Mr Egypt’s (an Egyptian scholar)  long  comment on my recent postabout Arab reactions to the US elections.  If some people  think I’m being negative about the results of the US elections, I’m not.  My concern is that Arab reactions to the results are being widely misread in the US.  Its a critical strategic issue to understand the reactions, and I don’t think this is happening so far.  Middle East policy  based on exaggerated  or an  inaccurate sense of  US “soft-power” can be disastrous.
