"I will gladly retract any "inane remark " I have made."
No you won't - you never have so why should you start now?
"I have never posted anything that could be described as "crocodile tears.""
Been there, done that; got nowhere. You put up an excellent example of them up yourself earlier in this thread, why waste any more space?
"Also put up any evidence that the Arab or Moslem world is affected by this in the way you claim."
If you think that invading the space of a sovereign state to carry out an assassination, training special forces which will return to Bahrain to continue to put down protests, imprisoning 'supects' in concentration camp conditions, torturing them and shipping them off to countries where torture is commonplace to be 'fine-tuned', using chemical weapons on civilians, continuing to count Middle Eastern despots as "friends and allies"..... and all the other double dealing that is happening at present (most of which you refuse even to discuss as 'off-topic'), then I see little point in takng up more space here.
I've stated my views on the 'Arab Spring' and the possible positive and negative effects on the Middle East situation.
Already there are signs that some of these effects are being dissapated and being taken advantage of by Muslim extremists (fighting between Muslims and Coptic Christians in Egypt for instance).
There is a possibility of further major confligration breaking out in the not-to-distant future; this time involving Israel and Iran - I suggest you look our the recent statment from the retired head of Mossad   
Bombings and assassination are no way to a solution to the Middle East problems a has been proven over and over again.
