The foreigner's gift

the Americans, the Arabs, and the Iraqis in Iraq

by

An analysis of the turmoil in the Middle East journeys behind the familiar facade of Iraq to argue that troubles in the Arab world can be linked to America's limited understanding of the region, thirst for oil, and need to deal with terrorism.
