On the scene in Doha

A link for the Fourth Doha Forum.

Shaikh Hamad's remarks are translated on the site. He reiterates his commitment to reform and his counsel to avoid exaggerating either the impact of the Arab-Israeli conflict or the Arab experience with colonialism.
Jordan's Prince Hasan offered impressive comments, but they are not reproduced on the web site. He emphasized the "freedom deficit" in the Arab world and need to give voice to the "silenced" majority.
