The United States is finding it impossible to devise a coherent policy in the Arab world “because the very existence of a resurgent Arab nationalism eliminates a whole range of options for the United States and the Europeans,” said BAR executive editor Glen Ford, at a conference of Socialist Action in Hartford, Connecticut, February 25-26. “They have no viable options. The occupation of Libya may happen, but it is not viable – not in an Arab world in a fever of nationalism. The repercussions would be severe for the United States.”

The conference was part of the run-up to anti-war rallies in New York City and San Francisco on April 9th.
