China is expected to replace the US very soon as the largest importer of oil from Saudi Arabia, and the Middle East gets 75 per cent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The &#8216;Palestine Papers&#8217; being published this week by al-Jazeera confirm in every detail what many Palestinians have suspected for a long time: their leaders have been collaborating in the most shameful fashion with Israel and the United States. Their grovelling is described in grim detail. The process, though few accepted it at the time, began [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The CIA announced yesterday that it has set up a task force with a rude acronym to assess the damage caused by WikiLeaks. So far, more trouble seems to have been caused by the bare fact of the leak, and the sheer scale of it, than by the content of any of the published cables. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Barack Obama&#8217;s speech in Cairo last week was, of course, addressed as much to Americans as to Cairenes (or for that matter Muslims).
