There is nothing that Arab governments would not do to stay in power: they would kill Palestinians, they would betray their own ruling ideologies, they would violate their own laws, they would break their own promises, all to stay in power. I say these words after reading that the Syrian government suddenly transferred funds that belong to the Iraqi people to the puppet/theocratic government in Baghdad. That money will be used to partically defray the cost of an increasingly costly American (and Macedonian) occupation.
