On May 5, 2009, Senator Bob Graham, two-term Governor of Florida, US Senate member for 18 years, and former Belfer Center Senior Fellow,  gave a talk  called “From 9/11 to Obama: US Relations with the Muslim World” at the Dubai School of Government. In his talk, Senator Graham discussed the nature of US relations with the Arab world in the Obama Era, a relationship, he said, that would now be marked with pragmatism, hope, and mutual respect.
