the good news about bangladesh is that it is back on the path of democracy and growth. in nepal and other countries democracy does still seem to be functioning. that is one of the reasons why we are here today, to talk about things. just a few words about india. india had the headline and got the jackpot this year. all five members of the security council of the united nations made the pilgrimage to new delhi with a view to seeking closer ties and economic relationships and also, if they could, to pace economic relationships on military sales on nuclear sales. everyone got something. i think of all the visitors to china probably get the prize because china managed to not only get to india, but also follow it up immediately with the visit to pakistan where he also signed a multi-billion dollar deals. so of the five major bidders to india china was the best in the region. i cannot talk about 2010 without mentioning the way that the year has ended, with a huge loss with the death of ambassador richard holbrooke who has left a huge job that needs to be completed, a man that

it has been tried in bangladesh and bolivia. it works. name me one religion that stands for that or ever has. wherever you look in the world and try to remove the shackles of ignorance, disease, and stupidity from women, it is inevitably the clergy that stands in the way.

[applaus i am not trying to be funny. if i was trying to be funny, you misunderstood me. it will not bring back the millions of people who died wretched desk because of that. this is not done wrongly in the name of religion. it is a direct precept, practiced and enforceable discipline of religion. i think he will find it is so in this case. if you are going to say we did the mormons will tell you the same. you may think it is cracked that joseph smith found another bible buried in upstate new york. i would rather have no mormons, no missionaries, notes joseph smith.

they have links in india with bangladesh and with people in europe and north america.hese groups are much more dangerous and can certainly create a very serious problem in the heartland of pakistan where it will be near impossible for the pakistan military to be deployed in the punjab. they can also create a very serious situation with india. if another mumbai attack occurs i think prime minister singh will find it difficult to resist the clamor for some kind of action against pakistan so i would say that is the nightmare scenario. i think when one looks at afghanistan and the taliban situation, quite often military planners do what they do which is they look at the tactical issue. if only i could just go across and grabbed these guys to bring them back, but this is not a simple equation. is a multi-varied equation and you need to be able to look at pakistan, india afghanistan iran, everyone all at the same time. i think that is something that needs cooler heads to prevail. a hope in in the isaf senior command in kabul and islamabad and in washington. >> thank you. cou

an increasing amount of our clothing comes from bangladesh. today there are 4,000 garment factories in bangladesh making clothes for wal-mart, gap, j.c. penney, levi strauss, tommy hilfiger and many, many others. garment workers in bangladesh, some 3.5 million of them -- and that number is growing -- are among the lowest-paid workers in the world, and they have difficulty buying enough food and shelter for their own needs. as i mentioned earlier today, the good news is the minimum wage in bangladesh was doubled. it went from 11.5 cents an hour to 23 cents an hour. so when you buy your shirt made in bangladesh, you have young women there coming in from the countryside who are paid now, have received a doubling of their minimum wage to 23 cents an hour. is that something our people should be asked to compete against? should we say to the american worker, we can get you jobs, we're prepared to invest in the united states. we're an american company; you helped make us great. thank you for the work you've done over the years. thank you for purchasi

sometimes when you go to a store, you may see a shirt made in bangladesh. that shirt in all likelihood is made by a young girl who came in from the countryside into the city, one of the factories there. now the good news is that in bangladesh, the minimum wage a number of months ago was doubled. the minimum wage in bangladesh was doubled. it went from 11 cents an hour to 23 cents an hour. are american workers going to be able to compete against desperate people who make 23 cents an hour? so my view, and i think it reflects the views of the american people, is that of course we want to see the people of bangladesh and the people of china do well. but they don't have to do well at the expense of the american middle class. we do not have to engage in a race to the bottom. our goal is to bring them up, not us down. but one of the results of our disastrous trade policies is that in many instances wages in the united states have gone down. i believe that in the coming months you're going to see an intensification of efforts to expand unfettered free trade. i thin
