WELL-DESERVED GREATER ROLE FOR NED: The U.S. government's new democracy-promotion plan for the Middle East has made a good first move in selecting a worthy organization as its spearhead - the National Endowment for Democracy, which has supported indigenous democratic movements in their early stage in places from Poland to South Africa, will receive a doubled appropriation this year, with the additional money being used to support the activities of dissidents, women's rights campaigners, human rights groups, press organizations, and new political parties.
I can't think of a worthier cause, or a more trustworthy organization to give a prominent role in it to.
