Description
An American expert on Arab affairs evaluates President Obama's Cairo speech from the Arab perspective and concludes that it is likely to prove much less "historic" than many Western observers tend to believe.--Ed. Since President Obama delivered his speech in Cairo to the Islamic world, it has been sliced and diced by dozens of commentators with reviews ranging from brilliant and a mark of a new beginning to a hypocritical, condescending apologia for America's sins, imagined or real. There have been a number of polls on Arab reaction to President Obama's speech, but really none were needed. Arab audience reaction ranged mostly from very good to excellent. Many were exuberant and wildly excited by the appearance of Obama and the manner in which he presented the speech. As Egyptian writer Tareq Heggy put it, "The president has rock star appeal to the Arab world. It is as if he is a magician. He won their hearts and minds."
