You mean like the European Nation?
Wait a minute, never existed...
(Holy) Roman/Napoleonic Empires/Third Reich enforced on others by a single nation
through war are not good examples for an Arabic success.
The approach of the European Union is a much better example.
Close cooperation between independent countries.
No war between France and Germany for 70 years (probably a record) is a great success.
Big problems exists, but the problems (within EU) are solved without war.
Making a Sunni nation including mostly Shia Iraq without a major conflict? Is that really going to happen?
Learn to live with the differences is a much better approach.
In Europe a war was fought between Protestants and Catolic states between 1618 - 1648.
Much like Syria today. I read somewhere that
the number of Czech villages before = 30,000. After the war about 6,000 villages remained.
Northern Europe is still mostly Protestant and Southern Europe still Catholic so the war
just depressed most economies. Very small political change except for some minor border changes.
Now both "sects" are working together in the EU.
Very few European want to see Arabs repressed.
Europeans want to live a good life, go on vacation to (safe) warm arab countries
(-40' C In Northern Europe at the moment. You can throw a glass of water in the air, and hear the ice hit the ground)
Part of the way market economics work, does work against Arabs.
A hotel room for 2 or 3 could well be 200 € / night in Northern Europe.
For a family of 5 you would need 2 rooms, so for a week holiday it is 2400-2800 €
You can get a much better deal by flying to Egypt all-inclusive hotels but the result is that
the employees of a resort hotel wont be paid as much as hotel employees in Northern Europe.
Not everyone can go to the outrageous priced hotels in Dubai...
I expect that if/when economies grow salaries will grow as well.
In the 1960s people were going to low cost Spain, and Spain is no longer low cost.
Western multinational companies are under pressure to improve the conditions
of their employees in "low-cost" countries. If a company uses repressive
rules vs employees, they could face consumer boycotts in the EU.
Very few companies start producing in Arab countries, but that probably has to do
with the political unrest, but also with perception.
Chinese/South East Asians are known to work hard and not make trouble.
The rise of the Chinese Economy since WW2 is amazing, and Europeans
do not want them to be poor. (they want more market for Mercedes-Benz and BMWs).
Arabs do not have this reputation, which may be fair or unfair.
The Arab nations needs to show that they are willing partners to the rest of the world.
Partners implies equality, and if the Arabs feel inferiority there can never be real partnership.
This is an internal journey (Jihad
that must happen in each Arab, and can only be achieved
by the Arabs themselves.
Arabs does not need to isolate themselves from the world. Arabs needs to find what they
can do better than anyone else in the world, concentrate on that, and make people outside want it.
The Arabs were a great power once when science and innovation was appreciated.
Is it appreciated right now?
Today, oil, tourism and food stuff is what the Arab nations have to offer.
Need to find more, guys!
If/when this happens, then real progress can happen.
Can only wish you good luck on a hard journey.
