Peter's Viewpoint

You are damned if you do and you are damned if you don’t.

This time there are too many snakes in the pit to allow the Arab world to drag the Western Allies into a Middle East conflict that has all the signs of being a mouse trap.

The Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi blames al-Qaeda and like a series of explosions throughout the Middle East, the people are uprising against the dictatorships that are a common denominator.

It is the right of the people of those countries to fight for their own freedom and they must do so to understand what true freedom is about.

Russia and America must not become involved in that battle nor should Europe; the stockpiles of weapons in those countries are adequate for the citizens to fight for their own independence.

The maximum opportunity of civil war in the Middle East is the advancement of society and not the lack of production of consumer goods due to a reduction of oil output.
