Ahmed Al-Jarallah on the Fate of Dictatorships

It is interesting to read things like this in a column of a newspaper in the Middle East, The Arab Times to be exact. The writer is apparently the Editor-In-Chief.

Nasrallah’s dictatorship will sink like those of Saddam Hussein and other regimes, which did not know their true ability. Egyptians suffered under the dictatorship of the late Gamal Abdul Nasser who led them to war in 1967. The late Egyptian President believed Arab power can defeat Israel. However, the result was different as Arabs were handed out a humiliating defeat. Nasrallah, who is being remote-controlled by Iran and Syria, believes he is in the mold of many Arab leaders. But the fact is he is playing with fire.

I wonder, would we be seeing such comments in the Middle East if Saddam were still in power?
