CAIRO – The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said her country may miss the chance of reshaping policies in the Middle East if it fails to support democracy in the area due to restrictions of domestic debt, the official Middle East News Agency reported on Wednesday. "We have an opportunity right now in the Middle East and North Africa that I'm not sure we are going to be able to meet, because we don't have the resources to invest in the new democracies in Egypt and Tunisia, to help the transition in Libya, to see what happens in Syria and so much else," Clinton added, when speaking at the National Defence University in Washington on Tuesday. Clinton added that the US should seize the chance if it wishes to keep its key role vowing to exert the effort to show the good will of US power. "We hope the Congress would reconsider minimising the budget," she added. Regarding the situation in Syria, Clinton urged Saudi Arabia and Turkey to call on Syria's President Bashar Al-Assad to step down because they have more influence on the Syrian regime more compared to the US.
