in syrian refugee camps, i saw what happened when the war criminal bashar assad used chemical weapons to murder and maim innocent children. in south sudan, i sat with crying mothers who told me the horror stories about how soldiers took their babies from their arms and threw them into fires. in congo, i talked to boys who were captured at young vulnerable ages and put into the horrible life of child soldiers. in venezuela on the simon boulevard bridge, i watched parents and children walk for hours each way in the blazing sun to get the only meal they would get that day given to them by the catholic church just on the other side of the border in columbia. there are starving children digging through trash cans looking for food. i have seen places where life has been incredibly cheapened. it will always haunt me. all across the globe, i have spoken with mothers and fathers who would risk everything just to have a chance at life for themselves and for their children. these people are suffering because of war, dictatorship, disease, and abject poverty. they are a devastating reminder of th

stronghold of what is the left overs of this confrontation but many people in syria who opposed bashar al assad don't support the people in it the rebels. that this war in syria has been through a long and complicated and bloody. billions of factions fighting each other and i think it was very much like in lebanon i think like a post-war lead went on same scenario could work in syria where you have power sharing you have autonomy or this won't fly with us that. definitely was assad is won't fly. and he has a sense that he has won with some justification and so why would he given anything to his enemies who have lost in lebanon the situation is quite different there was a civil war going on with no winners or losers. in syria the situation is not like that. of course power sharing would be much better and a political transition something that the americans and europeans are still calling for but realistically i don't see that there may be some form of political process russia's certainly is calling for that but there is no real pressure for it and in the end this just going to say no and who is

men washington is accusing some mair foz of profiting from the civil war and helping president bashar assad the u.s. police falls and his family are directly supporting the regime and building luxury properties on land stolen from displaced syrians from washington d.c. patty cohan explains why the u.s. decided to take these meshes. u.s. president donald trump hasn't been focused very much on syria so the sanctions announcement it was a bit surprising but the treasury department's come out and said 16 people and cities with a relationship with assad in syria are going to be sanctioned what this means is that americans are generally prohibited from doing business with them and if they have any assets in the united states those can be frozen this is a fairly big company in the middle east so what treasury says they're doing in one aspect is taking the property of syrians who fled the war syrians who are still there and converting that property into luxury buildings so there's been sanction for that and this is a company that has a broad reach as i mentioned they're involved in sugar refinery t

they are the ones who destabilize syria, kept bashar assad in power. the republican guard only understands one thing, power. i think in fairness the president's explanation makes sense but what i think we lack is a strategy as to how we are going to deal with future incursions because there is a sense among nations in the middle east that we don't have the power and fervour that we need to confront radical islam and terrorism. while in the short-term i can agree with what you and kennedy and greg are saying in the longer term i'm worried that we don't have a clear and cogent strategy. >> kennedy: appeasing iran would be a better idea? >> hitting them would have been better. letting them know. >> kennedy: hitting them? you don't mind if that means creating funerals and bodies. >> we have created funerals all over the middle east and indeed there is venezuela now. >> kennedy: we should probably drop a couple nuclear devices on iran by that logic absolutely. they kill people, we should kill more people. >> you are mocking me and mocking a proportionate re
