Obama vows to get ME talks back on track

Al l’, London/Jerusalem
President Barack Obama voiced confidence TUesday that the United States can help get serious Middle East peace talks back on track, as he prepared for his maiden trip to the region.
In an interview with the BBC before heading to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Europe, the US leader added that he hoped for progress in direct talks with Iran by the end of this year.
More broadly, he said a keynote speech in Cairo would aim to broach relations between the West and the Muslim world, and to overcome some mutual misapprehensions eight years after the September 11 attacks.
"No one speech is going to solve every problem," he said, but added his trip was "an opportunity for us to get both sides to listen to each other a little bit more and then hopefully learn something."
On Middle East peace talks, he said the United States believes it is "going to be able to get serious negotiations back on track" between Israel and the Palestinians. "Not only is it in the interest of the Palestinian people to have a state, It's in the interest of the Israeli people to stabilise the situation there,” he added.
Obama's remarks come as he prepares to embark late TUesday on a visit to the Middle East, where he is scheduled on 'Thursday to make a high-profile speech at a university in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
"What we want to do is open a dialogue," said Obama.
While not apologising for US policy under his predecessor George W. Bush, he said that in the wake of 9/11, Washington had sometimes not been "careful to distin -guish our very real need to hunt down extremists ... and broader policy differences or cultural differences that exist."
"There are misapprehensions on the part of the West about the Muslim world, and obviously there's some big misapprehensions about the Muslim world when it comes to those of us in the West," he added.
On Iran, the US president told the BBC that he hopes for progress in contacts with the Islamic republic this year.
"What I have said is that it is in the
world's interests for Iran to set aside ambitions for a nuclear weapon," he said, adding that this could best be achieved "through tough direct diplomacy".
"Although I don't want to put artificial timetables on that process, we do want to make sure that, by the end of this year, we've actually seen a serious process move forward," he said.
In other comments Obama said the United States must lead by example — including closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp on Cuba, which has fuelled much anger in the Muslim world.
I think the tiling that we can do, most importantly, is serve as a good role model And that s why, for example, .. closing Guantanamo, from my perspective, as difficult as it is, is important," he said.
But he also warned that Washington could not force other countries to accept its values.
"The danger I think is when the United States or any country thinks that we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture," he told the broadcaster.
