I don't really feel like saying *much* about this stuff. I'm not sure what we should have done differently, beyond being careful who we're supporting.

But I felt like sharing some web sites with perspectives the mass media don't often have in the US.

Here is the site of Ali Abunimah, a Chicago researcher who writes articles and letters regarding how the media portrays events relating to the Middle East.
He includes links to many other sources of information.

A site with many articles and a discussion board
http://www.middleeast.org/mernew.htm

The American Arab Anti Discrimination Committee:

Another site with many articles:
http://mideastnews.com/

An online magazine with many articles on current events, foreign policy, culture, etc. Currently it has a huge amount of material on the Afghan war and the terrorism crisis.
