GCC fight

This is quite expected.  There is no surprise there.  The one prince who stood up for reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Qatari (Prince Nayif) is now dead.  His son was never part of the one-prince lobby which pushed for reconciliation, which was also urged by the American headmaster.  There have been signs as of late in the Qatari press (yes, all Qatari media--like Saudi media--receive orders from above) where criticisms of Saudi Arabia and embarrassing stories about it mounted. They are in disagreement on Egypt, Palestine, and even Syria where Saudi Arabia have been pushing all pro-Qatari personalities and replacing them with pro-Saudi personalities.  I watch Gulf conflicts between the regimes with exhilaration and great anticipation.  I only hope for them to intensify and grow.  They are for the good of the Arab world.
