Dare to Question

Ali a the blog A Free Iraqi has a wonderful analysis of the situation in Iraq now, as well as the Middle East as a whole, centered around the idea of asking questions and giving answers. Its a must read, and its of such depth as to warrant publication in a journal or newspaper.

A small excerpt:

I think one of the main problems in Arab-Muslim communities is that the vast majority from the illiterate to even highly educated people do not ask enough questions. On the other hand, I've noticed (mainly through blogging ) that westerns in general and Americans in particular always have so many questions to ask and rarely settle with one point of view and accept it as the truth.

Read the rest, this is truly a great piece.
