Israel springing up as a colonial state in the middle of the region didn't help matters either, seeing as how it gave all the militarists every excuse they needed to seize commanding control over the state and suppress liberal and leftist dissent. It's doubtful that the Egyptian military could have become so powerful for instance without the existential threat of Israeli expansionism. Lebanon also had very strong democratic movements, and who knows what could have happened there without Palestinian refugees inevitably drawing them into A/I, on top of all the Cold War divisions going on.

Why yes. Yes it does. Generally militaristic states require a foreign Other to project themselves against.

Being "princely relieved" is the high you get after mouth raping a servant and getting away with it.
