It’s Arab Egypt, oh brothers!
We do not flatter anybody when we say that we are in our second home country whenever we are in Egypt. We are in a country that has been providing Kuwait and the entire Arab nation with all aspects of life. The entire Arab nation is nothing and would become marginal and worthless without Egypt. Kuwait’s Justice Minister Faleh Al-Azab said nothing strange in this regard. He only expressed an opinion and those with the least amount of gratitude and appreciation would never object to, reject his statement or reshuffle priorities as a result of some political attitudes.
It seems that Azab angered the Muslim Brotherhood lawmakers to the extent that some of them demanded an apology for the sake of protecting Kuwait’s dignity, as if it was he who had described Kuwait as a ‘soft and flabby’ flank. Yes, indeed. We will never hesitate in providing all demands of Egypt that has always been there to protect the Kuwaiti people from Abdul Kareem Qassim who demanded annexing it in the 1960s and mobilized his troops at our northern borders.
Yes, we will never hesitate to provide the needs of Egypt that strongly rejected Saddam’s aggressions in Kuwait by its courageous leader, Hosni Mubarak, who sent the finest Egyptian army divisions to liberate Kuwait. Yes, we will never hesitate in providing the needs of Egypt that sent us Abdul Raziq Al-Sanhouri and Othman Khalil who set the Kuwaiti constitution that makes us so proud worldwide nowadays as we have an unrivalled democracy in the Arab world.
Yes, we will never hesitate in providing the needs of Egypt of science, culture, art and economy that sent helping hands and minds to various Arab countries. Kuwait and its people will never forget Zaki Tolaimatt, Hassan Shehata, Taha Basri, Mohammed Abdo Al-Wahsh, Hazem Al-Beblawy, Ahmed Zaki Atef and many others who made significant changes in Kuwait’s history.
The bottom line is that Iran has every right of fantasizing about a greater Persian state, the Turks have every right of fantasizing about reviving the Ottoman caliphate, but the question is: What about Arabs who support both sides - what do they fantasize about?!
