As both Bush and Kerry try to position themselves as the man best able to fight the war on terror, many in the Middle East are wondering whether they will be considered allies or enemies in that war.

Some say the recent bombings in Taba were payback against an Egyptian government seen as too friendly to the U.S. Others fault Egypt for allowing Islamic extremism to grow.
