Il tenore delle reazioni, tra i giornalisti occidentali e quei poveri disgraziati democratici del medio oriente:
“President Obama’s Speech In Cairo Today Is The Most Important Address Ever Given By An American Leader About The Middle East"
(Scott McLeod, di Time)
"It was actually better than we expected, but not as good as we hoped. (…) His stance on democracy was very general, a bit weak, we hoped for more detail"
(Ayman Nour, dissidente democratico egiziano appena uscito di prigione).
