Human Jealously and Selfishness

Just might play into our favor with the Iraq election. Here is a link talking about how Arab news stations covered the election. It appears that the "news" was the election itself and not the violence that accompanied it. I think in the scheme of things, the news folks got it exactly right.

And human jealousy and selfishness, ususally bad things we allow to weigh too heavily on our feelings, may help out in the shaping of a new middle east. I can see men and women in Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia watching the Iraq elections and thinking, "Shit - I WANT that, also."

That's the master plan, isn't it?
