I shall close this discussion on an optomistic note. It does,nt matter a jot what you arab lovers think. The Jewish state has to take all necessary measures to protect there population. I would expect no less if it was our population under constant threat
I suppose there has to be a place in the larger world society for misguided fools like your self and all your associated jew haters. Thankfully the majority of the world sees hamas and its like for what it is, namely a co-ordinated gang of international murderers, only held in check by allies who will not bow to allah and his followers.
I do not think the statement is over-rated when one refers to the "mad mullahs"
After all the young lady Neda Agha-Soltan who was shot to death on the streets of teheran in2009 was only trying to defend democracy and look what arab democracy did for her.

Howard Mcsweeney,
Point taken, but it is rather provocative when people come on here and engage there mouths rather than there brains.

jimmy long,thankyou for your kind words of encouragement for a peasefull middle east.

Brian, Jews are NOT Christians mate. Remember, it was them that did for poor old Jesus of Nazareth all those years ago.
More to the point, there are good and bad Jews, and good and bad Arabs. Let's not tar them all with the same brush please.

Sid, you ought to explain what you mean with: daft as a brush!
Are you saying that my proposal is daft as a brush?
Also, it is not fair to twist a proposal into other - and degeneratingg - words of your own manufacture! may-be you should realise that Arab populations tend to double about every twenty to thirty years, and that many Arab populations do already have a serious water- shortage problem, and this is also the case of the Palestinians. This problem, which means that plenty of land is Arid and that water is lacking, and that Britain has a chance to make progress in reciprocal trade relations with the Arabs, is not something i am prepared to let yoy scrup off with a daft comment, not this time Sid! So please explain yourself!
