...article, Bader divided the Arabs (if I amy generalize and call them Arabs without offending Mr. El-Jeaan, a Kuwaiti who has renounced his Arabism) into two groups, the "haves" and the "have-nots"--in other words, the rich Gulf countries of the Arab world versus the poor Arab countries. Bader talks about some conspiracy by the poor Arabs against the rich Arabs in the name of Pan-Arabism. According to Bader, this conspiracy was promoted by the Palestinians. These lesser Arabs are nothing but bastards lacking moral fortitude. Thus, he does not want to be associated with them...
...point I am trying to make here is that none of the Arab leaders care about Arabism, neither the Kuwaiti government nor the Iraqi president. Arabism is only rooted in the Arab masses. It is exploited by their authoritarian dictators to manipulate the people for their own sake. Dear Bader, you fell in the same trap Saddam Hussein planted for the Arabs as your fellow Palestinians did. Saddam tried to manipulate the Arab masses by claiming that he was fighting for the Pan-Arab cause--equality between the Arabs and the freedom of the Palestinians. Palestinians, Jordanians and North African...

I am a Kuwaiti, not an Arab. As such, I refuse to sacrifice my own cause for the sake of the Palestinians who have been the founding, immaleable basis of Arab nationalism. Why must it be that the only link that has held together our fragile Arab "brotherhood" for the last 40 years has been our common Zionist "enemy...
...Iraq, or endorsement of Allied resolve to liberate Kuwait, would agitate his predomonantly Palestinian subjects and would probably lead to his downfall. To Ali Saleh, president of Yemen, Iraq's annexation of Kuwait would annull the generous low-interest loan of $87 million made to his country by the Kuwaiti Fund for Arab Economic Development. Whither the brotherly concern for Kuwait...
OVER THE PAST six months, Kuwaitis have been tortured, raped and systematically executed. Amnesty International reported that dozens of women have had their breasts mutilated by Iraqi soldiers. Is this the act of a Muslim and Arab brother? Kuwaiti boys as young as 15 have been subjected to horrendous tortures such as hanging from rotating fans and electric shocks to the genitals. Iraqi troops have raped young girls and killed boys in front of their families. If this is how Arabs treat their brothers, I can't possibly imagine how they might treat their enemies...
