Cairo speech

[Deckard]

Any thoughts?

I was - mostly - very impressed.

Around the world, he will have generated an awful lot of good will (along with the inevitable bad will) with that speech.

I'm inclined to agree with the Times: he must have said something right if Osama bin Laden, Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran and the Jewish settlers on the West Bank all lined up to denounce it.

Intelligent. Passionate. Humble. Respectful.

Just right, and such a breath of fresh air.
