How will President Bush be received in Egypt, which is the last stop in his Middle East tour? Judging from this editorial from Egypt’s Al Gomhuria [The Republic], it may not be the warmest. And as was the case with yesterday’s Kuwaiti translation [George Bush’s Final Visit: ‘History is Ruthless to Losers’], the fall of Saddam is not seen as an improvement of the situation.
“For the sake of Israel, he launched racist bloody wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and put Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan on the road to division and disintegration. He also sought harm to other Arab nations in an effort to weaken Arab unity; Arab unity that lost its eastern wing after the fall of Baghdad.”

President Bush landed yesterday in Tel-Aviv to receive a flood of thanks and appreciation (in Hebrew) from Israelis for everything he’s done for them. What he has done for Israel surpasses the acts of all former U.S. presidents. Since the onset of Arab-Israeli hostilities after he entered the White House, he has ignored the commitments of all of his predecessors, which were put in place to maintain room to maneuver within the Arab world to protect the web of U.S. interests in the region.
President Bush has flouted all past U.S. reservations about the conflict and has given Israel his unreserved support. For the sake of Israel, he launched racist bloody wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and put Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan on the road to division and disintegration. He also sought harm to other Arab nations in an effort to weaken Arab unity; Arab unity that lost its eastern wing after the fall of Baghdad.
