> Major changes have recently taken place in our world, and are
> continuing.  The future now has even more ominous prospects than we
> thought before.  Historic conflicts from Palestine to Kashmir to
> Afghanistan are exploding; while growing tensions from Algeria to
> Egypt to Saudi Arabia are escalating.  In the U.S. -- prominently
> now known as the "world's only superpower" -- a serious turn toward
> unilateralism and militarism continues with no end now in sight.
>
> We have been independently publishing MID-EAST REALITIES for some
> years now, as well as showing MER-TV weekly on cable channels in
> Washington, D.C.   Now we also need to make changes that can make it
> possible for MER to not only continue but to continually expand both
> in content and impact.
>
> What we now want to do is to affiliate MER with a university,
> possibly with more than one in Europe, in the U.S, and maybe in the
> region.  This could be a a major opportunity making it possible to
> bring independent and expert writers, academics, and students
> together in new ways.  And working together using the Internet we
> would then begin a series of unique special reports and regular
> broadcast programs.
>
> There has hardly been such a crucial historical time; and thanks to
> computers and the internet we also now have the a new important
> means.
>
> If you are a professor, a graduate student, or are otherwise
> involved at a university and are interested in these possibilities
> please email to MER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with information about yourself
> and your university; AND please then call today or tomorrow to MER
> at 202 362-5266 to establish contact and for an initial discussion.
