>> because i believe part of the american project of nation-building is to reconstruct other societies. empires believe that societies can't change that they have to be dominated and controlled from the outside. americans believe that societies can be rebuilt to be better for themselves and better for us. this is self-interest as well as altruistic activity. >> so on a personal level, do you support the concept of nation-building? >> i do. i don't see how we can escape it. in fact, i argue in the book that i cannot predict -- no one can predict the next foreign policy crisis. but i can safely predict that the next president will be involved in nation-building again. it's in our dna as americans. it's what defines us as americans. >> has there been a president who hasn't been involved in nation-building? >> not a president who actually oversaw a period of any major american expansion. there have been presidents who have served in short periods when the united states was contracting and that's okay. there are moments we might be in one of those moments right now. but any expansive period

interests, trying to define what our american national interest and we are happy to work with its new incarnation as a center for national interest and dmitri on this project. so, most of us here in washington probably are familiar with i would say the two standard refrains that i hear most frequently when the subject of russia comes up in conversations in washington. the first says, who cares? 20 years after the cold war, russia doesn't matter any more. in the second one basically just says -- we have heard enough about that topic and we are tired of it. and then maybe a little bit of voice that i would think speaker boehner's speech last week is a good illustration. this for ward is quite contrary and says that those two reflexes are profoundly mistaken for a government, a responsible government who is taking its responsibility to defend and advance america's national interest. so the place from which this report starts is what is good for the u.s., not as what is good for some other country and not what is good for russia but what is good for the u.s. and what interests of

american investors, and our economy will take off. and it's going to be good for everyone in this nation. i hope that this month we will see the joint committee come in with such recommendations that will be balanced, will be fair, and will allow us to create more jobs for americans. with that, mr. president, i would suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the senator from virginia. mr. webb: mr. president, 11 days ago -- the speaker pro tempore: we're in a quorum call. mr. webb: i ask consent that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. webb: 11 days ago a all but four of the republicans in this body filibustered a commonsense piece of legislation that would have created a national commission designed to bring together some of the best minds in america to examine our broken and frequently disfunctional criminal injured system and to make recommendations as to how we can make it more effective, more fair, and more cost efficient. this legislation was the product of more than four years of effort.

so the chinese are progressively improving and progressively precisely gradually moving up to american national seats capabilities how do you see washington reacting to china's progress on this front. well basically what washington is is concerned about that the chinese space program doesn't clearly delineate or distinguish between its commercial military and civilian aspects what is interesting to see that the chinese space program is basically controlled by the people's liberation army the general armaments department the p.l. a has basically operational control over both manned and unmanned chinese space flights so i would argue that the u.s. policy makers are clearly concerned about the dual use of chinese space to space program and so what do you see as the future going forward you do you see a new space serious emerging with china versus the u.s. versus russia versus the e.u. or do you see eventual cooperation between all the programs what do you think. i think the debate is a little bit exaggerated between space you know talking about space race i don't think it's a zero sum game i think
