If They Had Democratic Arab Governments

This is a remarkable on-line poll by Al-Jazeera. In light of the coordinated statements by Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan that Hizbollah's confrontation with Israel is a reckless and irresponsible adventure that is "hurting the Arab cause," the question is posed as to whether this is true or that the confrontation is legitimate resistance. 91% of the 13,627 who took part said that it was legitimate resistance.

The chasm between the Arab people and their dictators has never been greater.
