I dont think the oil rich country's of the middle east are promoting terrorism, because they also are the objects of terrorists too.
I do occassionally see an English version of Al Jazeera, and it gives me the Arab / Palastinian view point. One of the problems that I am finding working here in Saudi is that Arabs/muslems feel that the West is not listening to their case, because of the strength of the Jewish lobby in the media and the British and USA Governments it is being censored.
The Middle East is very pro- Palastinian, that goes without saying and the local feeling is that every time a resolution comes before the U.N. that gives a little something to them it is vetoed by America. I would not be happy if the only media sources on this subject were Western, It would cause a Muslem backlash.
I dont like the powerful Jewish lobby, but at the same time one has to ask why are they so powerful. Well because of decades of sheer hard work. I dont like them but conceed that they are an inspiration to all. Middle eastern country's, learn from your enemy.
