So the new Arab Development Report is out. Notice that the Washington Post hides the criticisms of the US in the text. The headline reflects what they wish to highlight. The UN insisted that they print a note of dissociation, which they had not insisted on before, when criticisms of US were muted. The Bush administration and Thomas Friedman will NOT be bragging about this report to rationalize yet another invasion of a Middle East country. I also found it interesting that people surveyed (not mentioned in this article) were as overwhelmingly opposed to occupation as they were in favor of "freedoms" (the real ones, not Bush's versions).
