Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Arab League Calls for Nuclear Free Middle East

HeadlineMar 25, 2008

Arab leaders are heading to Damascus Saturday for a summit organized by the Arab League. Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa says US-led peace efforts had faltered seriously since a Middle East peace summit in Annapolis, Maryland in November. Moussa also said that the Arab League would continue to push for the entire Middle East to become a zone free from nuclear weapons.

Amr Moussa: “The regional security requires a lot of work and requires, in particular, the establishment of a zone free from nuclear weapons. This should apply to Israel, to Iran, to any other country in the region. This is the basic point in our policy. If the situation remains as it is, I believe that a viable security system, a viable security scheme for the region will be very difficult to achieve.”
