A few more news articles I enjoyed during Gulf War II:
- “News Under Fire”—Real-time reporting in the fog of war.
- “A Tale of Two Colonies”—The war on terrorism is forcing U.S. involvement with Yemen’s tribal turbulence and Eritrea’s obsessive fear of chaos.
- “What Went Wrong”—Underlying much of the Muslim world’s travail may be a simple lack of freedom.
- “The Battle for Bagdad, Part I”—If this is supposed to be the ultimate video war, how come we’re seeing so many still photographs?
- “Balancing Act”—How Egyptian TV attempts to balance it’s coverage of the war.
- “Powering Up”—If the US did decades ago what some propose we do now, nobody would care much about the oil in the Middle East or beneath the Arctic plains.
- Beseeching the Conqueror for Aid, Protection"—Accustomed to an authoritarian government that controlled much of everyday life, from providing food to jobs, Iraqis assume the Americans will step into the void.
