In Egypt, Muhammad el-Sayed Said, deputy director of the Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies, said Bush's call for democracy in the Middle East was legitimate.
But he said Bush had drawn so much mistrust in the region due to Arab perception of Washington's indiscriminate support for Israel or the occupation of Iraq that his call could undermine real democrats in the Middle East.
"Real, genuine democrats in the region, they just simply don't trust Mr Bush. They think that the more that the United States plugs this question of striving for democracy in the region, the more they feel that this is damaging to their cause," he said.
