Who speaks for Arab public opinion?

The New York Times today decided that it is time to represent Arab public opinion.  So they decided to publish a piece by Prince Al-Walid Bin Talal.  This after weeks of deciding that Elliott Abrams is the best spokesperson for Arab public opinion.  Edward Said in Orientalism was right: they cant speak for themselves and they can't represent themselves.  They have to be represented--by Zionists.
