President Barack Obama has extended the hand of engagement to the Muslim and Arab world, while warning Israel against new settlements in occupied Palestine and hedging his bets with remote drone strikes against Al‐Qaida and the Taliban in Pakistan. The new CIA director, a military historian and the Somali‐born feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali assess his strategy.
