But after billions of dollars and almost a decade of fighting in the Middle East, will we miss the boat again? Walid Phares, Fox News terrorism and Middle East expert and a specialist in global strategies, argues that a race for control of the Middle East is on. Yet not a failure of imagination, but rather, of education has left Americans without essential information on the real roots of the rising threat. In fact, the West ignores the wide and disparate forces within the Muslim world--including a brotherhood against democracy that is fighting to bring the region under totalitarian control--and crucially underestimates the determined generation of youth feverishly waging a grassroots revolution toward democracy and human rights.-- From publisher description. 650 0 Democracy|zMiddle East. 650 0 Jihad. 650 0 Islam and politics|zMiddle East. 650 0 Democracy|zAfrica, North. 650 0 Islam and politics|zAfrica, North. 651 0 Middle East|xPolitics and government|y1979- 651 0 Africa, North|xPolitics and government|y21st century. 945 9alam|bb1907941|ci56613733|sN 945 9sacu|bb2499492|ci57645293|o1|sN 945 coron|bb1245282|ci97163781|q!|sN
