Two friends were walking near the mountains when they saw a black animal from a far. One of them said: Friend, do you see that crow over the mountain?
His friend replied: Yes, but it's not a crow but a goat. Couple of minutes later, the animal flew. One said: See, I told you it is a crow. The other replied: it’s a goat even if flew!
This shows the persistence, arrogance and stubborn of some people who stick to the wrong opinion. The same is happening now in the Arab region as the conflicting parties are sticking to their views, even if they are wrong.
This is a feature of the Arabs and all Arab leaders are like so. For example, president Nasser led Egypt to the setback of 1967 that destroyed Egyptian economy and social life. Sadat held Camp David agreement that led terrorists in Sinai and embraced the opening-up policy that almost got nuclear waste to be buried in the Egyptian desert. This was policy of “Goat even if flew”
As for Mubarak, he led Egypt to the first Gulf War that we had nothing to do with. Egyptian forces participated in the liberation of Kuwait, but the Egyptians were not appreciated by the Kuwaitis who treat them badly. Mubarak cut relations with Iran and scared us from the Shiites. The Gulf countries want Egyptians to die out of hunger, but the Egyptian government is still supporting them as it’s a goat even if flew.
The officials who destroyed the Egyptian infrastructure were not held accountable for any mistakes as it is a goat even if flew.
Gentlemen, stubbornness and insistence destroy our Arab countries more than their enemies would. We should learn the difference between a goat and a crow in order to reach safety, freedom and prosperity.
