describes in her book they re rugby boys don t you know how she unexpectedly encountered and fell in love with a group of street teenage boys addicted to what the locals call rugby a solvent used for repairing shoes in the philippines which also has the effect if inhaled to temporarily ease hunger and depression and is known to be one of the major causes of addiction to teenagers and even children the book chronicles some of natalie s ups and downs victories and frustrations of dealing with the rugby boys the many mistakes she made and the many lessons she s learned along the way to her each one of the boys was worth god s love and hers as well my biggest piece of advice she writes is start small one of the smallest things we did which had the biggest impact was to learn the names of the boys and to use them whoever god calls you to help i encourage you to treat them as individuals and demonstrate through this that their lives are important constantly remind them that it is god who loves them and that this is the reason for your concern don t expect dramatic change straight away but be patient persevere and pray they re rugby boys is an inspiring read it s thought provoking

though i were no longer a part of the real world there was the house which was my world there was the world of others who also were not free but who were together in prison as a community and there was the world of the free each was a different planet pursuing its own separate course in an indifferent universe what the nobel peace prize did was to draw me once again into the world of other human beings outside the isolated area in which i lived to restore a sense of reality to me this did not happen instantly of course but as the days and months went by and news of reactions to the award came over the airwaves i began to understand the significance of the nobel prize it had made me real once again it had drawn me back into the wider human community and what was more important the nobel prize had drawn the attention of the world to the struggle for democracy and human rights in burma we were not going to be forgotten we are fortunate to be living in an age when social welfare and humanitarian assistance are recognized not only as desirable but necessary i am fortunate to be living in an age when the fate of prisoners of conscience anywhere has become the concern of peoples

heady first days of the arab spring the first omen of what was to come was when on february 18 2011 the egyptian revolution s victory day the people filling tahrir square looked very different than those that had been seen in that very square at the height of the uprising sohrab ahmari in commentary magazine islamist activists with their distinctive salafi style beards and stern expressions were the ones dominating tahrir not smartphone wielding young dissidents in western outfits they listened intently as yusuf al qaradawi the muslim brotherhood s beloved televangelist back in egypt after years spent in exile called on egyptians to liberate occupied al quds arabic for jerusalem wael ghonim the google executive who came to embody the revolution for western audiences was barred from addressing the square that day islamist forces have since scored one triumph after another in egypt the islamist bloc composed of the muslim brotherhood and the salafi al nour party has won overwhelming control of both houses of parliament the rise of islamist parties has been accompanied by ever worsening violence against coptic christians assaults on the israeli embassy and threats to nullify anwar sadat s peace in tunisia the brotherhood linked ennahda party has won a decisive plurality a once tolerated gay and lesbian community has come under severe attack and the country s robust secularist and feminist traditions have been on the retreat amid growing anti western sentiment in libya some rebel forces have traded their nato flags for al qaeda s black banner others have targeted the country s vulnerable black african and amazigh minorities torture is reportedly rampant in the prisons of free libya clearly something went wrong with the arab spring basically what went wrong was the arab liberalism the moral and cultural crisis of which says sohrab ahmari is serious it threatens nothing less than the future of freedom in the middle east yet as daunting as it may seem in light of recent developments there really is no other path than the freedom agenda as far as u s policy should be concerned after the arab spring the u s led order in the region is frayed but it still stands if it is to persist and thrive that order must be decoupled from classical arab authoritarianism our liberal allies in this fight are deeply flawed disengaging from the region and adopting a humble posture however will only leave them more vulnerable to the islamists and to their own worst urges as a number of writers have already suggested the middle east today is desperately in need of an ideological plan similar to the marshall plan deployed in postwar europe but to make the investment worth its while the united states should not hesitate to assume the role of the democratic teacher as it did in europe to shape and articulate a middle east liberalism that is at peace with israel that refrains from anti western rhetoric and prioritizes individual and minority rights over the whims of demagogic mobs there is no other cure for the algiers syndrome sohrab ahmari is an iranian american journalist and nonresident associate research fellow at the henry jackson

syria picture wikimedia commons michael j totten in the january february issue of world affairs the phrase arab spring is a misnomer the political upheavals sweeping tunisia egypt libya and syria are concurrent yet different phenomena and it s premature to assume that any of them let alone all of them will bring their respective countries out of the long arab winter of authoritarian rule in the medium term the number of genuinely liberal democracies to emerge in the arab world is likely to be one or zero i ve been to all three countries that overthrew tyrants last year tunisia egypt and libya and i rented an apartment in lebanon while the government of syria which may well become fourth on the list waged a murder and intimidation campaign against lebanese journalists and elected officials the only things these countries have in common with each other is that they re in turmoil and that they are arab take tunisia and egypt large parts of tunisia appear so westernized at least on the surface that visitors might think they re in greece or even in france if they didn t know better egypt is an ancient and crushingly poor nation ruled as it has been more often than not by a military dictatorship most tunisian women in the cities eschew the headscarf and dress like europeans alcohol is widely available and consumed more by locals than tourists the economy is almost as advanced as those of southern europe and large parts of the cities actually look like southern europe the mediterranean is a recognizable place despite the civilizational boundary that separates its northern and southern shores tunis on the coast has more in common with provence than with its own saharan interior and its vineyards produce wine that is almost as fine imperial france left a powerful imprint on tunisia s cultural dna as did rome long ago the explanation for tunisia s success robert kaplan wrote in the atlantic in 2001 begins with the fact that modern tunisia corresponds roughly to the borders of ancient carthage and of the roman province that replaced it in 146 b c after a third and final war between the two powers africa originally a roman term meant tunisia long before it meant anything else this little wedge of a country in central north africa has been at least partially oriented northward for most of its history ever since egypt is in so many ways the anti tunisia almost every woman who goes out in public wears a headscarf i see more men in just one single day with bruised foreheads acquired by hitting their heads on the floor during prayer than i have seen in all other muslim majority countries combined in almost a decade the country is as far as i can tell the most islamicized place in the world after saudi arabia it used to be oriented more toward the mediterranean as tunisia still is but that was more than a half century ago cairo was once a must see city like paris and rome and vienna but today it s a crowded polluted and grinding third world megacity animated by reactionary and authoritarian politics its liberal epoch is over libya and syria in turn have their own peculiarities but what do these four countries have in common in the middle east almost all secular governments have failed spectacularly in the modern era as a result radical islam looks good on paper to millions the full article is worth a read posted by s r
