The Real Arab Street

Newsday has an interesting article by Fareed Zakaria who argues that Islamic extremists are losing the war for the hearts and minds of the Arab world. He points out devastating loss to the Islamic party in the Malasian elections and the economic reforms going on in Jordan and Egypt. Let's hope he's right.

Well maybe the news isn't all good. Peter Brookes argues that Osama is now working on Plan B, an effort to seize power in Saudi Arabia, possibly through peaceful means. The bad thing about this article is that it's actually plausible. It's a good read.
