very unsuccessful attempt to -- i'm not sure if objective was really to undermine the power of the plo or just to tell the israeli public, listen, we are not going to, you know, sit still while our people are being attacked. so they were just targeting individuals that many of them had nothing to do with the plot against the athletes in munich. so what i'm trying to say is that policymakers tend to look for modes of operation that are going to make their constituents, the public feel reassured rather than, you know, thinking about how to actually, you know, contain the threat of terrorism. and one of the problems is that they want, the public looks for solutions, and there is no solution to the problem of terrorism. you can reduce, you know, the intensity of the attacks, you can make it a little less, you know, central at a given point in time, but, you know, humanity had terrorism for centuries. we've never gotten, you know, we've never eliminated it. but the public still l expects policymakers to do it, and this pressure leads them to resort to forceful measures that are, you know, a

the plo started as a secular society. it is, it has made some genes because of the dynamic changes. yes, it is more difficult. that is not a reason not to do things. if they are the right things to do it and if they provide an overall benefit to the society. that is the important part. it is truly moving. israel in the 60 years is remarkable. if you believe in the security, you have to accept the reality that one in the more important things that you can do to ensure that security is to make peace with the palestinians. there are other issues in the region that he said he will get to. i am saying that it would be difficult but if the reward or sufficient, if the justification more enough to persuade the people that it was worth doing it, yet the possibility of getting it done. >> we apologize. we have time for two more questions. idyll many of you that i would give you a question for dick -- i told many of you you get a question so i will let him pick them and you can blame him. what i would just negotiate this. -- >> i will just negotiate this. >> i do not recall that my newspaper

plo-republican or pro-democratic. people measured their afghanistan -- their affiliation and loyalty by the people they carried. in new york, like in small towns, there were at least one republican and one democratic newspaper. now, new york was, of course, different because it was the publishing center of the world. in this atmosphere, publishers were often politicians as well. therma weed, ed forof the new york state republican party was a publisher. the senator from pennsylvania, later secretary of war in the first lincoln administer was a publisher. they might have been politicians first and publishers later. new york, as i say, was different. there were almost 200 daily and weekly newspapers in new york city at the start of the civil war. when craig and i were asked to focus on the "new york times," we took into account there were three major papers. the new york herald, it was the most anti-emancipation. the other was one for encouraging young men to go west, and it was the most progressive, urgently for emancip

when i was writing i decided i needed to get both palestinian authority, plo people to read, and the israeli government to read. and i got both people to read it. they took trouble with it. and they each gave me long memoranda is, corrections and so on. of course, both only corrective to think that they did mine things that were wrong. they just might of the things are against the interest. so after while i had to make my own judgment, which i did. and so this is, this book is the result. now, we don't know what's going to happen with the arab spring. we don't know what's going to happen with the palestinian faithful statehood at the united nations. all the great conflicts of the world, which is so founded on jerusalem, which is so based on the love of jerusalem or fascination of jerusalem which is the holy city, the universal city, all of these things are unknown. and it would be mad to predict, no one predicted the arab spring, for example. i can see, i can see a jerusalem in 50 years it is kind of more or less shared. after all, the peace deal is almost negotiated. both sides know

that this request was unreasonable per se, it was simply that they had no bread or flour or means to plo cure it to give him. they did sell him a note, however, telling him to keep up the good work.

nations who were -- ultimately had no coordination versus the soviet forces under the auspices of the plo and every year it came together to share tactics and strategies. it was not my idea for the meeting a fellow named jack wheeler. i thought it because a great idea. i'm happy we did it and they coordinated the best they could. >> coordination and then move on to another topic. i want to ask you about this. this strikes me as one of the most important things. there is an organization that you -- the apartheid government was involved in all of this. in south africa. they were mill tanly anti-communists and they were funding, this is documented. they were funding some of the anti-communist forces in -- africa. you started an organization called the international freedom foundation. it had your name on it. the head of it. there was a report in news day in 1996 by a pulitzer prize winning reporter that says this organization was funded with military money from the apartheid government and the mission was to resuscitate the image of an apartheid government that was increasingly under public

he discusses his findings with the associated press unit cap plo. >> welcome, daniel yergin, and thank you for doing this. first of all, let me congratulate you on what is quite an achievement, this book of yours, "the quest." the first thing i wanted to ask you is, wanted to ask you what prompted this book. obviously you have your pulitzer prize-winning book about the history of oil. so why this, why now? especially when one of your primary conclusions is that for a while things are really going to change much when it comes to our energy problem. >> there are couple of reasons. one is that big, long trends are not going to change. a lot has changed in the world. the soviet union collapsed, china is the only country that is two chapters in this book. right up until what happened this year with the nuclear accident and the air spring tour both of them with a big impact on energy. so much that happened. the other thing is what i wanted to do is a little more ambitious , as ambitious as i thought that was. this tries to cover the whole energy spectrum and see how these pieces of the toget

the plo started as a secular society. it is, it has made some genes because of the dynamic changes., it is more difficult. that is not a reason not to do things. if they are the right things to do it and if they provide an overall benefit to the society. that is the important part. it is truly moving. 60 years is remarkable. if you believe in the security, you have to accept the reality that one in the more important things that you can do to ensure that security is to make peace with the palestinians. there are other issues in the region that he said he will get to. i am saying that it would be difficult but if the reward or sufficient, if the justification more enough to persuade the people that it was worth doing it, yet the possibility of getting it done. >> we apologize. we have time for two more questions. i told many of you you get a question so i will let him pick them and you can blame him. >> i will just negotiate this. >> i do not recall that my newspaper has denied the system said israel. i was there when you came in of august 2010. it was by september 2011. does mr. oba

the plo started as a secular party separating church and state.ne of the difficulties now is how much it -- how much thomas has made some gains because of the dynamic changes in the society. yes, it is more difficult, but that is not a reason not to do things, because they are more difficult. if they are the right things to do and if they provide an overall benefit to the society, and that is the important point to remember. israel -- well, many of you have been there. some of you are from there. for anyone who has not been there, i strongly encourage you to go. it is moving, inspirational what has been done in the course of 60 years. it is one of the remarkable feats of history. it is a dynamic and changing society. if you believe in the security of israel, you have to except, in my judgment, the reality that one of the more important things to ensure it the security in the future is to make peace with the palestinians because there are other issues in the region, which you said you're going to get to. i am saying that it would be difficult, but

mirror that model legislation that we have in the america's jobs act in order to make unemployment plo insurance available to those who are willing to be entrepreneurs and who want to put in some equity and learning entrepreneural skills. but i do want us to not lose one of the major ways in which we fought poverty in the 1960s and that is to understand, you know, some people have throwing around the term, those are good jobs. secretary solis has charged the department of labor, it is good jobs for everyone. that doesn't mean we'll necessarily change your job but every job deserves to be a good job. so until we get serious about enforcing our labor standards, until we get back to understanding that people have to be treated fairly on the job, we've kind of given up on these kind of notions. we've given up on the idea that some people deserve to be paid fairly. we've decided, we'll train them out of those jobs. you will still have somebody doing that job. so until we get serious about that, the president has made a big investment in getting our enforcement staff back up to where it was
