Awakening

Article Abstract:

This article discusses demonstrations in Saudi Arabia over the Middle East peace process; some international observers are surprised by these demonstrations because they include women and Saudis are usually politically passive. Issues include the media coverage of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, the Saudis' identification with the Palestinians, and the effective use of Arab propaganda.

Arcs and crescents

Article Abstract:

The domestic failures of Arab states, the collapse of Israel's attempt to destroy Hezbollah and the US debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan have emboldened Iran. The longer the Sunni leaders prove unable to resolve vital issues ranging from Palestinian problem to democratization, the more prestige and power the Shi'a crescent will gain.

Article Abstract:
