...point I am trying to make here is that none of the Arab leaders care about Arabism, neither the Kuwaiti government nor the Iraqi president. Arabism is only rooted in the Arab masses. It is exploited by their authoritarian dictators to manipulate the people for their own sake. Dear Bader, you fell in the same trap Saddam Hussein planted for the Arabs as your fellow Palestinians did. Saddam tried to manipulate the Arab masses by claiming that he was fighting for the Pan-Arab cause--equality between the Arabs and the freedom of the Palestinians.

...ARAB. Henceforth, I refuse to be ambiguously labeled by my race. I refuse to be associated with some dubious perception of an inconceivable, quixotic Pan-Arabism which transcends nationality. I am a Kuwaiti, not an Arab. As such, I refuse to sacrifice my own cause for the sake of the Palestinians who have been the founding, immaleable basis of Arab nationalism.

...provocative prelate also has Roman Catholics fuming. A task force in his Newark diocese has just declared that Catholicism's view of women is "so insulting, so retrograde that we can respond only by saying that women should, for the sake of their own humanity, leave that communion." Spong handpicked the panel, and offers no particular criticism of its assertions, though he says he might have employed milder language. Newark's Catholic Archbishop, Theodore McCarrick, has decried the "offensive attacks" on Catholicism...

...bicentennial celebrations are not all musical. The British, for example, are staging a weekend of billiards tournaments to commemorate Mozart's fondness for planning carom shots while he composed music, and vice versa. Japanese entrepreneurs have already started selling Mozart dolls, Mozart watches, even Mozart sake manufactured to the strains of Mozart's music. "Mozart is suitable because it is gentle and smooth, not peculiar or chaotic," says the distiller. Mozart tours are selling well, and France is operating a Mozart train to several cities that the composer visited. The Austrians have put Mozart's picture on their...
