Obama's Cairo Speech

obama3

If you’ve not had a chance to watch President Obama’s speech in Cairo, I recommend this site from The New York Times. They’ve placed the video of the speech alongside the text, which makes it easy to follow along, and then if you would like to share your reaction in our comments, we would like to know if you think the speech will help change the Muslim and Arab view of the U.S. role in the world? And for some analysis, we turn to former Foreign Service Officer and FPA blogger Mark Dillen, who offers this roundup of the speech, and the FPA’s Egypt blogger Nathan Field examines Egyptian reactions to the speech.
