World History--America vs. the Narrative Reading

World History Students,

The first thing you will do for this assignment is to read the column from today's New York Times entitled "America vs. the Narrative."

After reading, I would like you to respond to ONE of the following question with a comment in the "comments" section below.

1. According to the author, how is this narrative "obscuring the truth" about American foreign policy in the Muslim world?

2. If President Obama made the statements mentioned in the article to the people of the Muslim world, in what ways do you think the governments and people of the region will respond? (Use some info or ideas from the article in your response).

Again, answer only ONE! If you have any questions about posting on the blog, please let Mr. Dees know at jdees@loy.org
