لا تزال اصداء الصدمة تتردد في العالم العربي منذ القى الرئيس بوش خطابه امام الكنيست في مناسبة احتفال “اسرائيل” بالذكرى الستين لتأسيسها لانه افرط في التعبير عن انبهاره وتعلقه بنموذج الدولة في “اسرائيل” وهو ما لم يتوقعه الذين راهنوا على الرجل وادارته.	The echoes of the shock still reverberating in the Arab World since President Bush delivered his speech before the Knesset on the occasion of celebrating the 60th anniversary of the inauguration of ‘Israel’. For he over expressed his admiration of the state model in ‘Israel’, an attitude that wasn’t expected by those who betted the man and his administration and thought well of both.
