Furious and Outraged (an already Angry) Arab

I am just thinking: 1) how the US media--all of them including Nation magazine--dogmatically and submissively follow the contours and orientations of official US foreign policies; 2) how the Tunisian revolt is barely getting any coverage and how the activism of the youth and their use of new media technologies to spread their message is getting no attention WHATSOEVER in the Western press.  If this regime is opposed to the US, this revolt would have been on the front page of US newspapers; 3) Tunisian activists are noticing this.  A leader in the Tiqriz movement talked to As-Safir agreed that the US and French stances toward the events are an insult to the opposition movement (especially the French offer to extend security help to the regime).
