Paul Jay of the Real News Network interviews geopolitical author Adam Hanieh, who points out how US Middle Eastern policy is still based, to a great extent, on a cynical alliance with the dictatorships hiding behind their crowns and robes at the Gulf Cooperation Council. American foreign policy is now highly schizophrenic, trying to relate positively to the the regional pro-Democracy uprising erupting everywhere while at the same time stabbing some of these mass movements in the back in deference to the "Good Ole Boy Network".

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."

Julian Kunnie, Professor of Religious Studies/Classics at the University of Arizona and author of The Cost of Globalization: Dangers to the Earth and Its People
