conversation with a co-worker....

the saudi's that work in the citigroup office in saudi arabia never really work hard...and they pretty much work just to go through the motions..whereas all the international workers...are the ones staying late and do most of the work (americans, indians etc...)....this is because that in countries like saudi...it is huge families of power that control the entire country...these families have a stranglehold on the direction and wealth distribution of the country...the educated and rich who have jobs....only work as a formality...whereas the poor...work not to get rich..but to survive.....

we were talking about how the wealth of the middle east is there to help develop such run down desert countries...but because the wealth(oil) is there..and it is controlled by the upper echelon...what reason do they have to disperse it?...to develop it?...this type of movement to develop a capitalistic state...or even simpler than that...a more aggressive and developed economical state...is the exact thing needed to build a nation and a strong citizen in the middle east...

leading to the point as to why these huge arab nations (ie egypt) do not take a stand for the state of palestine...take it under its wing..and really push it further...be aggressive about its peoples...and a huge reason is again because of $$...developing this strong people's will cause distribution of their own wealth...which these families in power will not do....
