and the islamic world, a very intelligent speech a few weeks before barack obama gave his speech in cairo you believe that right now relations between the west and the world of islam, if one can characterize it as such are improving? >> i think they've gone backwards since 2001, but i think that the drive by president obama, starting with a simple statement, we're not at war with islam, and it's shocking in a way that that statement should be seen as such a step forward, but in many muslim majority countries it was. and i think he set off a very interesting debate and a very important conversation. so i think that the approach that the obama administration has started offers huge potential benefits and is immensely necessary. does that mean that's plain sailing, obviously not. >> you and britain have a particular problem because one of the things that has puzzled many people is after the london bombs in the subway, people looked at london and britain and thought wait a minute, these people can't be upset because they don't have democracy, they live in one of the world's most established d

i would say the obama speech in cairo is at least $15 billion. we would have had to spend that kind of money to get that kind of result. the educated, influential pakistani is attune to these kind of messages from america, so we have this great weapon in our arsenal, and he should be used judiciously. clearly, his statement and those of other american leaders, these kind of direct actions are critically important and worth more than billions and billions of dollars. i am not sure if you can measure this in a poll, but from a policy point of view, they are worth pursuing. do we need to worry about pakistan in terms of where public opinion is going in pakistan? yes, i think the administration is coming to the conclusion that is more important than afghanistan. what the pakistan people's think is going to be critically important for american foreign policy for the indefinite future. that is why this has to be from our point of view, not just a onetime effort. that gets us into other issues, but polling provides one window into the attitudes and mind
