President Obama gave his big speech to the Muslim world from Cairo, Egypt today. Like most of his speeches, I didn't watch it. I read the transcript, which you can find here. My initial reaction is that it is a good speech given the audience. Israel will not like it, but maybe some mainstream Muslims will be swayed by the speech. Is it naïve and ignorant? Yes, but consider who he's talking to. It will not work with the Muslims who are already radical, as Iran is already criticizing him for the speech, saying that the "sweet talk" will not sway them. Osama bin Laden is encouraging Muslims to prepare for a "long war" against infidels.
