in cairo he perhaps set the bar too high.ne very much in concrete terms since then. to follow up on the speech. and in the muslim world they're looking at the middle east peace process. they find not a lot of change from their perspective in the american policy. they think the palestinian policy are not getting a better break under obama than they did with previous presidents. they're not entirely convinced he's following through the on the magazine. i think he will find more skepticism now than back in cairo. >> how much of the skepticism comes from the fact that he's added more troops on the ground in afghanistan. >> the troops on the ground. and the fact that no progress has been made. i mean, it's one thing to put more troops on the ground, but if you can show progress at the lives of afghans has improved as a result of these troops on the ground, they may convince people that it's a good idea. if you're in indonesia, you're wondering what was the speech about then. >> what was it about? can you turn words into action whi
