  1. Anyway, that's it from me. If you have been, thanks for listening.
  2. Summary though was a continuation of the attack on notion of clash of civilisations. Is this a losing battle?
  3. He did call Palestine Palestine, though, not the usual adjectival circumlocution.
  4. another workmanlike piece of rhetoric, balancing tough words on settlements and friendship with Arabs while staying within US policy.
  5. Standing ovation and cheering. Seems to have gone down well, but then he's gone and it's all over.
  6. And the Talmud and the Bible
  7. His voice is rising into a rising finale, with quote from the Koran
  8. But the young have the capacity to revision the world
  9. There are some who question the vision, who stand in the way of progress
  10. Now he's into some sort of closing
  11. Apparently he wants teenagers in Kansas to talk to teenagers in Cairo using new technology. But what about, I wonder?
  12. Back on track with references to more scholarships for people like his father
  13. I don't think the audience came to hear lectures about investing in the new economy
  14. Has this lost its steam? He's now on the nature of change and modern world.
  15. Many of those women wear head-scarves, now the norm in Egypt in a way it wasn't a few years ago.
  16. Now he's on women: basically, hijab is ok, but educate your womenfolk. He is well-received - many women students in the audience
  17. What about the ban on other religions there?
  18. Some wishy-washy stuff about bridges between religions - such as King Abdullah's interfaith dialogue.
  19. Obligatory passage on democracy highly theoretical: no names. Seems to be well received.
  20. Elections alone do not make democracy: a dig at Mubarrak? Audience member shouts "We love you"
