you belong to the school of foreign policy realists that's what they say. and your public come up with a career stretching across five american expert ministrations so we'd like to discuss several foreign policy issues with you and your view what are the consequences for the u.s. middle east policy after the toppling of mubarak in egypt and ben ali in tunisia you know one is always caught off guard by revolutions. because there are a surprise if there were a surprise to president ben ali and to president mubarak it's hardly unusual or be a surprise to the united states. the instabilities in the region are of course obvious and have been for a long time the question is can they be handled can it be dealt with. in a thoughtful sensible way or does it have to involve.

unrest and violence and i think. we have to wait and see so far the egyptian crisis has been managed i think quite relevant to actually armies behaved i think very well leave their repressing the demonstrations nor encourage. its changes coming to the region but that was that was inevitable as the old leaders. past similar scenes so i think we need to be careful but i'm not committing fundamentally fundamentally our policy should change in our policy is the development of open societies cooperativeness and progressive development for all the countries of the region and it's always been part of iraq president obama has started withdrawing troops from iraq once all the forces including security

personnel leave the country in your view is there a danger of iraq slipping back into the civil war i think iraq is in or is in a prepare precarious state there is still in fact forming a government months after an election to do so there are sharp divisions inside the country. and it's hard to say exactly how they will develop i would be more comfortable. with a somewhat longer american presence so that they would be more inclined to solve their problems by discourse rather than strength but we'll have to wait and see and you don't think that. the danger is there oh i think the danger is there i think there are still still many forces tending to pull the country aside indeed one of the reasons for the strength of the

dictatorship was to hold the country together but i am hopeful that people will see the benefits of compromising their differences rather than insist upon them and destroying the state do you think that the need to mission in afghanistan is doomed just like the britons failed in the nineteenth century in the soviet union just two years ago no i don't think so because i think we are the united states is there for a different reason which is not to control afghanistan but to make sure that al-qaeda or other terrorist bad don't use afghanistan as a base from which to attack us you anybody else so yeah our our goal is much more limited and i think they're for. one can have more optimism than one did

at the previous occupants of afghanistan you yourself i think have been saying that the term war on terror. was a compromise that has indeed been compromised how does that marry with the you know with the terrorism threat is not going anywhere where terrorism threat is one thing a war is another and terrorism is a technique of combat it is not you can't make war on a technique so i think war on carers was designed to motivate people for a maximum effort terrorist something that we all have to deal with and i'm going to have to for a long period of time it's in part a product of the modern age like television like radio people are now politicized

by issues that they didn't care about before because they didn't know about and so i think it's a long term struggle against extremists who want to destroy a civilization that they can't cope with it seems that there is no progress in stopping the iranian nuclear program in your view what are the chances that the united states may resort to the military option i think there is still the possibility to avoid a confrontation. i think iran is a case that relative related to the reason that i'm here and that is cooperation between the united states and russia are not whole nuclear fuel cycle. iran has every right. to have nuclear

power but does not have the right to build nuclear weapons and i think. the extent to which we can cooperate to induce iran to take the opportunities that are available and that is nuclear fuel for russia and return the nuclear fuel not insist on enriching its own uranium or doing things like that. and i wouldn't rule out that. that we would be successful how much is you know is this the opinion shared in the united states i don't think i'm alone i'm not sure but i don't think there's any eagerness. to deal with iran by force and i think the extent the increasing degree of cooperation between the united states to russia on this issue will have a big impact. on iran and what it decides to do but there is also quite strong

a mood within the government of israel and sort of you know they support and it's hot on iran well israel has what it considers an existential problem with iran but i think if we can deal with the nuclear problem. then israel will be reassured that what is your assessment has the recent with russia and asked by the obama administration to years ago brought any serious results it's not what could be the reasons i was a little disappointed for a year or so i am now encouraged i think now that we're beginning on a much more positive course. both sides have ratified the new start treaty and that is. a major step forward in terms of renewing a cooperative sense the. nuclear cooperation agreement the one twenty three

agreement as we call it is now in force and i think the the the the warmth between the two and the progress we've made together with respect to iran for example and i think even on afghanistan there is a sense that we both know that we have a common problem there common of the export of the export of heroin so all those things are. are leading and i i feel good about the reset now why were you disappointed then did you feel that those two little happening yes yes i thought that i thought the language of reset was good but but there didn't seem to be much follow through for a time and now it just took time to catch more but now i feel very good about since he will already mentioned start what is its political impact on the u.s. russia relations i think what it really does is that is continue

the framework that we've built up really over fifty years of how to talk and how to deal. with the military nuclear issue that if it continues that process and now we can look at ways we still possess over ninety percent of the world's nuclear weapons so we need to work together to ensure that those weapons are never never need be used and that is to increase the stability of the nuclear though so whatever the problem between us there is no incentive. to use them on i think now the way it's clear for us to sit down and have that kind of discussion there's still there's so many nuclear weapons out there but it's not just a matter of numbers it's doing the kinds of things that ensure that those weapons are never going to be used and that take that'll take a lot more discussion goshi ation thoughtfulness on both sides. but i'm sure we can

make progress now that we've laid the groundwork as the scowcroft thank you very much for this interview you're very welcome.

the other thought on your watch that. no never do away losses there's always work that story their best of seven series against scott meaning no other option for the room nights but when you know cold night in the third game ever it was the biggest there is get off to a better start and serve a night even the great kid. herships helpless against marty has been handle was making it one meal here spark out geared up to all members time to shine no for the other goalie rather one it stops even barranca first slap shot but the second one is even more powerful spark that equalizing just seconds from the first intermission one one scar was quick to restore their lead after the break and it in style better proof of finishing his teammates effort here however as they say it's not over till it's over stephanie discourse to bring the one crawled back to life two two nevertheless still we're still in control and probably to believe again on

power play until i'm boot creek two. and it turned out to be the decider with nixon and again a living twice more in the third period this of the final score five to three nil in the series meaning scar just one win away from the western conference semifinals . actually sports are didn't even make a show old we've got a scar still have to improve we have some aspects of the game which needs to be fine here and we can surely do even better. not over yet we shouldn't think forward until the job is done we have just talked about it with my teammates we need to win one more game to decide the serious and we'll do our best to make it happen as soon as possible give up their own whites have never been that type. roberts well known r.t. . moving to football and in the english premier league liverpool can strengthen their claims for your play with must now and then it always is the sixth place red
