#1 ...a hall filled with Muslim intellectuals

Must've been tough to get a cab down there for a couple of hours...

#2 Wow. I am surprised. Of course, I would be outright shocked if this was not an election year -- perhaps Clinton realizes that pandering to foreign audiences at the expense of a Republican administration right now will be dimly viewed by a significant number of potential Democratic voters.

Here is the Web site for the forum. I can't find a transcript yet, but the Multimedia section suggests that they might eventually post it there.

#3 I'm in shock... it's a pleasant sort of shock... but still shock.

#4 --The administration shouldn't be too proud to ask for the help it needs from Clinton - who clearly misses the buzz and wants to serve.--

Legacy issues and Evita as pres.

#5 And he's being praised for what other presidents until Carter did??? Stop criticism at the shore?

Bet they loved that message, I would have bombed you, too.

#6 Speaking for myself, this does little, if anything, to atone for all that has transpired as a result of his feckless foreign policy and his cavalier attitude toward our enemies. I have little doubt that a reason, but probably not the reason for this speech is to try to salvage his "legacy". Well, it's too late for that. Sure, Clinton is saying what needs to be said, but there is no political price for him to pay by doing so now, as opposed to saying it while he was in office.

"Brave stands", indeed.
