NOW's report "The Good War?" documents the reaction of the Arab world to the war in Iraq. At the beginning of the war massive protests against the U.S. action took place in the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian towns and cities. The protests were carefully watched, and controlled, by the state security forces. But as correspondent Deborah Amos notes, not all the reaction has been unfavorable. In her report she talks to several influential Egyptian thinkers ... who believe the toppling of Saddam Hussein could lead to democratic change in other Arab countries including Egypt.
