Engineer,
Not entirely true; as a fluent Arabic speaker who has served in Oman, UAE, Kuwait and Jordan and other several Moslem societies over many years I think the reaction to the lies and propaganda put out by the politically inspired Mirror will have immense repercussions in a highly volatile situation. The fact remains that Morgan played to an audience, gambled with our lives and lied to the British public and the world. Sadly, the indications are that many are prepared to overlook the fabrication of such evidence to achieve their own agendas in todays cynical media and political environments.
Amateurish reporting too if I may observe. Many on this forum argue and present their case much more eloquently than the average Fleet Street tabloid hack.
By the way, the region has been steeped in Western influence for decades if not hundreds of years. Have you visited Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain etc etc For those laughingly regarded as "third world" Countries, many put the UK infrastructure to shame.
Sadly we can\'t get the toothpaste back into the tube !
