what really lowered more or less permanently the level of tension between the united states and great britain as well as canada. and resolved the remaining outstanding problems, most of them, between great britain and the united states and canada. >> professor, we have a couple of counties named after a person named anthony wayne and alexander mccomb. could you comment on their roles, if any, in the war of 1812. >> well, anthony wayne was a revolutionary war hero who died in 1795 or '6 i believe. '6? i live in wayne county, nebraska. i teach at wayne state college in nebraska. we're one of a number of waynes named after the great man. mccomb county undoubtedly was named after the general at plantsburg, who held the position against the invading brit tish -- british force in 1814, although that campaign that turned out a successful naval battle, like the battle of lake erie. this is battle of lake champlain. you say mccomb county. >> named after alexander mccomb. >> and he later -- he got quite a bet of credit. and remained a hero in the post-war era. i want to thank you all. you've been a great audience. great

within iran but there have been reports that sanctions are hurting the iranian community in the united states, canada and sweden and that doesn't help the united states. in terms of promoting u.s. interests, the sanctions have made the cost of iran's nuclear program harder. if they decide to weaponize their program, they have to consider even more damaging sanctions. i do think that sanctions make iran think -- or rethink its policies quite a bit. and potentially cause s fissure within the government where you have guards that are involved in the air yan economy be hurt by sanctions and pressure the supreme leader. also, i think sanctions help contain iran. if iran developed a nuclear weapons capability, it would be in a much weaker state, wouldn't be able to project power in the middle east as well. and sanctions, finally, show other countries who are thinking of violating the nonproliferation regime that there are costs associated. so if iran decides to go nuclear and saudi arabia thinks, well, we should obtain nuclear weapons, it will look at iran and see all the associated costs. and so in that w

[laughter] >> well, like the united states, canada has always been a land of immigrants. united states, you hear lots of critiques of canadian immigration policy. in many cases, from immigrants themselves. the fact of the matter is, notwithstanding, all of the efficiencies of the policy, that immigration has had with immigrants, half have been overwhelmingly successful in canada. -- have been overwhelmingly successful in canada. the energy and hope that immigrants bring to our two countries, i do not think we can really overstate how important that is. you can look immigrants as people who contribute to the economy, but they provide vitality and excitement about our nation that really is unmatched anywhere. there are so few places in the world. in canada, we like to think that we are number one in terms of the ability for someone to come from anywhere and become a full- fledged part of the acute -- of the community. that is a unique experience. we are all living much closer than we realize. this is a tremendous advantage. you go to a country like japan. it is a wonderful

so ironically, the united states was the only belligerent in this war whose independence was not at risk. number three, the militia and the united states and canada played a central role in the war. this is the great militia myth. it has been at least traditionally very popular in canada, and in the united states. canadians want to believe that it was their own that defended against those american invasions. that they didn't need to depend on british regulars or their indian allies. and as a myth, it became very useful once canada became independent, because they felt they didn't have to spend any money on defense, if they got in trouble with their neighbors to the south. all they had to do is call out the militia and whip us again. this myth was also very popular south of the border. we, too, wanted to believe that the great battles were won, not by regulars, but rather by militia, by those hearty frontiersmen who came out of kentucky and ohio and tennessee and won the war for us. now, our militia did play a fairly significant role. at least the land battles were fought principally by regulars and to a lesser extent their indian allies. number f

that not all come to united states, canada, australia, europe, but there is a process of emptying of christians out of the middle is. [inaudible] spent because of the situation, political situation in the middle east. and so as a result, nina, there are questions whether christianity can survive in the middle east. because syria now has some problems and people are worried about the christian population in syria. so after arab spring in egypt, what you have is fear among copts, so anyone, any other western countries, just try to get out of egypt. and, of course, in iraq as a consequence of our liberation of iraq, what you have is attacks on some christians, so they have emigrated. >> professor haddad, is there such a thing as a muslim identity in the u.s.? >> i think there are several muzzle identities. if you come to my class you will see it is there. i have saudi students who have the identity. i have an iranian student who would have a shiite identity. i have a palestinian student who is more secular, but unicom he is muslim secular, if you can think of that. >> what do you mean?

it has been at least traditionally very popular in canada and in the united states. canadians want to believe it was their own that defended against the american invasions and they didn't need to depend on british regulars or their indian allies. as a myth it was useful when canada became independent because they felt they didn't have to spent money if they got in trouble. all they had to do was call out the militia and whip us again. we, too, wanted to believe that the great battles were won not by regulars, but by militia. those hearty frontiers man that won the war for us. now, our militia did play a fairly significant role, but all the major battles at least the land battles were fought principally by regulars and to a lesser extent the indian allies. number four, kentucky rifles were the game changers that won the war. there was not any such thing as a kentucky rifle in those days. there were 4,000 federal weapons manufactured at the federal arsenal at harper's ferry that were rifles. those were distributed to some regular units. most of the rifles were manufactu

this is something i think transcends governments in canada or administrations in the united states. for canada, the united states which is and always will be our closest neighbor, our best friend. i believe american leadership is at all times great and indispensable for the world. i think of the past few years we have done great things together in terms of the response, both through the g-20 and bilaterally through the recession and recovery. we have under your leadership, a successful intervention in libya. it is been a tremendous partnership. >> somebody from the mexican press corps. >> good afternoon. for president calderon, we would like to know what president obama said what would be done to stop the trafficking of weapons. president obama, what plans does your government have in the presidential election process in mexico what was discussed in terms of the interviews with candidates and mexican city, and i would also like to know, for the government of the united states, there is a threat for the country in a sense on weapons, mr. president. weapons have come into the country,

fight for these resources in the not too distant future back two months ago military leaders united states canada russia iceland denmark sweden norway and then one met to discuss security issues around the arctic but shouldn't these nations have the exact opposite approach to disappearing ice in the arctic. why are we looking for more fossil fuels to burn or watching our world melt from fossil fuel induced climate change it howls joins me now he's the deputy campaign director for greenpeace usa and welcome i how are you i'm great at just how insane it is that instead of addressing the dangerous melting of ice in the arctic nations are looking to profit from it well i think it shows the insanity of our political process when you have the military the coast guard the secretary of state all going to talking about climate change and the effects that it's having on the arctic and then the same breath turn around and say oh we're going to go and exploit that and trying to address it and means that something's wrong in the current in our country and we need to really look at how we are producing and usi

addressed issues that you really haven't. >> changing the subject -- [laughter] when both canada and the united statesguess is a question to you, when both canada decide to form a customs union? >> well, i think that's a fairly theoretical question, because i certainly, you know, since we have signed nafta there's obviously been a tremendous growth in trade, immigration and integration of supply chain between our economies. but ice and snow appetite, particularly in the united states to take the economic relationship to any fundamental level like it is today. in terms of things like customs union. so i just don't think that's in the cards, particularly in the context that nafta probably has more to do with the mexican-american relationship and with the american canadian relationship. but nevertheless, i think that's the situation but what we have done with the obama administration is we have beyond the corner initiative, where we are finding ways of avoiding duplicative screening when we crossed the border, where we are finding ways of doing more and more of our screening and security checks on the pe

the united states, britain and canada turn up the most. sweden somewhat less. france, much less. why do they turn up after 1980? could it have something to do with the fact that 600 or 700 million workers were added to the labor force in china and india and that holds down the incomes of people who are in labor? in low incomes, middle income groups? boy, we've certainly seen the destruction here. so it's pretty prima facie case that that's the case. what about the top 1% or the top 5%? why are they doing so well. incidentally, it's not my data. it's data i took from two swedish economists. the economist named sherwin rosen wrote a whole series of papers on the super incomes. and he said -- he attributed to and showed that it was pretty responsible idea that these are people with very high skills. who are they? well, rock stars, athletes. no one complains about their getting high incomes. but i suppose there are people who think that it's wrong for alex rodriguez to make as much money as he does. but he gets it because he's a superstar. then there are surgeons, trial lawyers, even

united states to issues that are important to us. as i say, partly because it is such a smooth and seamless relationship for the most part. that's really the big challenge that canada always faces. it's been a profile challenge in the united states. and occasionally we often will find ourselves on matter that are before congress or before the administration, we find ourselves sometimes getting side swiped. like take the buy america provisions, there will be other things. we'll often get side swiped significantly by poll signatures that have actually nothing to do with canada. i like to quote tom donahue on this. he always reminds me never to take any of this personally or take it badly as canadians sometimes do. heap said the only reason americans, the united states, sometimes treat canada badly is because we view canadiens not really as a important country but we view canadiens as family and that's how we tree our family. >> ross: on that fot, love to making this your only stop. i think enjoyed your human, your substance and your commitment to our shared relationship. >> thank you. thank you lot.

finally, the united states could have -- canada, but given its successes, it could still claim victory. the armchair generals who fought since 1815 have argued and i think convincingly, that the united states focused its strategy too far west. expended far too many men and resources regaining first waging war in the old northwest and then after detroit was lost, recovering it. that if only we consecrated against the two british anchors, namely montreal and excuse me, quebec, that we could have won this war. that criticism is not sound, but i don't think any strategy would have won this war. i don't think any strategy would have conquered canada. why not? number one, the u.s. army wasn't just a sad state in 1812. untrained, ill disciplined, enlisted men and leaders with little experience and little come tense. it was a decade of republican neglect came back to haunt us. not only that, but we faced a formidable fall. the british army was a fine army in canada and the british could count on indian allies. the mere presence of an indian force on the battlefield could tip the battle because

have been reports that sanctions are hurting the iranian community, diaspora community in the united states, canada and sweden. and that doesn't help the united states. in terms of promoting u.s. interests, the sanctions have made the cost of iran's nuclear program higher. if iran decides to weaponize its program, it has to consider even more damaging sanctions. i do think that the sanctions make iran think or rethink its policies quite a bit and, potentially, causes fissures within the iranian government where you have revolutionary guards officers who are involved with the iranian economy be hurt by sanctions and pressure the supreme leader. also i think sanctions help contain iran. if iran developed a nuclear weapons capability, it would be in a much weaker state. it wouldn't be able to project power in the middle east as well. and sanctions, finally, show other countries who are thinking of violating the non-proliferation regime that there are costs associated. so if iran decides to go nuclear and saudi arabia thinks, well, we should obtain weapons, i hate to say it, there are benefits to sanct
