Does The Middle East Need A Nelson Mandela?

Yes...If Nelson Mandela is a good and decent man....which by many accounts he is.....then the middle east.., like any place on earth, needs as many people like him as it can get. But to bring a general peace to this area... They are going to need many more like him. Much of the conflict in the middle east beginning with the start of World War One,  has and is about oil first and foremost. The British Navy switched from coal to oil around the year 1912. Also Britain needed oil for things like its aircraft, trucks or lorries as they are also known, and many other uses necessary for its survival as well as prosecution of the war. While most of the focus of The Great War is centered around the western front in Europe, the British campaigns in the middle east during this conflict are quite substantial. The religious antagonisms in this part of the world are among the worst in the world. At The Treaty of Versailles Iraq was formed putting the Kurds,.Sunnis, and Shiites together in the same country. Which prompted one aid worker who had been there for a long time to comment, "You are flying in the face of four milliena of history if you are going to draw a line around Iraq and call it a political entity." And the religious antagonisms don't end there or with the country of Iraq. There are also Christians and Jews as well as a few others. Similar religious antagonisms are alive in many countries throughout the region.
But the fact is while religious antagonisms might instigate a conflict from time to time they alone are not the biggest piece of the peace puzzle   No it is economics  the religious antagonisms are merely a rallying point used to motivate the common people in to taking up arms and killing one another. Which is true of many wars. Once all the oil is gone or if oil is replace by another source of energy then a general peace will arrive.

I have answered these kind of questions so many times before and still it angers me and ten to one will till the day I die but i feel that the rest of the world have to know what is really going on in the land that our wonderful nelson Mandela was supposedly saving from the white Afrikaner people who oppressed the black people.  They called it "apartheid".

No country in the world need another Mandela, we were a very wealthy country before he took over.  Everyone had money, work and places to stay no matter if you were black or white.  Our country has gone to the dogs since Mandela took over, no one has anything except him and his friends.  All the qualified people has either left our country already and the once that haven't done so as yet are doing it now.  We sit with a unemployment rate of 54% and not even talking about the last two years kids that finished school, 82% of them don't have work.

Im not even going to reaped all the things I've already said about this nothing worthless country I live in now and believe me they are loosing another professional because I have only 4 weeks left them i leave this place forever.  Do yourself a favour and read some of my other answers to do with Politics and you will find out what is happening here

Just answer me one question.  Have you ever heard of any African country that are doing well with their African President, no not one and just look at the US, things are happening there as I predicted it would even before it happened.  As soon as your new President started to rule I told people what will happen next and everything has happened as I said.  Remember I lived through something like this for the past 16 years since Nelson Mandela took over so you tell me if it would be a good thing.

Where we never use to need the outside world for nothing because we had more then enough of our own, now we have to beg other countries to give us money, what a laugh.  They will only realize what they have lost once they have nothing left and they are not far from it because there are only 7.5% white people still left in SA and once they are gone then everything else will be gone

Why, are we expecting some Middle East country to cry "apartheid?"

What we need most is peace.

Either a H or A bomb and it all turns to glass.

No not actually. He's hiding like the other's.

The middle east problem is that two wrongs dont make a right.

They Should Have Had A Nelson Mandela Type Years Ago.. But With All The Religious Things Brewing There He'd Probably Get Assassinated

Be careful of any ideas you may be throwing out there! The next thing you know, they'll be electing some official who's spent 27 years in prison.

Short answer is no.
