- Thomas L. Friedman According to Cairo University professor Mohamed Kamel, this is the first "Arab-American war." This is not about Arabs and Israelis. This is about America getting inside the Arab world - not just with its power or culture, but with its ideals. It is a war for what America stands for. "If it backfires," Mr. Kamel concluded, "if you don't deliver, it will really have a big impact. People will not just say your policies are bad, but that your ideas are a fake, you don't really believe them or you don't know how to implement them." (New York Times)
