Summary

This quote highlights the multiple challenges faced by the Middle East. The region suffers from various issues such as widespread violence, including conflicts and acts of terrorism, which destabilize societies and create a sense of insecurity. Additionally, there are shortages in essential resources like food, water, and educational opportunities, leading to socio-economic struggles. Discrimination against women is another concern, as it limits progress and stifles half of the population's potential. However, the most significant factor impacting the region is the absence of freedom, which suppresses political and social liberties, hindering progress and development. Collectively, these issues contribute to the ailing state of the Middle East.

It is said that Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo because he forgot his infantryhe staked too much upon the more spectacular but less substantial calvary. The present administration in Washington provides a close parallel. It has either forgotten or it does not want to remember the infantry of our economic army. These unhappy times call for the building of plans that rest upon the forgotten, the unorganized but the indispensable units of economic power, for plans like those of 1917 that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
