"Dissects the Bush administration's failure to advance freedom in the Middle East. Lays out a strategy for committed U.S. promotion of democracy, arguing that only development of a more liberal and democratic politics in the Arab world can create a firmer foundation for Arab-American ties and secure U.S. long-term goals"--Provided by publisher.
