Abstract	Many Muslims truly believe that the United States is leading a new "Crusade" (to use President Bush's term) against all Islamic peoples. Many European citizens, including those in Britain, America's closest ally, believe that U.S. unilateral actions in the Middle East and elsewhere have made the world less safe than it was prior to September 11, 2001. The author of this article asserts that opening this nation's students' minds to ideas, attitudes, and opinions of other nations and their citizens gives students an opportunity to view our own society and our actions on the world stage from different points of view. The technology related to this topic is rapidly advancing. Many classroom teachers may have to rely on their students to keep them up-to-date. Teachers can now download various formats for accessing internet-based radio from numerous websites. In this article, the author lists and briefly describes websites, encompassing a range of perspectives, that will give teachers an idea of some of the national broadcasts and points of view available on the internet. Educators who are eager to help students identify and understand multiple points of view about history, government, and contemporary issues, may want to explore the opportunities that internet-based radio provides.
