THE ROVING EYE : Fear and loathing in the Cannes debt festival
Asia Times Online Today at 11:00

Following Tunisia’s first fair and free elections on October 27, the Western media responded with a characteristic sense of fear and alarm. For many, it seemed that the ghost of the Islamic menace was back to haunt ‘Western values’ throughout the Arab world.
