Last week, President Barack Obama gave a major address at the National Defense University, focusing on issues related to the war on terror. He presented new guidelines for the use of remotely-piloted vehicles (“drones”) against suspected terrorists and he made a renewed attempt to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. These were useful pronouncements that will have an impact on US foreign policy and hopefully the way the US is perceived, especially in the Muslim world, but that was not the principal reason why the president gave the speech.
