ARAB WORLD ERUPTS IN FURY: Or so reads the headline of an AP wire on the WaPo site. Read the article and you'll learn that a few thousand Egyptians are now the sum total of the Arab world.

Also note the opening sentence: "Hundreds of thousands of people marched on American embassies in world capitals Thursday to protest the war against Iraq, including a violent clash in Cairo..." Turns out that the hundres of thousands were mainly in Athens, Rome and Milan, cities not known for being part of the Arab world.
