The economic imperatives for greater cooperation remain powerful and, predicted a ...

Muslim distrust
2007-11-03 09:09:00 According to the Pew Global Attitudes Project, Muslims hate Westerners more then Westerners hate Muslims, which is hardly surprising to anyone who has at least glanced at the news occasionally: In 2006, the Pew Global Attitudes Project set out to explore these tensions, examining how non-Muslims in the West and elsewhere view Muslims, as well as how Muslims think about people in western nations. The results reveal a disturbingly high level of negativity on both sides, with Muslims and non-Muslims associating a wide array of negative characteristics with one another. There is generally more antagonism in Muslim countries toward the West than vice versa, with Turkey, despite its longstanding ties with the West, now recording the most negative views of Westerners. ... Overall, the Muslim publics are more likely to associate negative traits with Westerners than vice versa. However, there is significant variation among Muslim populations. Turkey emerges as the country with the most nega...

Villagers and Distrust of Government and NGO Development Projects
2007-10-02 01:37:00 October 2, 2007. The following was written about Afghan villagers by a former American Airborne soldier from North Carolina: Local and foreign experts cannot really be blamed for being duped by villagers, who, over many generations, have developed excellent defensive mechanisms to protect themselves from the outside world. For example, villagers willingly accept any and all suggestions for technological change, because they realize that the sooner they accept, the sooner the “developers” will leave. […] The village builds a “mud curtain” around itself for protection against the outside world, which has often come to the village in the past. Sustained relations with the outside world has seldom been pleasant, for outsiders usually come to extract from, not bring anything into, the village. […] As a consequence, most villagers simply cannot believe that central governments, provincial governments, or individual local or foreign technicians want to...

Poll: U.S. Public Distrusts Media
2007-08-10 17:46:00 More than half of Americans say US news organizations are politically biased, inaccurate, and don't care about the people they report on, a poll published Thursday showed. And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news -- roughly one quarter of all Americans -- were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said. More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don't care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased. More than half -- 53 percent -- of Internet users also faulted the news organizations for "failing to stand up for America". moreNo surprise there. Considering that since the last such poll was taken reporters been exposed for making news up and not checking major facts (ala Dan Rather). Add to that the influence of talk radio and the poll results make perfect sense. As for bias, it happens. ...

VA-Sen: VA conservatives distrust Rep. Davis
2007-07-25 16:54:00 Given Sen. John Warner’s non-existent to anemic fundraising, you’d think he’d announce his retirement. But he’s not. There are two possible reasons why: 1) he’s confident that he can quickly raise whatever he needs to defend his seat; or 2) he’s going to retire, but wants to clear the field for his protege, Rep. Tom Davis (who incidentally is raising money at Senate-race levels). This has obviously got the goat of Virginia conservatives, who hate Rep. Davis. His 70 percent lifetime American Conservative Union rating has actually dipped even further lately, 57 percent in 2005, and 56 percent in 2006. Davis is also the 26th least loyal Republican in the House, voting with his party 76.4 percent of the time. Much of this could be positioning for that statewide run in a state that has proven fertile for Democrats in recent years. Or maybe he’s genuinely less crazy than his party’s majority. Either way, don’t expect Virginia conservat...
Faction and fakes, trust and distrust
2007-07-17 19:57:00 The director Peter Kosminsky was once a documentary maker. In 1988 he made a film called Afghantsi, about the Red Army’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. The film won all sorts of awards, but what I loved about it were the sequences cut to a haunting piece of brilliantly chosen Afghan music. I resolved to track it down (pre-Internet=some work involved).Except it wasn’t Afghan. Or Russian. It was Bulgarian, a song called Pritouritze Planinata (iTunes). It remains a spine-tingling piece of music - for me at least - but there was not one atonal note of Afghan or Soviet authenticity to it.Did he break any rules? No. But Kosminsky might as well have chosen any piece of music. As it was he chose - well - a fake.He now works in fiction, and his Bosnia film, Warriors, was excellent. His film on the death of David Kelly, The Government Inspector, was...artful. And yet that tiny fragment of music (which not even have been his choice) means I arrive at what he does uneasy - ready to be tricked...

Americans Distrust Saudi Arabia, Egypt
2007-03-29 09:06:00 Many people in the United States believe Saudi Arabia and Egypt cannot be trusted, according to a poll by McLaughlin & Associates released by the Zionist Organization of America. 65 per cent of respondents think Saudi Arabia is not a reliable ally of the U.S., while 46 per cent have the same view regarding Egypt. Afghanistan has been the main battleground in the war on terrorism. The conflict began in October 2001, after the Taliban regime refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked and crashed four airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people. According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the 19 hijackers who carried out the 9/11 attacks were born in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Egypt. On Mar. 19, U.S. president George W. Bush addressed the nation on the fourth anniversary of the ongoing war in Iraq. Bush said coalition forces in ...
