'Who are you, to have the world conspire against you?'

Found this link on the Guardian website--a Saudi-born cleric urging his fellow Arabs to get over themselves:

Colonel Gaddafi said that the world was conspiring against Libya, out of envy for what the Libyan people enjoy. Then he recited the Holy Quranic Verse "From the evil of the envious when he envies." [Surat al-Falaq, Verse 5] The Syrian official media said that Syria was being exposed to a foreign conspiracy against its heroic struggle for resistance, resilience, survival and opposition. At this point, let me note that the Golan Heights have been under occupation for nearly half a century. The official Yemeni media stated that Yemen had been "targeted" because the country represents the cultural depth of the Arabs, and has a pan-national strategic dimension, along with further raving, irrational rhetoric. The official media in Jordan spoke of a foreign conspiracy hatched by covert forces to destabilize the country.

I would say: When will the Arabs abandon this conspiracy complex and stop denying mistakes and searching for scapegoats? When will you stop performing this farce, accusing foreign powers of conspiring against you, and blaming others for your faults? Who are you, to have the world conspire against you? Who are you to have the world's superpowers preoccupied with you? Why would the world target you, and what would it envy you for? Your wealth? Whilst your peoples feel the bitter taste of hunger, shame, ignorance, disease and underdevelopment? Or would the world target you for your giant industries, large-scale production, research centers, energy sources, bountiful knowledge, arsenals, destroyers, battleships, and aircraft carriers, when you can't even construct a car? Frankly, you are bottom of the global list in terms of industry, agriculture, education, development and production.

Also in terms of the number of books published, a sign that there's too much seething and not enough reading. (And if the same three books--the Koran, Mein Kampf and Protocols of the Elders of Zion--dominate your best-seller list year after year, it's no wonder you're so prone to conspiracy-mongering.)
