The Arab Summit in Damascus

I watched the opening ceremony of the 20th Arab summit in Damascus ,the summit that would not have seen the light except for the persistence of the Syrians and this something I respect them for.

For your record I am already feeling sick and not well ,I always got sick in this changing weather and I missed most of the speeches except the important ones at least from point my view.

I did not and I would not have missed the speech of Bashar Al-Assad ,already he was heading this summit this year and he spoke as the President ,I love Bashar's speeches in the Arab summits since he became the president of Syria after his dad , yes he is one tall dictator ,son of a dictator but he speaks in a wonderful wise way , first of all in the previous summit he talked without reading any paper ,this is time he was reading from paper but still it was a good speech and less firing than I expected , I thought that Bashar would take Egypt and Saudi Arabia whether directly or indirectly like what he had done in the urgent summit after the Israeli invasion to South Lebanon in 2006 but he did not,it was quiet speech. "Seriously this young man can be a great leader if he just gets rid from daddy's entourage  and adopts democracy"

I like what he said and agreed on several parts regarding that Arab League and its summits can't solve the conflict between the Palestinians or the Iraqis if they do not want to solve it in the first place. They must solve by themselves not by the others.Regarding the Peace process he said that there was no use from Annapolis and he is true and that they "Syrian"  are holding to their right in the Golan heights even after all those years.

About Lebanon well he said that all the pressures on Syria now were to make it involve again In Lebanon and that was something Syria would not accept as Syria is careful Lebanon independence.

Here is his speech from BBC Arabic ,it is not translated but I tried to summarize above the important points that he said.

Next was Amr Moussa ,the Secretary general of the Arab league, the man whom after listening to his wonderful firing speech. Moussa was  under the fire of the official Egyptian Press as he stood against all the Egyptian-Saudi Western attempts to cancel the Summit this year or even transfer it to the unofficial capital of Egypt Sharm El-Sheikh, seriously I read awful attack against him in the official newspapers saying that he is good at nothing except speaking  to the press ,well I thought that what Abu El-Gait is only good at !!! Amr Moussa in front of the TV gave a summary for the activities of the League in the past year and it was one hell of a summary , I think that he wanted to send a message the people saying that it is not the fault or guilt of the Arab league that the Arabic conditions reached the bottom like this still the league is trying to do its best , at least this is what I got .

Moussa assured throughout his speech about the importance of this summit at that critical time just like What Al Assad JR had said , he stressed over and over on this point and the fact that we can't deny that our conflicts as Arabs between each other reached to unacceptable level.

He also reminded us by several important issues other than the Presidency in Lebanon like the Palestinian agony , the on going river of blood in Iraq , Sudan,Somalia and even the Comoro Islands.

Moussa ended his speech in a very Egyptian way sending a direct missile to those who understand and I think they are many in the Arab world

I would like to remind you by what President Hosni Mubarak said from two years "I think" that the Arab Summits should be held twice a year !!

Of course Mubarak was not there ,you already know that, he did not even send his rude FM but the a junior minister , the minister of legal affairs and Parliament issue and the tailor of anti-freedom laws Dr.Mofid Shahab , the official statement is that Mubarak is objecting on the Syrian interfere in Lebanon ,just like the king of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the American gang allies in the region like The king of Jordan ,the President of Yemen and the Prince of Bahrain.

The best thing Shahab prepared a speech to say it in the summit ,surprisingly the Syrian FM came and said that only Presidents and Kings are allowed to speak  !! "I love Mr. Walid El-Mallam , by the way he was graduated from the Cairo University , Faculty of Economics and Political Sciences"

To be honest after Amr Moussa ,I went to sleep then I woke up on the big star of the Arab summit , the annual show on the Arabic TV stations , the Gaddafi Speech , the complete madness.

already I have question who was that foreigner western behind him when he was saying his speech ?? Second why was he wearing

About his speech , Well it was as usual strange one , some parts you will find him speaking in a very logic way and in the other parts you do not understand and in other parts you will find a complete madness.

He repeated again his One Palestinian-Israeli solution after some reasonable talk about Palestine.

He spoke about Iran and why should not we be good with it , then reminded us with a strange fact that 70% of the Emirate People are from Iranian decadent !!

He spoke about the Arabic relations then he said that those Arabs in Asia are minority that would disappear !!!

His top moment this year was when he said the following :

Saddam was hanged , Abu Amar "Yasser Arafat" was poisoned and you are next !!

Seriously this guy sometimes said good things ,like how the Arab countries have better relations with western countries than the other Arab countries ,then suddenly he returns back to his mad talk like Isratine !!

I did not complete with the rest of the speech , I think Abu Mazan was next ,I did not hear him because I am sick enough to listen to him ,already the guy was attacked indirectly in the previous speeches.

Anyhow I think those 8 presidents and Kings who did not attend saved our time , no more repeated useless speeches from Mubarak or Abdallah II of Jordan .

Sometimes I feel that this summit may reach to something because all the American gang allies are absent

I will go to bed now coz I am so sick
