:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 3.19.2003 ::

A Guardian UK report:
View from the street
From Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to Fez in Morocco, here is a selection of reactions to the looming war in Iraq. By Amal Ewida
ALSO: From UPI's Think Tanks roundup:
WASHINGTON -- A view from the Arab world: a survey in five countries
By Shibley Telhami
-- On possible war with Iraq
Despite the U.S. claim that it intends to spread democratic values and ideals throughout the world, war with Iraq will bring less democracy in the view of 95 percent of Saudis, 66 percent of Moroccans, 60 percent of Egyptians, 58 percent of Jordanians, and 74 percent of Lebanese.
More than three-fourths of Egyptians, Lebanese, and an overwhelming majority (90 percent) of Moroccans think that war with Iraq will bring less peace in the Middle East. More than half of Jordanians (60 percent) think that war with Iraq will bring less peace in the Middle East.
