The Global Americana Project aims to translate the classics of American political thought -- Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Susan B. Anthony -- into Arabic, and make them available to the Arab in the street. Amazingly, many of them are not translated or not available. It would be nice if literate Arabs had a better idea of what we think we stand for, wouldn't it? Because right now they think we stand for oil consumption.
And now I'm going to give them some money...
