Special to The Jewish News
W
in or lose, in power
or out, alive or
dead, Saddam Hus-
sein will be a destabilizing
force in the Middle East for
years to come.
That is the only conclusion
to be drawn from the nature
of the support for him among
Arabs in general and Pales-
tinians in particular. His in-
fluence over regional events
and policies will extend even
into Israel and the United
States.
Reports from various Arab
countries, including from
among the 12 states who
openly have vowed to force
Iraq out of Kuwait, show
that the Arab masses are
clearly divided over whether
to support Saddam Hussein
or condemn him.
Sheldon Engelmayer is the
former executive editor of The
Jewish Week of New York.
His strongest support
among the citizens of those
countries comes from the
disaffected and the poor.
They believe him when he
Says he is an Arab Robin
Hood, prepared to rob from
the oil-rich Arab
sheikhdoms to help the poor
masses. They identify with
his appeals to Arab pride
and nationhood. Having
spent centuries under the
colonial thumb, they accept
his argument that the West
is again seeking to dominate
them.
Whatever happens to
Saddam Hussein and Iraq
over the next weeks and
months, these people will
not go away. He has prom-
ised them a bigger piece of
the pie and they will not rest
until the promise is fulfilled.
This will be even more
likely if he is overthrown
and his country is defeated
in battle. The masses will
then be enraged by the fact
that the slice of pie he
offered them has been snat-
ched away by others, notably
their own political leaders
acting in concert with the in-
fidel West.
Others will have
grievances as well. Iraq re-
portedly had a million
workers from other Arab
lands within its borders.
Those people were there be-
cause that is where they
could earn their livings.
Now they are getting out of
Iraq as fast as possible. For
example, upwards of 50,000
Egyptians already have left
Iraq through Jordan alone.
There will be no jobs
awaiting most of them back
home. They, and those who
depended on the income they
earned in Iraq, will turn on
their leaders, whom they
will blame for their
predicament.
In Jordan, where the
government waffles between
outright support for Iraq and
condemnation of it, the prob-
lem already is acute.
