yemen's not on the horn of africa, 'cause it's not in africa. but the flow of islamists, or militants, or whatever you wanna call them, into the region is at, very least, encouraged by what's going on in yemen, and the united states, regardless of that, has nonetheless responded militarily in both yemen and in the horn of africa. so my question to you both, and terrence, let's go with you first, what role does that cross water communication play in the american interest in the horn of africa? >> i, you know, i do think that there, there are concerns in washington that there are groups based in yemen and in somalia that are, that are cooperating. the problem that al-qaeda has in organizing in somalia is very similar to the problem that other people have in organizing in somalia. it's a very divided, very fractious, very difficult terrain to work on. and in fact, past history shows that shabab and al-qaeda preferred to mobilize and organize in mombassa, and in dar es salaam, and in places in kenya where there's functioning states. to have a purely

and in addition, you had all monies from southeast arabia, living in large numbers in east africa. everyone was everywhere everywhere and this ocean since antiquity because of the monsoon winds. it's why you find the remains of many, not just a few, but many seven, eighth and ninth century mosque's of arabs and persians in coastal china. it's why you had chinese navigators from the early ming dynasty visiting yemen in southwest arabia. and those of mongol islamic descent making the pilgrimage to mecca. literally, every one was sailing around everywhere. and because of this, the indian ocean up until the arrival of the portuguese in 1498 with oscoda, sailing to india, let me put this aside here. we often read in our history books that the portuguese navigator discovered india. he didn't discover india. what he discovered or rediscovered for the european was the wind system, the monsoon winds system that would allow one to sail from what is today kenya in east africa across the arabian sea to calicut on the western coast of india appeared wednesday, arrived in india, he instituted 50

they were concerned they might invade south africa. if so then they wanted some leverage with other countries particularly the united states to get some support and billing this invasion. the plan was they will tell the united states we have nuclear weapons and of the united states wasn't responsive to that, then the what test one underground as if we were not responsive to that and then they would prepare to use one as a tactical nuclear weapon on the battlefield. although it is rather bizarre to think about it's not so different from effort over the years to use potential and the nuclear arsenal as bargaining chips in the alliance in the united states. at the same time there is considerable evidence in south africa had actually begun at least planning to work full-scale development of a nuclear capability that would include not only world war ii bombs but also an implosion and treaty bombs and some original work. the treaty is it ties south africa to the early work during the middle years of the cold war by israel and i think it is a

should south africa be a member? clearly this is an issue fraught with a lot of complication. ballistic missiles are now spreading to and extend. ballistic missiles and submarines are spreading to an extent where there was a great book published in 1999 called fire in the east, the rise of asia in the second nuclear age and he said there is a continued uninterrupted line of overlapping ballistic missile ranges from israel on the mediterranean to the see of japan. that existed until saddam hussein's regime was toppled. in military terms we are really seeing this movement to asia to these countries that are not permanent members of the security council. clearly something has to change to more adequately reflect the balance of power in the world. >> good evening from columbia. what about the impact of russians into the development of the submarine of china? because the russian government and also india will have two nuclear submarines which are going to be constructed. the impact on the region. >> throughout the bad years of the 1990s when russia as a state almost collapsed and i
