Some Arab govts blame Hezbollah for Middle East mess

BEIRUT: With the battle between Israel and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah raging, key Arab governments have taken the rare step of blaming Hezbollah, underscoring in part their growing fear of influence by the group's main sponsor, Iran.

Saudi Arabia, with Jordan, Egypt and several Persian Gulf states, chastised Hezbollah for "unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible acts" at an emergency Arab League summit meeting in Cairo on Saturday.

The Saudi foreign minister, Saud al-Faisal, said of Hezbollah's attacks on Israel, "These acts will pull the whole region back to years ago, and we cannot simply accept them." Prince Faisal spoke at the closed-door meeting but his words were reported to journalists by other delegates.

The meeting ended with participants asserting that the Middle East peace process had failed and requesting help from the United Nations Security Council.

3. Some of them know exactly how they cling to power.

The regimes in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan are our dependencies and routinely do our bidding.

5. Arab leaders in some countries are out of touch with their own people.

Saudi Arabia monarchy is on shakey ground and depends on the US and Israel to keep down a coup.
