The paradoxical American democracy
THE United States of America has cracked us up with lots of lectures about democracy, freedom, equality, human rights and other brilliant slogans.The US says it wants to consolidate all these ideals in countries that it claims to be lacking in them. The US claim is to put into practice these ideals in accordance with its own standards, precisely the American standards. However, the export versions of these ideals drastically differ from the versions for its internal use.It was under this pretext that the US interfered in the affairs of many countries, toppled some of the regimes and replaced others. It destroyed some countries while people of other countries were totally worn out as a result of the American interference. The US invented the so-called Arab Spring with the lie of introducing...

The Greater Middle East and the danger of fundamentalism
The clashes among global powers are instrumental in constantly changing the scenario in the world and its balance of power. As far as nations, peoples and societies are concerned, nothing remains the same and this is also the case with countries and international institutions. Monitoring these changes and the resulting transformations is useful for forming awareness, building visions and foreseeing the future.Some analysts and thinkers from within and without the United States of America are talking about the decline of the US role internationally, and this is a retreat and “withdrawal” that was theorized by a broad ideology inside America. One of its most prominent preachers and theorists was former President Barack Obama, who unlike other presidents, was not satisfied with authoring...

Event Economy: Formula 1 race
It is no longer a secret for everyone who follows Saudi affairs the great interest and keenness that the government attaches to what is known as the event economy. Hence, the government has mobilized all kinds of resources and capabilities to ensure excellence and success in achieving the desired goal.The ambition of Saudi Arabia in this realm is obviously infinite. With every successful event that achieves its promotional and commercial goals, the appetite is opened to achieve a more important, larger and more influential goal.Saudi Arabia hosted important and diverse artistic and sports events in which it was able to attract world stars in singing, boxing, golf, football, car and motorcycle racing with a very impressive and remarkable success. The Kingdom has been able to attract...

Sept. 11 is not out of context
Let us briefly review what had happened in those years; I mean before and after Sept. 11, 2001 when Al-Qaida terrorists struck the United States. This is also an attempt to put Sept. 11 in its chronological context.In 1991, Saudi Arabia revoked the citizenship of Osama Bin Laden when he refused to return to the Kingdom, and it was known at the time that he was the one who directed and supported terrorist operations from his place of residence in Sudan. In 1996, he left for Afghanistan and officially assumed the role of emir of this terrorist organization, and the name Al-Qaida appeared to us later.In 1993, Ramzi Yousef, a Pakistani national, attempted to bring down a tower of the World Trade Center in New York by driving a medium-sized truck into the tower’s garage and blowing it up. The...

Biden... Recycling of terrorist waste!
In a reckless action in 1998, Al-Qaida attacked the embassies of the United States of America in Kenya and Tanzania. The simultaneous attack claimed the lives of 224 people, and injured 5,000 others. Of course, the attack was horrific and provocative to the American public opinion, and it came two years before the new presidential elections, in which the Democrats were aspiring to complete a third round of victory. Therefore a controlled American military action was necessary to relieve the tension. This was not the first terrorist attack on American interests in the Middle East and Africa specifically during the administration of Democrat President Bill Clinton. This terrorist attack was preceded by an attack on the residence of American military experts in Riyadh in 1995,...

The inauguration of a new era of education
After a long and difficult period, public education schools and universities opened their doors on Sunday, commencing a new and completely different academic year, which can be described without exaggeration as the inauguration of a new educational era in the Kingdom.This day should be replete with our calls to the Ministry of Education to deliver an explicit message that its efforts have been crowned with success in overcoming the huge challenges with confidence, determination and decisiveness.The ministry’s success is the success of our country and its generations, as well as the realization of our dreams and our legitimate hopes to be in the right position in this world, which is witnessing fierce competition that displaces the latecomers and those who are reluctant to invest time,...

Put all this together with a nuclear Iran too!
At a time when the Western, Arab and Asian worlds are watching the astonishing repercussions in Afghanistan and the horrific images from Kabul International Airport, some may overlook the events of the same gravity that’s taking place in Iran, the western neighbor of Afghanistan.What about the Iranian nuclear program, and where are we going with that, and how will this affect Iran’s neighbors in all directions — east, west, south and north?Earlier this year, the European members of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) had expressed grave concerns about Iran’s enrichment of uranium. They said Iran had no credible civilian need to enrich uranium, for this was a “key step in developing a nuclear weapon.”Yes, this was in the past. But the most recent thing was the...

The world after the defeat of Washington
The scenes of thousands of Afghans waiting to be evacuated from the country before US troops leave, will remain stuck in the American and international memory.The painful images of the desperate Afghans at the Kabul airport trying to flee the rule of Taliban will not only be a reminder of the global and the American failure but also trigger another similar images over four decades ago.The chaotic pullout from Kabul relived the scenes of America’s haphazard withdrawal from Saigon in Vietnam in 1975 — despite the vast differences between Afghanistan 2021 and Vietnam 1975.At that time the scene of the hovercraft landing to evacuate American diplomats in Vietnam emerged as a symbol of the global defeat of America and its Western allies. And the scenes at Kabul’s airport will be etched in...

The night when Kabul collapsed
While a flurry of videos was streaming out of the Afghan capital Kabul when the Taliban fighters were consolidating their control over the capital, one video caught my special attention.The leaders of the Taliban movement and all other movements and organizations that claim that they belong to political Islam should contemplate on it well and see how the Afghan people thronged the tarmac of the Kabul International Airport, clinging to the tail of the US military aircraft in the literal sense of the word, unmindful of the fact that this could lead to them to falling to death from great heights.The Afghan people decided to escape from political ideologies that have always imposed their model on the people, which distorted the true image of Islam and made alienate Muslims in front of...

Saudis preserving their unique, Gulf, Arab and Islamic identity
Saudis were not known as people of the Gulf until after the year 1980 when the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) came into being. The GCC was established in extraordinary circumstances to confront the rapid and dangerous changes that suddenly swept the region.This was when the region witnessed three major incidents in the year 1979 — the Soviet Union occupied the Afghan capital Kabul, and became closer than ever to oil deposits on the Gulf coasts; Saddam Hussein turned against President Ahmad Hassan Al-Bakr, seizing the presidency of Iraq; and Khomeini overthrew Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and inherited the dreams of the Persian Empire.What a leap year was 1980, after which major events and developments took place.Saudi Arabia is located almost in the middle of the world, with a wide view of...
