promoting patiently
Erdogan, al-Assad, Netanyahou and maybe al-Sissi.
Four leaders and their entourage are holding a whole region hostage,
preventing development, economic growth and social freedoms : peace.
It's the fairytale of the Arab people needing strong leaders or they would kill eachother,
that it would all fall into chaos.
The educated people support the autocrats' believes as well
in their superiority complex stemming from their relative success to the poor
and the Western, Chinese and Russian leaders aren't able to detach from that wrong truth neither,
basing their own rule partially or fully on it.
.
It should be learned that the need for strong leaders, the wish for strong leaders
leads to strong leaders to emerge.
But nobody guarantees the goodwill of the leader as with any presidential poll,
it's fifty-fifty, you just never know.
A civil government can be unelected after a term, but Arab countries are at war
so a civil authority is usually as well a military one
leading to ease at corrupting or rigging the polls in favor of the strong leader
who such proves that is strong
stronger than the people :
delusional
Erdogan, al-Assad, Netanyahou and maybe al-Sissi.

My solution is of course the establishment of at least one collegial council in the region.
Be it in Lebanon, Syria or Yemen or another country.
I aim for the establishment of an example in the Middle East
- where national politicians of the different vectors of society
can sit united at a table and trade compromises and progress
tearing the discussion to an educated people's level
rather than the delusional warmongering;
- where there is no need for a strong leader at the head of the state;
- where the strong leaders are rather head of political parties
and the equal leaders of the executive, the councilors, are rather eloquent technocrats,
managing the government in fair and efficient manner,
allowing for national development, economic growth and social freedoms;
- where there is peace and trust.
.
Leaders, who can't sit united at a table, don't deserve - as the bad examples that are -
a united people who trades out conflict interests as well in peaceful manner.
For as long as the leaders can't get along, the people will find difficulty to do so.
To force the leaders into the egalitarian directorial executive style
and forcing them to uphold their loyalty to this way of doing politics
can ensure they learn to build compromises
able to win the majority of the hearts of the people again,
helping reducing religious extremist pressures; terrorism.
