joining us "new york times" david kirkpatrick, and peter bergen who has just written an item about the kind of war that isis hopes to start. so david, these killings what's the reaction been like on the ground in egypt? >> well it's very very moreose. a cloud is hanging over the whole country. i feel like anywhere in the country you walk into a room you see everybody hang-dog today. it's such a shocking thing to see not only the loss of life but a killing in this way. this kind of gruesome theatrical brutality really takes a toll on people. >> peter, it's hard to understand i think, for a lot of people what isis is hoping to achieve with these kind of killings. i mean if you're trying to look at it rationally you might think they would try to get support across the middle east rather than what it seems like they're doing, which is alienating themselves and growing a list of enemies. >> yeah. it's not an effective strategy to keep adding to your list of enemies. now isis has added the egyptians, previously the jordanians the united states and a very large coalition pretty much ethnic an

emily: you said a year ago when you spoke with david kirkpatrick that you couldn't construct a short-term model by which this becomes profitable. do you have a better idea now? when will this become profitable? mark: no, i don't have a better idea. the reality is that if people -- if a lot of people can't afford to pay for data access in these places, then they probably are not big ad markets. it is probably not a place where they will be particularly profitable in the near term. in fact, we will probably lose a bunch of money just because supporting facebook as a service and storing photos costs money. we will probably not offset it by making much. emily: you said connectivity is a human right. you want to do good things. if that is the case, why not give access to the complete internet? why just a few specific apps? mark: it comes down to how the economics works. most of the media that is consumed is rich. if you look at things like text messages, services like search or wikipedia or health or financial information, that can be delivered for relatively cheap. it can often consume less t

emily: so you said a year ago when you spoke with david kirkpatrick at mobile world congress, you couldn'tonstruct a short-term model by which this becomes profitable. do you have a better idea now? when will this become profitable? mark: no, i don't have a better idea. i mean, the reality is just that if a lot of people cannot afford to pay for data access in some of these places, then they're probably are not big ad markets and it probably isn't a place where it's going to be particularly profitable in the near term. in fact, we will probably lose a bunch of money just because supporting facebook as a service and storing the photos and content that people want to share costs money. we will probably not offset it by making much. emily: you said connectivity is a human right. mark: mm-hmm. emily: you want to do good things. mark: mm-hmm. emily: if that is the case, why not give access to the complete internet? why just a few specific apps? mark: so it comes down to the economics of how this works. it turns out that most of the internet is consumed by rich media, especially videos. whereas,
