I was going to find some cool fanart of the Four Horsemen from Good Omens; unfortunately 90% of Good Omens fanart is Crowley/Aziraphale slash.

What is funnier is that he is somewhat related to jews and his aunt or something is living in Israel. Probably because his only impression of the country was that people there suck at driving causing traffic chaos ;D

Ain't gonna happen boss.
Let me elaborate.
Arabs have big families. Almost like Africans -but-
Arabs happen to have jobs like this: Engineer, Doctor, Pathologist, Computer Scientist, Lawyer, etc....
Africa on the other hand: Poacher, Nigerian Fraudster, Starving Guy, Robert Mugabe, Somalian Pirate, Militant Group Member, etc. Unless you open up that McDonalds in Mugabe's back yard - you're not making shit. You might argue that the Nigerian Fraudster has cash - but he'll rob you right after he buys - so you're still out. Tough place.
They'd do better to leave it alone, open a pool hall & a couple restaurants, and plant a mall near it. A net-cafe or two as well. Screw McDonalds.
Just think of the Middle East as rednecks on steroids (seriously man! It's like the same shit over there. ) Betchya some alligator wrasslin' & waffle houses would be a hit over there. See - they're probably pissed because there's not enough mud & swamps down there.

Then Jesus will descend from the sky on his flying walrus proclaiming our doom, and we'll all get the day off.
In other words, they're all way too stressed out about this occupation thing.

Well, you could say that about anything.
If your willing to kill and die for some place, it might as well be awesome, like Candyland or the lost continent of Mu - but these two historically screwed peoples are fighting with one another over a tiny scrap of land with barely anything on it.

Don't you mean the Arabs have the money to hire skilled workers? I'm pretty sure most all the engineers are overseas workers from Britain, Germany, US, etc. Even their military has contracted workers from overseas fixing their jets. And this doesn't even count the massive number of Philipinos doing other work. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I got when last in Saudi Arabia.

Don't they have a lot of KFC's there already..well in Saudi. Odd, that there were no mashed potato side dishes though. So I guess if they aren't potato lovers, then it does make it unlikely for McDonalds to prosper there since it's their fries that make them stand out. Plus McDonalds would have to become more 'kosher', lol.
It's ironic that these oil wealthy countries, don't have the power that you'd expect to go with it. Being easier to pay for outside help than training their own, plus some religious sects holding them backwards, has much to do with it. All that money and can't defeat a little country that they surround is hilarious.
btw, isn't it convenient that the US is now occupying Iraq? Who said it was all about oil...well, not all directly.

Yeah, but Israel is the modern world's Sparta. 3 year conscription for men, and then automatic enlisting in the reserve force and 2 years conscription for women. So technically nearly every adult is a capable soldier. So Isreal only needs 300..... 300 tanks and artillery positions that is. ;D
