I am a fan of Tariq Ali but everything i find written about Syria or pretty much anywhere in the middle east is written from this American policy perspective. It's really frustrating to read, and makes it hard work to carve out a different interpretation of things. Its hard to even find the raw facts i need - American think tanks just don't think things like class are important!<BR/>So anyway, if you know of any writers, sources, journals or websites (in English...my arabic is pretty limited) could you post up here about it? I'd really appreciate it. Sorry it's a bit intrusive, but your blog is a breath of fresh air!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24861026.post-65385914727813353142007-02-20T01:23:00.000+02:002007-02-20T01:23:00.000+02:00Marxistfromlebanon "...(as if it is to prove the a...Marxistfromlebanon "...(as if it is to prove the arabs were "evil")"<BR/><BR/>Who the hell is saying it proves the arabs were "evil".
