you think about situations like what happened in bosnia in the '90s, or rwanda. >> rose: or cambodia. >> or cambodia, yeah. you have situations here where people seem to have lived together, different tribes, different communities had managed to coexist at least for a generation. and then some kind of societal memory was deliberately reawakened to

it was hard for me not to act alone in bosnia. we all knew what serbia was doing in bosnia and i sent my then secretary of state warren christopher around europe and asked them to help and they didn't want to do it and thousand reasons why. and i decided i shouldn't do that because it wouldn't be sustainable. the europeans had to buy in. they had to own the fact that if they wanted europe that was united, democratic and free for the first time in history, the balkans were going to be part of it and so, i waited until we could get a unified response. it was a painful wait. a lot of people died in that wait. some of the decisions i regret most were not hard, but were wrong. we didn't even talk seriously about whether we should send troops to rwanda because the public was exhausted with what happened at black hawk down. and somalia. and because we were involved in bosnia and that was much more in the news and frankly, we didn't have any idea they could kill 10% of the country in 90 days with machetes, essentially. so, sometimes, the

i want to bring in now a woman who came to this country as a refugee from bosnia in 1998., thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me, poppy. >> you are currently a student at harvard and you and your friends started this group, this twitter campaign, facebook campaign that i saw actually traveling overseas last week. and the hash tag is, i was also a refugee. what is it about, what does it mean to you? >> that's right, poppy. so again, we also were inspired just about a week ago seeing those images coming from europe to do something. and being three former refugees ourselves, you know, and knowing the stories of many other refugees in our communities, we thought that it's important to share our stories. the reason being that often refugees are viewed as a burden, a potential burden on society, people who come to, you know, take something for free. and we just know from our experiences and our families' experiences that that's not the case. surely many refugees need help in this beginning. but if given a chance, these are people who work hard to build their livel

of right of asylum -- for asylum seekers coming from al pena, bosnia and herzegovina, the former yugoslav republic of macedon, a montes kneeing rah, burby a and turkey. but it allows national authorities to focus on those refugees which are much more likely to be granted asylum, notably those from sear i can't. and this focus is very much needed in the current situation, a list of safe countries is not taking a away asylum rights from those people coming from those countries being listed. that's important. that's important. we are not neutralizing the geneva convention. asylum is a right. [applause] >> and the countries being on the list of save countries have to know that they are taking off of this list, because fundamental rights would not be assured in these countries. they are losing chair chance to join the european union. these two things are going together. safe list, yes. but -- [applause] >> but it is time we have a more fundamental change in the way that we deal with asylum applications, and notably the dublin system, that requires that asylum applications be dealt with by the

in the countries, whether it's rwanda, bosnia or syria or iraq, it's conflicts that rage within countries as opposed to between countries. what's the discussion at the u.n., not member companies, but countries that say why can we control that. >> when policies are decided, we are there to act. i come back to un o.p.s as being the implementer, and in post conflict zones, we are at our best. you find our biggest programs in afghanistan, you find them in haiti, in south sudan, you find them in somalia. when we are there helping people to access education, doing simple things as building roads, tar them, so that e i.d.s cannot be put there to explode - it's lives. >> as you watch syria, you say to yourself one day you'll be able to do the good work you do. don't you wish you don't have to watch what is going on now until then. role. >> i respect there's more than 190 member kund ris that have to agree on what to do. while politicians does how to move the set up. that is meaningville. >> and i respect there's a lot of people there. there's frustration within the united nations about the way th

remember when she said she landed in bosnia under sniper fire. let's remind people. >> right, right. >> i remember landing under sniper fire. there was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport. but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. >> all right. mark, i'm showing video right now. i'm going to show the video of her landing in bosnia. she's walking. there's no ducking or dodging. she's being met with flowers. she has a history of lying and hypocrisy. i mean this is -- what do you think in terms of the ads that people could make against her? >> well, you know, i think you can get away with it. if you're like bill clinton, bill clinton is a liar. and he tells the lies he needs to tell to get out of the situation he's in. he does so very charmingly. the point is, hillary, i think, would possibly have a sporting chance of surviving this if there was any good side to her campaign. but everything about her campaign is tone deaf. when she was endorsed by jean shaheen over the weekend

from bosnia and iran and some other places. so i think that one. things that people don't understand, refugees are probably the most -- people to come to this country. >> what kind offer security? >> security, restitution, and they have a well founded fear of prosecution, and there's a lot of interview beings, and homeland security, involved in the screening process. >> stay with us, and we'll hear later from you in the program. if europe and the united states coordinate with syria's neighbors in a more systematic response in a currently out of control situation, i realize that's a big if. should countries be prepared to house, feed, support, school refugees enter months, years, permanently? and if you welcome and help desperate, victimized people, must you be preparedton only shelter them for a time, but for a very long haul? who is my neighbor? it's the "inside story." >> suv seen the pictures, and heard the stories. so many left behind everything to seek shelter elsewhere, even at the risk of their own lives. borders are closing to refugees all

moment my heart and my prayers turn in a special way to the sufferings of the sorely tried peoples of bosnia-hercegovina. from bitter experience, then, we know that the fear of difference, especially when it expresses itself in a narrow and exclusive nationalism which denies any rights to the other can lead to a true nightmare of violence and terror. and yet if we make the effort to look at matters objectively, we can see that, transcending all the differences which distinguish individuals and peoples, there is a fundamental commonality. for different cultures are but different ways of facing the question of the meaning of personal existence. and it is precisely here that we find one source of the respect which is due to every culture and every nation. every culture is an effort to ponder the mystery of the world and in particular of the human person. it is a way of giving expression to the transcendent dimension of human life. the heart of every culture is its approach to the greatest of the mystery of- god. our respect for the culture of others is therefore rooted in our respect for each community's a

the redskins cheerleaders leave for bosnia next sunday for 19 days and will make a goodwill visit toed forces serving in southwest asia. >>> it looks like singer chris brown won't be touring in australia any time soon. brown had hoped to perform a down under tour in australia, but the government there sent a formal warning to the 26-year- old r and b singer saying he'll likely be denied a visa because of his criminal conviction for assaulting pop star rihanna. britain, canada and new zealand have also refused to give brown entry. >> you commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you you cannot come in. >> the anti-violence campaigners for a long period of time should be really proud that governments will now ban wife bash ers like chris brown. >> brown had scheduled concerts in sydney, brisbane, perth and melbourne with some tickets selling for as much as $500 each. if those concerts don't take place, all those tickets sales place, all those tickets sales mu selling 18 homes? easy. building them all in four and a

i'm reminded about what happened in places such as kosovo and bosnia.wasn't until there was a diplomatic solution that there was an agreement between the warring parties that we could introduce forces into the country not as combat warriors, but as peace enforcers that brought that country both in bosnia and in kosovo to some level of resolution. relying simply on a military solution without a diplomatic solution will turn this into an endless war. >> there are 4 million refugees, 250,000 people have died in the syrian civil war. let's talk about the military strategy that the obama administration has. there is a paltry number of d.o.d. trained rebels fighting against isil now. the pentagon seems to be doubling down on that strategy, relaxing the vetting standards and arming more rebels. how much of a difference would that make in the conflict? >> well to use your comment about double down, that means if we double the amount of trained syrian fighters, we'll go from four to eight. i think we're going to have to do much more in order to get an effective

we looked away in bosnia. we have looked away consistently. there is a genocide going on.re are refugees that need homes. thank goodness secretary kerry said that we are going to be accepting 10,000 more refugees. it's not enough. we need to look directly at what's happening. >> aylan is his name, and he made me cry. >> yep. >> let's go ajay. >> www. thephiladelphiacitizen.org, a new solutions-based journalism project which we just recently launched with our panelist larry platt as our editor and jeremy nowak as the chairman and connor barwin, the great linebacker for the philadelphia eagles, as one of our reporters. go check it out before you watch connor play on monday night. >> all right. >> mine is about the pope is coming, as well, i know, but people are concerned about their healthcare, with him being directly across the street from lankenau hospital. i want to give kudos to main line health, their c.e.o., jack lynch, who is really coming together with all entities to make sure that people will have their healthcare, no matter what it might be. so, if you have to go

you look at situations -- situations like what happened in bosnia or rwanda. charlie: or cambodia.ah. you have situations where people seem to have lived together, different tribes and communities had managed to coexist for a generation, and then some can of societal memory was deliberately we awakened to mobilize hatred and violence. that same question about, do we want to remember certain things? are we better keeping off some memories buried? i was wanting to apply it not just to a nation, but side-by-side with that i wanted to apply it to marriage, because i think the same questions apply to a marriage, a long-distance would to anyit long-term parent-child relationship or siblings. have passageships that you agree to just keep buried. all right, that was unfortunate and painful, let's just move on. the couples at the center of my novel have this very difficult our love-- will survive remembering some of these things? do we want to remember some of the things we have buried? on the other hand, if we don't look at these things, and their time together is limited now -- if we don'

she led anti-landmine campaigns in places like angola and bosnia and became the first public figure to be photographed touching an aids patient. because the media covered her every move, diana's work brought much needed attention to causes that may have not otherwise received it. after years living apart, diana and charles officially divorced in august of 1996. the princess had been seeing mohammed al-fayed or "dodi" to his friends. he was a millionaire movie producer and son of the founder of english department store "harrod's." just before that fateful night in 1997, diana took a vacation with dodi in southern france. and like most of her adult life, the paparazzi hovered around her every move. they eventually followed her to paris, the last city the world- traveling princess would ever visit. minutes after midnight on august 31, 1997, a car carrying diana and dodi crashed in tunnel along the river seine . the crash was so violent, the car's radiator smashed into the front passenger seat. diana, dodi, and the driver also were killed but a fourth passenger survived. news quickly sprea

when you start thinking of syria, i think we should really start thinking about bosnia, because that'sike it's going to be, a three-way partition. and that might be the end game solution as history sees it 20 years from now, but to get things settled down and to stop the firing, i think think it's g to break into a kurdish area, a government-controlled area and a rebel-controlled area, and then they're going to negotiate from there. cheryl: chuck, real quick, the russians have put tanks there. that is their only naval base outside of russia. >> yep. cheryl: it's strategically crucial to them. that's the hard part here, is to make sense of the fact that the russians who have been backing assad, funding assad would now want to be a part of working with us to push him out the door or at least into a different role. >> well, and it's because i think what the russians are seeing is that they're seeing the flow of more and more muslims into europe on their western front. they're already dealing with problems in the caw cases, and the longer this war continues in syria, the more uncertain thi

we think of 500,000 that came from cuba. 225,000 soviet jews who escaped persecution. 131,000 from bosnia,000 from somalia. the list is long. but we have to understand that we cannot absorb them all, certainly. and those we can absorb have to be carefully, carefully vetted. >> don't we have to do better, though, than even the 10,000 that the president and congress are calling for? with everything else on your plate, are we going to add the translators and the intelligence analysts to do the proper vetting? >> well, i think we should. and i think 100,000 is not an unreasonable figure in light of our historic responses to these refugee crises. you know, this is a test. let's be -- let's get to the bottom line here. this is a humanitarian crisis of our time. and the question is, will the united states, which has been extremely generous in supporting refugees in these camps and other places in the world, will we accept a fair share of those refugees if they are carefully vetted and can come to the united states and become part of our nation? i think we can and we should. but let's not overloo
