I am looking forward for the release of my new forthcoming book, The Coming Revolution: Struggle for Freedom in the Middle East, in December 2010. A Contribution to the so many efforts, struggles and sufferings of millions of men and women in the Greater Middle East to create the historic change needed for freedom to prevail..

Today I was reading the Chapter on the "Missed Century" in the forthcoming book "The Coming Revolution" on how the Middle East failed to seize freedom as democratic revolutions were sweeping Eastern Europe. "Looking at the battle or freedom from Beirut and from Prague, I saw why it rang there and not here.."


The fall of the Berlin Wall
