WELL, AFTER 4 EPISODES OF THE GUSHER IN THE GULF, we need a break from that nightmare. TODAY we will shift to the perceptions of the USA from various international perspectives. OUR GUEST is Alma Abdul-Hadi Jadallah. Alma is adjunct faculty and board member of George Mason University's Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. http://icar.gmu.edu/

Alma has a most interesting background – born in Saudi Arabia, grew up in Cairo; lived in Kuwait, Jordan, Europe and now the USA. She seems more than qualified to give us some feedback on how USA foreign policy, empire and economic hegemony is playing out overseas.

We will enjoy music from the canadian group Stars. http://www.youarestars.com
