...media are scurrilous and partisan. Marketing spin and advertising extend their influence as never before. A fresh urban-youth subculture has emerged, rude and vibrant, entertainment-fixated and violence-glorifying. Christian conservatives are furiously battling cultural decadence, and one popular sect insists that the end days are nigh. Ferocious anti-immigration sentiment is on the rise. Both major American political parties seem pathetically unable to deal with the looming, urgent issue of the day. Insurgents practicing asymmetrical warfare have, practically overnight, threatened to bring down the political order of Western civilization. And the President has tapped into patriotic rage...
Calderón's act is going over well in Washington too. After 100 days on the job, he is emerging as President George W. Bush's anti-Chávez--a conservative counterweight to a resurgent Latin American left led by Venezuela's gringo-bashing President Hugo Chávez.

This book is a good read if you want to find out what America should have done in the recent past, or if you need to strengthen your anti-Bush arguments for the sake of good old-fashioned friendly debate. It’s short, painless, and actually quite interesting, even for one without any knowledge of politics. If only such a clear and thorough analysis existed before the last election. —Reviewer Joshua...
...Chapelle wrought comic havoc by creating a fictional blind African-American who supports the Klu Klux Klan, unaware of his own blackness. But Farid Smahi is not a comedian, nor is he blind, although he does confound a stereotype: The son of Algerian parents and a longtime victim of anti-immigrant prejudice, Smahi is a candidate in France's forthcoming legislative election - for the anti-immigrant National Front of Jean-Marie...
