Two key weapons commonly used these days are the media and the economy. Any entity possessing these two powerful tools has a strong influencing power over the common public. Let's concentrate on the role of the media. This dominant instrument of swaying public opinion can easily be misused by vested interests. This is a well-established fact, as the Arab world has experienced over the years. Irresponsible elements within the media fraternity have often played a destructive role, to the detriment of the Arab nation. The positions that they adopt have only caused disruption in political and economic circles. They present facts in a way that instigates the masses to serve the objectives of the forces that pull the strings of these media outlets. At a time when the Arab nation needs every possible shot in the arm to help it face the numerous challenges before it, these manipulative media organs go about their dictated agendas. They are oblivious to the fact that they have an important role to play in strengthening Arab security. Over time, the devious goals of these organs have become clear. Their sole objective is to stir up negative passions among the people and spread chaos, to the extent that it could even lead to war. They are hell-bent on being a voice for their masters to create internal differences and conflicts. But the silver lining here is that they now stand exposed. Their agendas are no longer hidden. Common readers and viewers are now well aware of their scheming designs and have begun shunning their brainwashing onslaught with downright contempt. In the end of it all, it is well known to all that sections of the Arab media have been infiltrated by forces of evil bent on fomenting strife within the fold. These forces are clear to all, and are being resisted by the Arabs in the interest of the nation.
