“The Genie Is Out of the Bottle”

Noam Chomsky and Al Jazeera’s Marwan Bishara assess changing Arab World

Democracy Now: Massive public protests continue to sweep the Middle East and North Africa in countries including Bahrain, Libya, Yemen and Iran—many being met with violent government crackdowns. We speak to Marwan Bishara, senior political analyst at Al Jazeera English, and MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky. "Perhaps the Arab moment has come," Bishara says, "It’s clear that the genie is out of the bottle. I think change is coming to the Middle East, to the Arab world."

One should ask Aljazeera

If the uprisings spill over to Qatar, would they still cover it with the same fervour? Qatar is not a model democracy after all.

Sounds like this is the first time you guys have seen the program or watched AJ.  don't you have access to the tv channel where you are?

It is the best of channels for information on the Arab world about news of the Arab world (note: Arab world not the Middle East).
