The topic is the Middle East, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained, “we’ve gone through a remarkable period in the first several months of this year…in the Middle East and North Africa,” and the president has “some important things to say about how he views the upheaval and how he has approached the U.S. response to the events in the region.” The speech, Carney hinted to reporters, would be “fairly sweeping and comprehensive.” If I were advising the president, I would urge him to say many of the same things that he said in his June 2009 speech in Cairo, this time with some timely references...

When a federal judge contradicts herself, of course. As the Arab League's influence over its own member states wanes, of course they support the creation of an international no-fly zone over Libya. Of course, there's really no such thing as a "Social Security trust fund." Should the United States and Saudi Arabia remain allies? Of course—but Washington should probably re-think the terms of the partnership. Of course, when George W. Bush was president, you couldn't go anywhere in Washington without seeing an anti-war protest. Where have they all gone?

Bush was pushing war for democracy.  Excited neoconservatives promised that a new wave of democratization was about to roll through the Middle East, sweeping out authoritarian and anti-American regimes. Oops. Reports the Washington Times: The most significant finding of the latest report is the decline in freedom in the Middle East, [Arch Puddington] said. Three countries — Jordan, Yemen and Bahrain — were reclassified from “partly free” to “not free,” and freedoms declined in Morocco and Iran. “Freedom House saw the region as a whole as headed slightly in the right direction after 9/11,” he said. “But that has changed.” Not only are countries moving backwards, but America’s friends a...

The Sneha centre for children with special needs is the only centre of its kind for specially challenged expatriate children in Bahrain. Pakistani Mohammed Rafeeq, a welder in Bahrain, could not afford the fees which were more than his salary. The Gulf Daily News notes that his 5-year-old daughter, Iman, has autism and Down Syndrome; she takes “medication everyday” and also, her father notes, “’stands in the sun for several hours without eating, drinking or caring about the heat.’” The Sneha centre is open only for a few hours in the morning (9am - 11am) and one hopes it will make at least a small difference for Iman and her family. The staff at the Sneha centre are volunteers from the Indian ...

(Thanks to a Starbucks card that was a present from last Christmas, I replaced my broken coffee pot gratis.) And now (in Bahrain), you can hear about autism. AME Info reports: Parents of autistic children initiated the ‘A Friendly Talk on Autism’ Campaign in Bahrain with the aim of creating awareness about autism and seeking support from the community. Starbucks Zinj store hosted and participated in the discussion in an effort to educate Starbucks partners on how best to accommodate autistic children in the stores. It’s always good to hear about a business seeking to open its doors to autistic children though (in all honesty) m...
