New Yorker piece is good - Mary Anne Weaver always good. >>In my conversation with Sheikh Hamad, he had told me that Qatar's eagerness for close ties with the United States did not mean that he was in complete accord with his economic and military ally. "We've given your country its largest pre- positioning base," he said. "And we did it because America is the world's greatest democracy, not because you have a strong Army. After all, you lost the war in Vietnam. But now, with this enhanced military relationship, we really wish that the American government would speak loudly and clearly to Russia about what's happening in Chechnya. This is of concern to the entire Muslim world." << So much for US imperialism.
