the norm. 10-year capital planning is now the norm. and we hope to breed that kind of fiscal approach to agencies that we don't fully control, but i know they appreciate it. whether it's a school district, the housing authority, city college, or all the other partners that we value, that they need to be a great part of this fiscal approach. then we can say to cities like detroit and others, we've got the answer, that you don't have to do what you did in the past or don't fall into the traps that we have the answer here in san francisco. and that will continue to be a consensus building approach taking care of our responsibilities. with that, i'd like to give the podium for a while to this year's chair of our budget committee, of course is mark farrell. (applause) >> well, thank you to mayor lee for his great leadership during this process. you know, after months of debate in city hall, after six town halls in our different neighborhoods, after an online town hall, i think what i'm most proud of

the reason is because there are a whole host of international norms that are important to us. we have currently rules in place dealing with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. we have international norms that have been violated by certain countries, and united nations has put sanctions in place, but if there is a sense that over time nobody is willing actually to enforce them, then people do not take them seriously. i am very clear that the world generally is more wary. certainly, the united states has gone through over a decade of war. part of our obligation no as a leader of the world is to make sure that when you have a regime that is willing to use not -- willing to use weapons are prohibited by international norms, there are people, including children, that are held to account. thank you. calls, moment, your tweets, and e-mails live on "washington journal." 50thhen the red ribbon anniversary of the march on washington. >> very often what you see as the causes of the first lady become so entwined with her causethat she keeps that and that image through the res

i think the president is basically trying to, one, establish the norm, that you can't gas your own people. and finally just to establish the idea that we will strike out and try to change their calculus. there are certainly dangers down the road but i think the loss of the credibility as we try to face iran and other countries would be more immediate and more realizable, and, therefore, he more or less has to do what he's doing. >> woodruff: mark, how do you see it? has the president made the case? >> i don't think so, judy. i think the president, and particularly the secretary of state, john kerry, today made a very strong case about what has been done is abhorrent. it is unacceptable. it does-- it cannot go unpunished. but at the same time, i don't think there's a case been made as to what we will do other than to punish in some way the syrian regime for doing it, and to make ourselves feel better. i mean, i don't eye don't see-- there's no regime change. there is no u.s. troops or coalition troops. there's no coalition troops. it's to be short and over, and i think as general anthony z

the cop is protecting the norm so you want to interview what is perceived as bad many actors have told me they would much rather play the villain than the hero because he could explore the villain more you can to try to get into that villains head why why would you rob a bank you know what motivates you to do that as much more interesting and involved than the bank teller. what this hell more big fascination factor which basically defines the media nowadays did you have to change things about your work to fit that demand. i know i try to avoid that sometimes you can't i had to do the murder trials i had to do the tabloid stories they're part of the nature of being and never like them i don't like doing divorce stories i don't like. stories of you know the saddest stories to do you know on a child is missing and you're interviewing the parent and wot search parties are looking for the child that's to motional in training it's very hard we have to do them the public has but morbid interest is true of everyone if you're driving down the street and there's a car accident you stop you look

. >> the world has an obligation to make sure that we maintain the norm against the use of chemical weapons. now i have not made a final decision about various actions that might be taken to help enforce that norm, but as i've already said, i have had my military and our team look at a wide range of options. >> will he or won't he? the white house lays the ground work for a strike on syria, leaving wall street and the world waiting. this is "nightly business report" for friday, august 30th. >>> good evening everyone and welcome. i'm susie gharib. >> and i'm bill griffeth in for tyler tonight. a determined president obama today making the case to justify a u.s. military strike against syria over its use of chemical weapons but no decisions have been made when and how the u.s. will respond, only affirmations no u.s. troops will be sent on the ground. john kerry said administraon has evidence the assad regime used chemical weapons that killed more than 1,000 syrians, including hundreds of children. kerry said being war weary does not allow us to turn the other cheek. >> we know after a decade

we change the norms in our school. suspensions have decreased nationally in the thousand schools we've been in by more than 30 percent, discipline referrals go down because young people are defusing the escalating interrupting, preventing and stopping injustice. do we have the courage as a nation to stop focusing on the problem and begin to really understand the best cost effective solution is to empower our young people? treat them not as empty bottles to be filled but candle sz to be lit. and i hope we can all use our collective voices today to spread a message of empowerment, justice and courage. courage. thank you . >> thanks, rick, i think we'll dig into that message of empowerment a little bit more deeply. next up is. >> our president was unable to be with us today but sends her greetings from washington, dc i hope you all have the handouts on the table that describe our organization. basically for the last 20 years, our organization has challenged stereotypes and misinformation about muslims and their faith, true

the geneva protocol since 1925. syria is a signatory to this protocol. that normds to be reestablished by demonstrating this is not acceptable behavior and also warning the regime not to do this again. >> brown: john mearsheimer, a limited, punitive strike? >> no, i disagree almost completely with what ivo said. i think the united states has no strategic interest in this particular case. our core strategic interests are not at stake. there's no compelling moral case for intervening in syria. and very importantly, it's not clear that using military force is going to do request good. when president obama was asked what this strike is likely to accomplish, he basically had no good answer to that question so my bottom line is that the united states should work diplomatically to try and settle this war but it should stay out militarily to include a limited strike with cruise missiles. >> brown: hisham melhem, you have argued a limited strike might not be enough. >> a limited strike, a punitive strike that will will keep bashar al-assad in government, maybe petering a l

before, and i meant what i said, that the world has an obligation to make sure that we maintain the normainst the use of chemical weapons. now, i have not made a final decision about various actions that might be taken to help enforce that norm, but as i've already said, i have had my military, and our team look at a wide range of options. we have consulted with allies, we've consulted with congress, we've been in conversations with all the interested parties, and in no event are we considering any kind of military action that would involve boots on the ground, that would involve a long term campaign, but we are looking at the possibility of a limited, narrow act that would help make sure that not only syria, but others around the world understand that the international community cares about maintaining this chemical weapons ban and norm. but again, i repeat, we're not considering any open-ended commitment. we're not considering any boots on the ground approach. what we will do is consider options that meet the narrow concern around chemical weapons, understanding that there's not going

the environment changes is if youth and adults begin to speak with one voice about changing the social norms that allows it to happen. it makes sense to most of us, you have it khaifrpb the social norms. we must educate. but we must go beyond thinking more rigor will get us better achievement. we have to remember a school is a community and in a xhuept, people look out for each other. they've got each other's back. how do we begin to promote that idea that we are in this thing together? we believe it's through, unfortunately but truly, self-interest. kids are driven developmentally by the desire to fit in, to belong, to be part of an affinity group. if we can capitalize on their desire to look out for their friends and give them some more tools and opportunities and support, they will begin to do what we need them to do to at least confront it in their own small cell of social influence and the compounding and leveraging of that begins to make change. so the question we have to ask ourselves, are we as adults willing it slow down enough to invite kids to sit down at the table with us and par

we don't want to send the message to america that bullying is normative; that bullying is normal, and that clip illustrated that the school is sending that message, and there is a difference, an important distinction between the school sort of embodying and sending the message to the kids that bullying is just a part of growing up and believing that bullying in our school is normative because it simply isn't. the data shows bullying is going down and that is not a popular thing to say these days. bullying is a very important social problem that we need to fix, but it is not an epidemic and it's not on the rise and neither is cyber bullying and the top scholars in the country and in social science and psychology that saying that, so that's an important distinction so thank you both so much. >> and there is that and -- there's a balance between -- i mean when i hear that bullying is going down i mean all of us should rejoice because that to me is indicative of the fact of the work in communities across the country are starting to pay off, but it's going to be hard in this ark and we are

it matters because a lot of other countries whose policy challenge the international norms are watching. they are watching. they want to see whether the united states and our friends mean what we say. it is directly related to our credibility and whether countries still believe that the united states when it says something. they are watching to so if syria can get away with it and because then maybe they, too can put the world at greater risk. and make no mistake in an increasingly complicated world of secitarian and religious extremist violence, what we choose to do or not do, matters in real ways to our own security. some cite the risk of doing things. we need to ask what is the risk of doing nothing? it matters because if we choose to live in a world where a thug and murderer like bashar a l- assad can gas with impunityine after the united states said no and the world does nothing about it. there will be no end to the test of our resolve and the dangers from others who believe they can do as they will. this matters also beyond the limits of syria's borders. it is iran a victim of che
