Arab activists meet to discuss democracy

By Agence France Presse, November 9, 2005 Arab activists meeting in Bahrain on Tuesday to press for democratic change find themselves caught between battling "dictator" regimes and U.S.-led initiatives for reform. While some activists at a Manama conference insisted that Arab democratic movements are too weak to implement reforms without external help, others warned that the U.S.-sponsored pushes for reform may be meant to serve Washington's aims in the region.
