On Twitter, netizens rammed the US policy on Syria, saying both Obama and Romney were two faces of the same coin.

@abuhatem: Romney & Obama on Syria: Exactly the same.
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin adds:
@ASE: He [Obama] doesn't have different ideas, bc we are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing. #Obama on Romney's plans in #Syria #Debate
Obama's position on Syria? Shared by The New Syria page on Facebook
And The New Syria page on Facebook says:
Looks like #Obama and #Romney care more about #Syria becoming an ‘ally’ to the United States in the long run than actually trying to help the civilians there.

On policymic, Tunisian blogger Ahmed Medien adds:
Monday's debate was not a stellar for both candidates. As someone who might be affected by these same very policies and corporations between U.S. and MENA, I was particularly unimpressed. It is the same talk that we have heard since years
