bagan, here we come. a thousand years ago bagan was the capital for a long line of kings.he old coexists with the even older. as elsewhere in this part of the world. in many of the buddhist temples here more spirit-based beliefs coexist with buddhism. and in myanmar, worship of the gnats are wore shipped, they're gods, obvious with human failings. dance performances pay homage to the individual nats, performers claiming to actually channel them, bringing about one hopes a beneficial spiritual possession. but i'm not just here for a nat pue. i have a list. things to eat in myanmar. this is one of them. chicken curry. and from roadside joints like this nestled among the temple ruins, you're more than likely to catch a very enticing whiff. just delicious. spicy, but not to the point you want to scream out for mercy, but low simmered curry served with a side of sour soup made from rozelle leaves. with it you get fried ground chilies, pickled bean sprouts. you get the idea. these relishes, the dippy type of things, really interesting salad, but i'm not really a salad guy. salad

for both sadat and bagan, their relationship was put in jeptd at camp david.thing neither one really expected. >> you talk about how tense tense it was at camp david and you talk about throwing the papers around because he was upset by some proposals. this was not just leveraging a position. this was deeply health beliefs. talk about the role he played with people who remember him as a peacemaker and he won a noble for these peace agreements but he came out of the militant prerevolutionary force in israel and founded. likud party but wouldn't they say that's netanyahu, right wing, settlements. how was he the one to start peace for israel? >> holocaust survivor, lost his family in the holocaust. his whole political career was about enlarging the lan d of israel and providing a safe haven for jews around the world. nobody in his delegation thought he was going to comp to camp david and -- >> sign it away. >> it was completely against everything in his nature. >> land he felt israel won only when defending -- >> the strategic -- >> that started that war. and yet?

"the washington post" took a look and found more than a third of people aged 13-21 lived with their parents, the highest percentag

and bagan, after camp david. he invaded lebanon, which was a catastrophe for the lebanese people and the israelis, and it went on for years and years. something that he thought would be over in days. had he not signed the camp david, it may be israel will not have felt impossiblied to go into lebanon. after the war, he went into solution until his zath. each was marked in a way tragically by their bringing peace in the holy land. >> it's 13 days in september, a powerful description of an important event in our lift. >> lawrence wright, appreciate you joining us. good to see up. >> it's a pleasure. movistar rose mcgown goes behind the camera. why mistaken find marriage and >> every saturday, al jazeera america brings you controversial... >> both parties are owned by the corporations. >> ..entertaining >> it's fun to play with ideas. >> ...thought provoking >> get your damn education. >> ...surprising >> oh, absolutely! >> ...exclusive one-on-one interviews with the most interesting people of our time. >> you're li

bagan was secular. >> they were all three men of religion, carter was a born again christian, sadat was a pious muslim, calling him the first man of islam. and biggan was an orto dox jew, not as practicing as the other two, but scarred by the holocaust. they had come together to solve caused. >> sadat comes across as the hero, but so does carter in a way, because as you said, he obstinately would not let sadat and bakan walk away. were they better suited to agreeing to a deal than binyamin netanyahu, mahmoud abbas and president obama. >> as i said. they were flawed characters. carter was a failing and unpopular president. i don't think you could assemble a less likely cast of characters. one thing they did have, they had a lot of political courage, and that may be the difference today. >> long-term consequences of what happened. there's no violation of the treaty. israelis and palestinians can't figure out a long-term peace, and you wrote that the camp david accords severed egypt from the palestinians. in saying without a powerful arab champion, palestine was a mascot for islamists and
