What is worst for these moderate regimes is that the support for the resistance movements is fruitful and is changing many facts on the ground.

The biggest fear of what is called the “moderate Arab axis” (Egypt, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others) is the accomplishments concerning the Arab- Israeli conflict by those described as “the tools of the Mullah regime,” (Hamas and Hezbollah). Oddly enough, the excuse these regimes use against the absence of democracy in Iran is the Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Scholars), while these same countries don’t even organize municipal elections or have been ruled by the same leaders for decades. 

The Arabs are not impartial concerning the situation in Iran. The moderate Arab regimes have been promoting “the Iranian danger” in the region as an alternative to the Israeli danger. The Americans have embraced this political game as well, in an attempt to create an alternative “enemy” for the Arabs, to shift international focus away from the racist Zionist regime, established on the historic grounds of Palestine. In fact, we don’t really know who invented the game of the imminent Iranian danger, but the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and the Jordanian King Abdullah were both clever in jumping on the Shiite threat bandwagon.
