Why Iraqis, Afghans, Palestinians, and Others Might Be Nervous About President Obama By Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now! John Pilger, Mahmood Mamdani, Raed Jarrar, Tariq Ali, Laura Carlsen, and more on Obama's troubling foreign policy ideas. Read more »   The United States and the rest of the world dodged a major bullet with John McCain's lost presidential bid. But what have we gained instead? As the euphoria of Barack Obama's historic victory wears off, there is no time to waste in asking critical questions about his plans for Iraq, Afghanistan, and the so-called "war on terror." Fortunately, some people are already doing this. This week on Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez brought in voices from across the globe to probe the question of what Obama's foreign policy goals will be, reminding us that, at the same time that so much of the country was jubilantly celebrating his big win, in Afghanistan, more families were mourning the loss of loved ones hit by U.S. airstrikes. Now, rumor has it Secretary of Defense Robert Gates may have a role in an Obama administration. As Obama prepares to become commander-in-chief, be sure to visit AlterNet's War on Iraq section, where we will continue to keep a close watch on Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond.

CBS Evening News with Katie Couric E-Mail Alert

Advertisement Hi everyone. I hope you had a great week.   It's certainly been a momentous past few days for our country. Today, Barack Obama held his first press conference as President-elect, and said we are facing "the greatest economic challenge of our lifetime." Chip Reid will take a close look at how Mr. Obama handled the press conference – and have the latest on his transition to power. Also, Bob Schieffer and Anthony Mason will join us from Washington to provide some analysis.   The economic news keeps getting worse. The government reported today that unemployment is at a 14-year high of 6.5 percent. Last month, another 240,000 jobs disappeared.  On top of that, both Ford and GM reported major losses. Anthony Mason also reports on the slumping economy and Cynthia Bowers explains what's going on with the imploding American auto industry.   But even as job losses soar, there are some fields of work that are virtually recession-proof. Mark Strassmann looks at where you can find a job…in some industries that are growing, not shrinking.   Finally tonight: Strike up the band! For this week's Assignment America, we'll show you a fearless marching band … that sees no obstacles.   See you tonight!   Katie Couric CouricandCo@cbs.com   CBS Evening News  |  The Early Show  |  48 Hours  |  60 Minutes  |  CBS Sunday Morning  |  Face The Nation  |  Up To The Minute U.S.  |  World  |  Politics  |  Sci-Tech  |  Health  |  Entertainment  |  Business  |  Sports  |  Strange  |  Travel  |  Opinion  |  Blogs Videos  |  In-Depth & Photos  |  Puzzles & Toons  |  Mobile Services  |  E-Mail Services  |  RSS Feeds  |  Podcasts Help  |  Advertise  |  Terms Of Service  |  Privacy Statement To unsubscribe or change your subscription options, click here.
