This article discusses demonstrations in Saudi Arabia over the Middle East peace process; some international observers are surprised by these demonstrations because they include women and Saudis are usually politically passive. Issues include the media coverage of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, the Saudis' identification with the Palestinians, and the effective use of Arab propaganda.

Article Abstract:

The domestic failures of Arab states, the collapse of Israel's attempt to destroy Hezbollah and the US debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan have emboldened Iran.
