President Obama should stick to his message of outreach to Muslims - David Ignatius

The presidency of Barack Obama is becoming tangled, inexorably, in the spider web of terrorism. "We are at war against al-Qaeda," Obama said last week, "and we will do whatever it takes to defeat them."

Obama has no choice but to fight this battle aggressively -- in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and other fronts that will emerge. But to be effective in war, Obama needs to be faithful to his ambition to be a peacemaker and agent of change. This was what got him elected -- and raised hopes around the world that he represented something new.

To remind myself of Obama's core message, I have been re-reading the speech he gave last June at Cairo University.
