ALMOHET Website: an Egyptian diplomat confirmed that the results of the U.S. elections will not drastically affect its policy toward the Middle East cases, pointing out that the American institutions control the determination of these policies according to their interests despite the different readings of Obama and McCain for the course of events.

The Kuwait News Agency said that: Egypt's former ambassador to the United States, Nabil Fahmy, described the current elections as "historic" because it is the first time that the elected President would be of African origin or that a woman would be a Vice-President, while in case of McCain would win he will be biggest U.S.-heads in age.

Fahmy said, in his speech at a conference organized by the Center of Studies at the American University in Cairo yesterday, about the American elections: that McCainÂ’s look for the future will be determined on the basis of his previous experience; especially that he had been captured during his service in Vietnam also his political experience is better than Obama, while the latterÂ’s experience is based on his political Cooperation with the international community.

He added,relations between Egypt and the United States are governed by close relations and that it will not be directly affected by the outcome of the elections, especially that Egypt has a great and clear role in the progress of the peace process in the region.

For his part, the President of the American Council for International Affairs, William Tok, stressed that many interrelated factors will affect negatively or positively the U.S. elections and one of these most important factors is the financial crisis that devastated the economy of the United States and its entry in the event of recession followed by decline.

Tok warned that there are 220 million American families fear the loss of their jobs and work because of the consequences of this crisis, noting that these families are looking for someone to save them from this crisis.

Tok considered that Barack Obama was clear and explicit since the beginning of his campaign when he said he wants to reduce to the most possible extent from their dependence on oil as a key element of energy in the United States and in turn rely on renewable energy and fossil which has found the acceptance of the U.S. street in the end.

From his side, Jerry Lush the center director Said: "We are approaching the fourth of November as a day of the U.S. elections, which will determine who of the two candidates will win the presidency of America.”

He said the three US-led wars in the era of the republican President George W. Bush are a war in Iraq, Afghanistan and terrorism, pointing out that these wars will have a great impact on the U.S. elections because voters believed that these wars are among the causes of the financial crisis in the country.

He pointed out that John McCain tried to win the support of women by choosing Sarah Balin as candidate for vice president, but his quest was disappointed when Senator Hillary Clinton called on the masses especially women voters to support Obama.
