While Saddam is enjoying the virgins or maybe the tanning (in hell), we can learn something

Although Shia-Arabs celebrated the death of former Iraqi dictator, most Arabs or most Sunnis who share the same sect belief with Saddam found themselves mourning him, despite some of them were personaly victimized by Saddam. If this is to say something, this would be the fact that religion is the most important factor for mobilization in the middle East. Iran played that well while The West played on Arab nationalism. It is proven that when you speak with a religious voice in the Middle East, you are more credible, even if your deeds discredit you.

Now if the West can close the deal with religious authorities (known of moderation) in the Middle East, the Middle East as a conflict area will become history. If the West keeps helping leaders like Mubarak whose people sleep in the cemetery and on the Nile boats while the Muslims brotherhood offers food and shelter, the West then is by all means investing tax payers`money to radicalize the Middle East nations, endangering therefore Israel indirectly and for the long run.

It is probably time to consider the playing factor in that area, encourage moderate authorities, crash radicals and close permanent deals..The poor needs life more than death in that area, only half-dead people go for the extreme. The bringing of those half-dead youth at least to the poverty level will also help.
