3. The president's campaign speeches never clearly defined what he meant by civil society in the Iranian and Islamic context. A careful reading of his speeches (and those of his chosen aides) gave the impression that they were really talking about a civilized society (i.e., a peaceful, just and viable society) rather than civic and community associations and committees offering public services and checking governmental excesses.

22. Washington's continued objection to Central Asia's oil and gas pipelines through Iran as well as the intended establishment of the Radio Free Iran and reduced funding for the International Atomic Energy Agency because of its technical assistance to Iran's nuclear energy program should also be considered among new setbacks on bilateral relations.
