So, Fareed Zakaria is not an Arab and he thinks Arabs have difficulty tying their shoes, let alone trying to glue two pieces of paper together.
I’m sure that he’ll argue that he’s not talking about Arabs as a people but only about Saudi Arabian society, and I think that’s a fair distinction up to a point. But if the richest Arab state with all its mineral resources and its number one structural tourism industry (Mecca) can’t figure out how to build a toaster, then basically Arabs are just inferior to Pakistanis.
No doubt, the Arabs in the Saudi kingdom are not known for their industriousness, but they have the money to buy nuclear know-how and there are surely a few Arabs in the world, whether from the Peninsula or not, who can learn the science.
I don’t know if Saudi Arabia will go nuclear in the next ten years or not, but they can if they want.
