| - | I just would want the world to understand, | 0:00 |
| to place Guantanamo | 0:03 | |
| in the larger issue of US relations with the Muslim world. | 0:06 | |
| That the Muslim world is huge, is complex, and is diverse. | 0:12 | |
| And it's I think the height of folly | 0:19 | |
| to view the Muslim world | 0:22 | |
| from the perspective of terrorism only. | 0:25 | |
| It's shortsighted. | 0:29 | |
| In the long run, it's harmful to our national interest. | 0:31 | |
| And we... If we lost that generation, | 0:36 | |
| or I call it the Guantanamo generation, | 0:39 | |
| we need to reach out to rising generations of youth, | 0:43 | |
| the youth that fuel the Arab Spring, | 0:47 | |
| the so-called Arab Spring. | 0:50 | |
| The youth that want freedom, that want entrepreneurship, | 0:52 | |
| that want jobs, that want dignity. | 0:56 | |
| We need to reach out to that generation. | 0:59 | |
| And the more, the longer Guantanamo stays open, | 1:03 | |
| the less able we become, | 1:09 | |
| we are in reaching to these rising generations. | 1:13 | |
| Whether in Pakistan or in Egypt | 1:17 | |
| or in the Balkans or in the Stans in Central Asia, | 1:20 | |
| or in Western countries, | 1:25 | |
| where we have millions and millions of Muslims living. | 1:29 |
