'Peace Must for ME Progress' |
2005-05-21 |
Jordan's King Abdallah said yesterday peace in the Middle East was essential for a sustainable development of the region. The king was opening a three-day conference of the World Economic Forum (WEF) at this Dead Sea resort. "This forum must face the realities of peace and conflict. Regional instability remains a major barrier to sustainable development and prosperity. Failing to solve this problem is simply not an option," he added. The king was referring to the half-a-century-old Arab-Israeli conflict. Abdallah urged about 1,200 participants to help Arab countries to "forge a consensus on specific reforms." "Your action can have a huge impact. In the region, you will help forge consensus on specific reforms. On the global scene, you will be encouraging support for the Arab world's initiative," the king said. |

#1 Pfeh. Here we go with the eternal Stability Meme bullshit, again. The rancid rat-plagued M.E. doesn't need "stability" - it needs an exterminator. Every attendee, except Iraq, is from a KingyDumb, Dictatorship, Thugocracy, or Mullahcracy. Get screwed, Abbie. The "reforms" you kleptos offer are window-dressing in hopes of keeping Bush at bay, nothing more. Won't work. You're still a Kingy Thingy, right? Absolute power and all that rot? Yeah, thought so. Stability comes AFTER you leeches are burned off. |
