"Economic gloom overshadowed the summit, often a pageant of decorum and flowery rhetoric where substantive issues are overshadowed by petty rivalries among Arab states"

"Arab summit is told economic crisis to hit Middle East hard" by Noha El-Hennawy and Borzou Daragahi, Los Angeles Times | March 31, 2009
DOHA, Qatar - The global economic crisis may plunge the Middle East, already reeling from war and extremism, into further chaos, the ruler of Qatar warned other national leaders and diplomats yesterday at the annual Arab League summit.
Sheik Hamad ibn Khalifa al-Thani, emir of the tiny but increasingly influential kingdom of Qatar, brushed aside persisting squabbles among Arab states to warn that the world economic crisis would strike the Middle East hard.
"Our Arab world was among the most vulnerable regions in the world to be affected by the storm," Khalifa told the dignitaries assembled in the capital of his nation, which is rich in oil and natural gas.
Economic gloom overshadowed the summit, often a pageant of decorum and flowery rhetoric where substantive issues are overshadowed by petty rivalries among Arab states.
President Bashar Assad of Syria called for Arab unity even when there are stark disagreements. But politics took a back seat to economic worries as the contagion rooted in the collapse of the US financial system and real estate markets begins to affect the Middle East.
I EXPECT ANOTHER WAR REAL SOON!!!
