EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT Hosni Mubarak tried twice last year to stage a democratic election that would impress the Bush administration as credible without risking his hold on power.

The West — specifically, the European West — stands aghast at Islam’s violent reaction to its comedic caricature of the Prophet and ponders: Shall we who enshrine our sacred rights to human expression suffer these cultural indignities and blatant intimidations designed to ultimately extinguish “our rights?” This is outrageous and morally repugnant to cower before a medieval culture that treats ..

By invading Iraq, the Bush administration created a self-fulfilling prophecy: Iraq has now replaced Afghanistan as a magnet, a training ground and an operational base for jihadist terrorists, with plenty of American ta..

CAIRO, Egypt -- While America’s weary eyes are focused on the war in Iraq, this potentially rich country at the center of the Arab world may be taking a completely different path to development and democracy.

I’ve spent 10 days here looking intensively into the "new Egypt" after last fall’s upheaval elections, and it seems to me that the country is going through a slow-motion, evolu..

Egypt had the world’s attention in 2005.
