Hazim Al-Biblawi is a very smart and educated man. To reacquaint myself with his thinking, I just read his: (Arabic) "We and the West: the Era of Confrontation or Convergence" (Dar Ash-Shuruq). He is very analytical and keeps up with the literature in French and English and I was pleased to find a healthy dosage of hostility to Israel in the book. But I am not sure about his political thinking or orientation. It is no exaggeration to maintain that this book is pretty much a Nasserist treatise until the last chapter where he sounds like a Sadatist. Kid you not.
