	AICGS: ANALYSES : Democracy Promotion in the Middle East and North Africa: Recent Experiences and Further Prospects, By Dr. Ulrich Speck
		However, the association of the Iraq war with democracy promotion has become one of the main obstacles for the "freedom agenda." It has diminished the support for American democracy initiatives at home and abroad, and it has made it easy to dismiss American democracy promotion for those who are hostile to it.
		Promoting democracy abroad is, to be sure, a long-standing goal of American foreign policy and is closely intertwined with the American understanding of its global role.
		The second goal should be to change the political structures in the Middle Eastern countries in order to change the terms of internal political competition - from violent suppression by the autocrats and violent attacks by opposition forces towards a peaceful competition in a democratic framework.

	PM - Unemployment rates worry middle America
		MARK COLVIN: For those of us outside the USA, Iraq may look like the dominant issue in the presidential campaign, but to many American voters, unemployment is shaping up to be a problem for the Bush administration.
		Job creation has been at a snail's pace in the US in recent months and President Bush's Democratic rival John Kerry is running a strong "keep American jobs in America" campaign.
		Section 301 of the Act allows the American President to retaliate against any country found to maintain unfair, unreasonable or discriminatory practices which restrict American exports to their markets.

	The Real Roots of Arab Anti-Americanism
		New American attempts at appeasement would only show radicals in the Middle East that their anti-American strategy has succeeded and is the best way to win concessions from the world's sole superpower.
		First, whatever the extent of Americans' failure to understand the region, Middle Easterners' inability to understand the United States has been greater.
		Yet virtually none of these other peoples evinces anything like the level of anti-American sentiment that exists in the Middle East or commits acts of terrorism against the United States.

	International Socialist Review
		U.S. techniques in Iraq are unmistakably similar to Israeli techniques in the 1967 Occupied Territories because of the active cooperation between Israeli military advisers and the Americans on the ground.
		The U.S. seeks to raise these concerns at the G8 because it wants to ensure that the major capitalist countries of the world are united in understanding that their collective interests lie in subverting any revolutionary tendencies that could emerge in the Middle East.
		It is with this underlying framework that U.S. policy wonks are approaching the post-invasion of Iraq Middle East, with the expressed intention of "draining the swamp" according to one analyst.

	10 things you wish weren't true about the American economy
		Unlike the wage inequality of earlier years, which saw the top pulling away from the middle and the middle pulling away from the bottom, the new wage inequality sees the bottom rising to meet a stagnating middle class while the top pulls away even faster.
		Moreover, white families in the middle income tier worked an average of 3,789 hours a year; for comparable black families, the average was 4,278 hours, or nearly 500 hours a year more to earn the same income.
		In 1998, 18.9 percent of American children, or roughly one in five, lived in poverty.

	The Truth Seeker - The Radical Middle
		The middle of the American political spectrum, totally ignored by the corporate spin machine under the assumption that “to go along to get along” is the political philosophy of choice for most of its listeners, is becoming radicalized over the issue of honesty.
		But in the exact middle of the American heart in this incredible poison: a totally locked down establishment media monster regurgitating the twisted and clumsy lies of sociopathic misanthropes who are butchering and poisoning half the world while hiding behind flags and bibles.
		Another martyr to bogus American justice is Native American inspiration Leonard Peltier, jailed in Leavenworth for more than 30 years now for a crime he didn’t commit.

	NG BBS - Anti-American sentiment
		The European nations are afraid that American invasions of the Middle East serve to further imflame militant Islamic fundamentalism.
		There is a lot of anti-Jewish/Israeli sentiment in Europe, and Muslim immigration to nations such as France tend to strengthen that sentiment, because Muslims tend to view Israel as a puppet of the United States that it uses to pound the Middle East into submission.
		In fact, I think they are perfectly fine with the American presence in Saudi Arabia, because it brings profit to their nation; but, perhaps, the Saud family plans to gain greater support from their people through the withdrawal of American troops from Saudi Arabia.

	Congress Probes Middle Eastern Studies - Campus Watch
		His purpose: to absolve Middle Eastern studies of the charge that they remain under the spell of academe's most virulent critic of American power and policy in the Middle East.
		Even worse, a lot of them subscribe to Edward Said's notion that the proper role of American scholars is to agitate against the alleged excesses of American neo-imperialism, both in the classroom and outside of it.
		Their colleagues in Middle Eastern studies, whom they've never held in particularly high regard anyway, have fouled the nest.

	Pepsi...The Choice of the Angry Generation - (CEO gives middle finger to America!)
		While Indra Nooyi stood at that podium and wagged her finger at the petulant American business community, while she bemoaned American etiquette while abroad she used the vulgar example of "the middle finger" in her analogy.
		And equating the USA to the extended middle finger brings her address down into the partisan mud slinging and ignorant, uncouth behavior that she seems to decry.
		She goes on to regale her captive audience with the story of some obnoxious, drunken American businessmen she witnessed in a Chinese hotel loudly making fun of the bathroom facilities in their rooms.

		Being the middle finger and giving the middle finger to others means getting middle fingered right back - whether it be by Osama bin Laden and his cohorts striking at the heart of the US, American soldiers dying in Iraq or a security psychosis most visible at airports.
		When Americans react to Nooyi, the responsibility lies not with Pepsi but American foreign-policy framers who have given the middle finger to so many around the world that innumerable middle fingers are only pointed toward one country.
		It's also important to note that Nooyi is a woman, and giving someone the "middle finger" is more of a man thing to do - unless the woman happens to be a Madonna or a Britney Spears looking to excite a male crowd at a concert, not an audience of management students.

		The fort was rebuilt and regarrisoned in 1816, but the middle ground was falling apart.

		Last year, there were approximately 10,000 students from the Middle East attending American schools, the survey shows.
		The number of students from the Middle East who are attending colleges in the United States on scholarships has dropped 12 percent this year, mostly because of the delays caused by the new federal visa regulations adopted since the September 11 attacks, according to a new survey.
		Of that number, 600 students, or 6.8 percent, have not been able to return to or start school on time because of visa delays, the survey conducted by the Arab American Institute shows.

		"From this ale you may also draw half so much very good middle ale, and a third part very good small ale." I made a middle ale, and then it was late so I stopped there.

	The Middle of Nowhere - Brits become Western heroes in Once Upon a Time in the Midlands. By David Edelstein
		The strangeness of the everyday middle on the big screen is part of the charm of the British comedy Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (Sony Pictures Classics), which is set in the middle of the UK among the middle class.
		Middleness can be the stuff of American sitcoms, but rarely American movies, unless they're suggesting, like American Beauty (1999), that middleness is a sign of spiritual bankruptcy.
