Ahmet in Tunisia sent me this: "" But in the new Middle East, Arab citizens are increasingly looking for evidence
that U.S. policy matches American values. What will it take to revive American relevance in the
region? First, the next
president must embrace the challenge of Israeli-Arab peace. No other country can
play this role. The United States, staunch ally of Israel and defender of the principles of international
law, is still the only partner that can garner the credibility of both sides."
