a nice Lebanese-Arab proverb says :
if you ,once, have to steal , then steal a Camel
(the Camel being the biggest animal)
and if you want to fall in love, then fall for the Moon
(the moon being the ultimate beauty in Arab literature)
And today
I say if you have to steal , go ahead and steal
a 200 million Barrels Giant-Tankers. .....
Indeed ,
Pirates have just done this, off the African Coast
it is owned by Aramco , the biggest company worldwide
the monopole-holder of all Saudi Oil,
owned by the richest monarchs on this Planet , who also owns
the whole Kingdom of Saudi Arabia , itself......
This huge cargo was originating from this
non-constitutional- absolute- monarchy- source
to probably ,the only-super-power which happens
to be the richest entity on earth....... .the USA.
It is stolen , or at least kidnapped , now
hijacked by Mr. Unknown
whether Somali Pirates or any other pirates ,
is irrelevant to me.
So much wealth ,
while, moving between the wealthiest-Family
towards the wealthiest-country,
is stolen , which makes it a crime !!
or rather a re-distribution of wealth ??
Somebody has stolen it......
is it a crime or a heroic-act ??
by any standards... ...you wish to apply ??
The Oil of Iraq is stolen 7 days per week, since 2003
and nobody calls them Pirates
78% of Palestine is stolen since 60 years
and nobody calls them Pirates..... .
and the list is long........ .......
