Greater Mideast: Trigger for War, or New Development Era
In this, the second installment of EIR’s coverage of the Schiller Institute’s conference in Flörsheim, Germany, Nov. 24-25, we publish presentations from the panel titled, “The Greater Middle East: Trigger for World War III or for the Beginning of a New Era.” As Helga Zepp-LaRouche put it in her opening remarks: “What we propose concretely is an economic development plan for the entire region of Southwest Asia.... Rather than this area becoming the cockpit of the thermonuclear destruction of the planet, we should make it one of the most prosperous and well-developed regions of the world.”
