Terriblus, I do not prejudge the situation without data; I simply said that the reasons for the shifting of positions of Arab states was not explained and could have come about from the use of graft, blackmail and coercion. I don't know that this was the case but I do know it is among the possible explanations.

As for "conveniently ignoring" the Audi position in the Arab world, would you like to be more explicit? I am sure you are not referring to the geographical location.
