An excellent commentary by Zogby who has been involved in polling Arab public opinion for the last 25-30 years. Must watch.
The New America Foundation's Middle East Task Force invites you to join a very timely conversation with Dr. James Zogby, building on themes explored in his new book, Arab Voices: What They Are Saying to Us, and Why it Matters.
The book brings into stark relief the myths, assumptions, and biases that hold us back from understanding the people of the Arab and Muslim worlds. It debuts a brand new, comprehensive poll, bringing numbers to life that allow us to base policy and perception on the real world, rather than on a conjured reality. Coming at an especially momentous time of change in the region, the discussion with Dr. Zogby will also speak to the recent overthrow of American-supported regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, the continuing unrest and clamoring for change in countries including Libya, Bahrain, and Yemen, and how U.S. public diplomacy must react to the ever-shifting realities of a changing regional equilibrium.
