The Brotherhood bogeyman
COMMENT
The popularity of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is credited to its network of social and medical services for poorer sectors in the society.













The Americans are more concerned about the US economy than even Iraq and the problem is that the nation does not have a money problem, only a values and priorities problem.

That is the big question in Washington now after the Sept 11 terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon.

Reports that top officials in the Bush administration will meet today to discuss US policy towards Iran, including possible efforts to overthrow its government, mark a major advance in the campaign by neo-conservatives in and out of the administration.


A day after George Bush proclaimed victory in the war against Iraq, the war between the Pentagon and the State Department seemed to be raging as furiously as ever.

After having their way with the war on Iraq, the US right-wingers are out to institutionalise their victories over the moderate and liberal internationalists; their latest target: the US State Department.
