President Barack Obama presented a humble and conciliatory face of
America to the Islamic world Monday in the first formal interview
since he assumed office, stressing his own Muslim ties and hopes for a
Palestinian state, and avoiding a belligerent tone — even when asked
if America could "live with" an Iranian nuclear weapon.
The interview with the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya Network was a dramatic
piece of public diplomacy aimed at capitalizing on the new American
president's international popularity, though it balanced America's
traditional commitment to Israel, whose security Obama called
"paramount.'
