New Poll

"Doha, Qatar, March 16, 2009: A majority of Arabs believe that Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt were wrong to boycott a summit on Gaza, hosted by Qatar last January and many say a new “Cold War” has broken out in the region, according to the latest opinion poll commissioned by the Doha Debates. Fifty-five percent of those questioned across the Arab world said the three countries should have attended the Doha meeting. In Qatar 87% called the decision "incorrect". Jordanians also joined in the criticism – with 59% of them opposing their own government's decision to stay away...More than half (59%) of those polled are still opposed to the
idea of recognizing Israel." (thanks Patrick--no link)
