On the U.S. Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice tour of the Arab region, columnist Hashim Abdulaziz says thought the visit is not the first one but it has occupied a first place in media coverage and political follow-up by both local and international parties. In her present tour of the Middle East Rice is carrying with her many files, beginning from the issue of the Iranian nuclear energy and does not end with a precedence of an American direction refusing the convening of the Arab summit in Sudan in the coming few weeks. There are also the files of developments at the Palestinian Israeli front in the wake of the Palestinian parliamentary elections that changed the political map and ramifications of invasion and occupation of Iraq and the Lebanese Syrian situation. The most eye-catching thing in Rice visit is the attempt of building an alliance against Iran, future of the Middle East settlement and the democratic process in this vital and strategic region of the world.
