Excellent TV prog I just got round to seeing on the origins of the present Middle East problems -and on ch 4 too!
It outlined the provenance of strife in the region by the Arabs alignment with totlitarianism -going back 80 years, with Hitler's Nazis,then the Soviet Union and it went on to explain that it was only after the Arabs cosied up to the Soviets that the US started supporting Israel.
It was heartening to hear arab commentators noting that by and large the arabs are the authors of their own misfortune and they need to get their act together and stop blaming others for their own failings.
