By the time that we find some countries declared its support for Israel , and some others used the VITO against stopping fire , we didn’t see any response from most of Arab countries , as if Lebanon is a country lies in the pacific ocean !!
This reflects a success for the American strategy in the Middle east , It used all what it can to hit Iraq fast and did terrible things there , leading that country into a disaster ,making every Arabic leader think twice before opposing its well , or even threatening Israel .
I will take my country for example ,Egypt .. It was supposed to do some thing useful as we all got used to , but not this time for many reasons ,which I will state some here .
Economically Egypt is passing through tough time , it wont survive any disturbance , Any sign of war or instability will make it worse .
Politically Egypt is buying the USA silence on what is happening now for judges and reporters , and all the disasters that occurred after elections , Although there are freedom for writing but there is no grantee that you will not go to jail after you write what you like !!
Also Egypt doesn’t keep good relations with Iran after the revolution , and as a result it doesn’t support Hezbollah , but the good thing is that it didn’t criticize Hezbollah for what it did , and at least it is talking about stopping the war .
The observer will know that Egypt will not enter any war unless it is protecting Egyptian affairs.
Anwar il sadat said that October's war is that last war , meaning that Egypt after that war will put its first priority on development trying to get what it missed through several wars.
The main reason in my opinion is that Arab are not united any more , making them weaker than before ,declaring a certain situation by one country could make it alone in the stage , ready to get destroyed or even threaten like Syria , this is related to what happened in 11/9 , what happened in that day changed lots of things , made any Arab country think twice before saying some thing make USA mad , USA used this accident well ,and gained more powers enables it to move alone attacking one country ,or making penalties against a certain country without the approval of UN .
The only victim now is both Lebanon and Palestine people.
