Marioneten... hoe moet ik marion eten? gebakken of gekookt.
Waarom werd de mens pas op de laaste dag geschapen?
Opdat men hem (wanneer hij te ijdel word) kan zeggen: de mug werd eerder geschapen dan jij.

The Saudi regime may be urging stronger international action in Syria, but it is clearly wary of the recent wave of domestic agitation calling for non-official involvement in the crisis. The Al Saud worry that the anti-reform Saudi clerics behind many of the calls to action are overstepping their bounds—and that the ruling family’s legitimacy and Saudi Arabia’s security could ultimately be at stake
The Syrian crisis has long animated clerical sympathies in the Kingdom. In most cases, clerical statements adhere closely to the official Saudi line on Syria, providing helpful theological cover for Saudi foreign policy. In Friday sermons, on Twitter, and in Facebook posts, the clerics have demonized the Assad regime and the Alawites, expressed solidarity with civilian suffering, and pushed for greater Gulf involvement, to include arming the Syrian opposition.
Regional tensions, Arab Spring worries backdrop for Saudi’s next choice on royal succession
By Associated Press, Published: June 16
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The death of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz on Saturday means that — for the second time in less than a year — the key Western ally must pick an heir to the 88-year-old King Abdullah, who has already outlived two designated successors. Nayef, who was named the king-in-waiting in November, had been out of the country since late May, when he went on a trip described as a “personal vacation” that would include medical tests. He travelled abroad frequently in recent years for tests, but authorities have never given details on any ailments
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE FUTURE?
Until now the successor has been chosen from the sons of King Abdul-Aziz but the deaths of two crown princes mean the Saudi leadership can turn to a younger generation, his grandsons, and put them in positions to groom them as potential rulers. This would mark an important shift in Saudi affairs by acknowledging that the country is moving toward a new era under the stewardship of a generation raised with deeper Western connections and understandings.
It’s still unclear, however, whether Nayef’s death will bring about the shift to put a younger member of the royal family in a traditional role as No. 3 in line for the throne. Among the possible contenders mentioned include King Abdullah’s son Mitab, the head of the National Guard, and Nayef’s son Mohammad, a senior official in the interior ministry.
WHAT ARE THE ISSUES AHEAD FOR SAUDI ARABIA?
Saudi Arabia is the main Arab rival to Iran and is deeply worried about Tehran’s nuclear program. Iran insists it does not seek nuclear weapons, but Saudi officials and their Western allies fear the country could develop a nuclear arsenal and significantly shift the balance of power in the region. One possible outcome could be a regional nuclear arms race with Saudi Arabia also seeking atomic weapons.
Saudi Arabia is also facing Arab Spring-inspired internal pressures for political reforms and greater openness. King Abdullah has pledged billions of dollars to create more state jobs and offer other government-backed programs to try to appease calls for change.
Neighboring Bahrain, meanwhile, has become a central issue for Saudi Arabia since a Shiite-led uprising last year against the ruling Sunni monarchy. Saudi forces led a Gulf military intervention to help prop up the dynasty in the strategic island nation, which is home to the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet. Saudi Arabia is now leading efforts for closer union with the country that would effectively unify key policies such as security and foreign relations. More than 50 people have died in Bahrain’s unrest since February 2011.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has accused Qatar and Saudi Arabia of hatching plots against his government to overthrow the political system of the country.
“Toppling the (political) system of Iraq, not me, is their objective,” Maliki said in an interview with Lebanon-based al-Mayadeen satellite channel which was founded by journalists who left the al-Jazeera news channel.
The Iraqi premier noted that both Arab states are trying to topple his government through financing opposition groups, holding anti-government meetings and inducing that a “tribal system” is governing the country.
Maliki noted that major political posts in the country have been equally distributed between all Iraqi ethnic and religious groups under the constitution.
"Look at your nations and see whether your people have the rights and privileges that Iraqi people have," Maliki asked the Qatari and Saudi authorities.
Both regimes in Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been charged by Baghdad over and over of supporting armed terrorists that target politicians and Shia pilgrims. This has been going on since the US invasion of the country back in 2003.
Sherkoh Abbas, a veteran Syrian Kurdish dissident, called on Israel this week to support the break-up of Syria into a series of federal structures based on the country’s various ethnicities.
Speaking from Washington, Abbas was also critical of US attempts to induce Syrian Kurds to join and work with the main opposition body, the Syrian National Council. Abbas, who heads the Washington- based Kurdistan National Assembly, said that dismantling Syria into ethnic enclaves with a federal administration would serve to “break the link” between Syria and the Iran-led “Shi’a crescent.”
Kurds are the largest ethnic minority population in Syria. They number more than 10 percent of the population, centered in the northeastern provinces of Hasakeh and Qamishli
