  • The Syrian Rebellion

    Fouad Ajami, Herbert HerbertBOOKThe Syrian rebellion2012

    In The Syrian Rebellion, Fouad Ajami offers a detailed historical perspective on the current rebellion in Syria. Focusing on the similarities and the differences in skills between former dictator Hafez al-Assad and his successor son, Bashar, Ajami explains how an irresistible force clashed with an immovable object: the regime versus people who conquered fear to challenge a despot of unspeakable cruelty. Although the people at first hoped that Bas…

    Fouad AjamiARTICLEForeign Affairs2005

    THEY QUARRELED with Rafiq Hariri's way of rebuilding Beirut, dismissing his renewal project as an assault on capital's ar chaeological heritage and graceful old city of fabled memory. They wrote off his ambitious economic policy, pointing to vast public debt that accumulated under his stewardship. Many Lebanese saw Hariri as Saudi Arabia's man, never quite taking to swashbuckling way he climbed to heights of power. But on February 14, when former…

  • Iraq and the Arabs' Future

    Fouad AjamiARTICLEForeign Affairs2003Cited by: 3

    THERE SHOULD BE no illusions about the sort of Arab landscape that America is destined to find if, or when, it embarks on a war against the Iraqi regime. There would be no hearts and minds to be won in the Arab world, no public diplomacy that would convince the over whelming majority of Arabs that this war would be a just war. An American expedition in the wake of thwarted UN inspections would be seen by the vast majority of Arabs as an imperial …

  • Under western eyes: The fate of Bosnia

    Fouad Ajami, F Ajami F AjamiARTICLESurvival1999

    The prospect of a tolerable political order in Bosnia-Herzegovina depends in no small measure on the capacity of the predominantly Muslim Bosnians to find a place for themselves at the crossroads of Islam, Europe and Pax Americana. The ideal of a multi-ethnic Bosnia was nearly overwhelmed in the calamity of the 'Greater Serbia' and 'Greater Croatia' projects of the early 1990s. Yet Bosnians should hold onto the secularism that is dominant in thei…

  • The Sorrows of Egypt

    Fouad AjamiARTICLEForeign Affairs1995Cited by: 6

    A generation after that day of October 6,1981, when Anwar al Sadat was struck down, a strange bond has been forged between Sadat and his assassin, Khalid Istanbuli. A place has been made in the coun try's narrative for both men. The history of Egypt, her very identity, is fluid enough to claim the wily ruler who swallowed his pride to deal with Israel and the United States, and also the assassin appalled by the cultural price paid in the bargain.…
