The request of the Saudi Arabian representative from Western countries not to interfere in conflicted Arab regions with their political, economical, and militaries policies is a fair game in my opinion, but not a realistic one. The Saudi prince told US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the Arab world would rather have Lebanon, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories under minimal foreign influence such as from the UN or the United States itself.
Prince Saud al-Faisal might have spoke for a large part of the Arab world when he said that there should be more unity and less dividends within the Arabs.
The interests of the Saudi prince may seem good in their nature but they should concern Western countries since they are playing to the hands of the terrorizing Iranian regime and its tools at the problematic areas. The unreal part of this request lies in the interests of the Western countries in those areas; democracy and modernization in Israel (Palestine in the eyes of the prince); Western supportive government in Iraq; and a liberal independent Lebanon. The risk that lies behind the Saudi request is as follows: In the three discussed regions there are several terror groups (Hamas, Hezbollah) that are being supported financially and physically by Iran, the same country that Prince Saud al-Faisal wishes to support by isolating its governmental bodies from Western supervision. This kind of act will increase the chances of Iranian biological warfare that may lead to an open war between the totalitarian regimes (Iran, Syria, North Korea, Libya and more) to the democratic nations.
