Somebody was asking me the other day - President Bush is now talking about freedom for the Arab world. I say, well, that's great. I was talking about that fifty years ago.

I have great respect for President Bush, Secretary Powell and Secretary Ridge.

President Bush in his inaugural address talked about bringing freedom to countries that don't have it. He didn't specify how.

Al Jazeera is known in the Arab world as the voice of freedom of expression.

Obama has succeeded in descending even below George W. Bush in approval in the Arab world. It's minuscule, few percent.

It's not for the president to determine the arrangements between Israel and the Palestinians, and the Arab world, but to be the bridge between opinions and to facilitate dialogue and understanding.
