Feeling disconnected?

Need more proof that the press is drowning in its own crocodile tears? Just pick up an overpriced copy of the Guardian if you cant dial-a-mob in Karachi.

Compare the small demonstrations against the Israel/Hizballah war in Beirut, Cairo, and Tel Aviv with the large ones in Paris and London where the ideology isnt matched by experience and context. Even if they are yelling death to Jews, its still a smaller mob, and frankly you can find people in Beirut who would shout out without a war at a Hizballah family gathering.

(I want you to meet my wife and sister)the fuse is lit!
