The Meaning of a Skull
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Friday's Times carried a
front-page picture of a skull, with a group of Iraqis gathered
around it. The skull was of a political prisoner from Saddam
Hussein's regime, and the grieving Iraqis were relatives who had
exhumed it from a graveyard filled with other victims of
Saddam's torture. Just under the picture was an article about
President Bush vowing that weapons of mass destruction will be
found in Iraq, as he promised.

Distance Arabs
by
Amir Taheri
The Don't-Touch-Saddam
lobby had prophesied that Baghdad would become Stalingrad
1942. Yesterday, Baghdad became Paris after liberation in
1944. It was a day of song and dance and jubilation in a
capital liberated from more than four decades of brutal
tyranny. (Click

We have miles to go in eliminating the Axis
by
Michael A. Ledeen

finishing the first draft of The

Muslim Women and the Politics of Participation
Imagination as Subversion
Part II
by: Azar Nafisi
It
has been said with some justification that the most significant
story in the Thousand and One Nights is the frame story
itself. Although it looks simple and is less fantastic than
some of the stories told by Shahrzad, it is, in fact, the most
magical of them all.

Older
Than The Egyptian Civilization
By:
M. Sadeq Nâzemi-Afshâr
All the
Phenomena considered ordinary and evident today have had a
beginning. Up to a mere hundred years ago, rockets, aircraft and
even automobiles did not exist. We do know about the origins of
thousands of inventions and discoveries, but before that, there
had been times when our language did not exist, our religion was
unknown, there was no such thing as agriculture, and the human
being even did not know how to use fire. (In

industry independently. There were 324 films produced during
this period (1950-1965). By 1965 there were 72 movie theatres in
Tehran and 192 in other provinces.
