Middle East - I love You, Hate You....

What is it with the West World?

Most politics, Press, Media hit the subject of Middle East.
Even Singers, Actors, Actresses make sure that they perform or do something there.
Elton John strive to sing in any country in the Middle East.
Janet Jackson is dating now an Arab "Businessman" from Qatar.

Everyday, we must hear and watch all kind of news, events, arguments, analysis about Middle East:
Some good, but mostly bad.

Defiant Iran, Troubled Pakistan, War in Afghanistan, Islam in Saudi Arabia, Judaism in Israel, Oppression in Occupied Palestine and Liberated Gaza, Controversy in Morocco, Safe Heaven Tunis, Diversity Libya, Torn-Out Iraq, Troubled Yemen, Mr. Fix It Turkey, Bad Boy Syria, Chess-Board Lebanon, Ruptured Sudan, Nile-Off Egypt, Alternative State Jordan, Democratic Kuwait, Spectacular Emirates, Naughty Qatar, Grown-Up Bahrain, Good Son Oman ....

Love and Hate at the same time.
Summer and Winter under one roof.

Even in movies and TV shows, there should be hints of Arabs, Jews, Islam, Iran... in different ways and shapes.

Lately we see The Prince of Persia and understand that the plot of the movie idea is based  on a perilous quest to stop an evil mastermind's plot for ultimate power with a mystical weapon that can control the very fabric of time.
Typical...

In Sex and The City we see the American Women invades the Arabian main traditions and culture.

It is funny that when the shooting of this movie was refused in the Emirates, the producers managed to shoot it in Morocco but to appear as Emirates.
What an insist...

If we read history well, we can not but notice that all the States mentioned above were under some sort of Western Occupation.

All of them have now their independence... or not?

I forgot to say that by Western Occupation I mean European - not American.

The Americans now want to be involved and in control.
So, they use all kind of tools they are good with... including Weapons, technology, Media, friends, enemies, allies and movies......to invade.

And they also use all kinds of invasions; real, psychological, political, economical, educational, tactical, cultural, etc...

Europe can not help but remembering how great were those days few decades ago, when it was the ultimate power in that lucrative region.

It might be possible that Europe is putting all those obstacles so USA can not win in the region.
Of-course the Region should not win as well.

Oh. It seems this is the best movie ever.
