he presents the american decision to stay in berlin as a great allied defense of berlin against soviet oppression and leading directly to the formation of nato. geoffrey robinson argues the powers complicity in genocide in the united states, britain and australia became the towers in 1999, worked with international humanitarian organizations to stop another genocide. a third theme related to the second is that individuals can make a difference. two of our three authors participated personally in the events they are about to relate. i turn to our officers with an opening question. each of these books deals with recent if not very contemporary history. we have a critical chapter in the early cold war with a number of participants still alive. we have east timor were the wounds of genocide and indonesian occupation remain open wounds still shaping the lives of them and kosovo 2001 before it became a nation where many of the accused remain at large. how did the proximity of events shaped the way he wrote about them? what were the challenges of not having time and distance between you and t

[applause] >> we were supporting our troops. we saw all of the things the russians started to do when berlin. the rubble of the city and the hardships. it is quite a story. but we have to salute president truman for standing up and not letting us be driven out. i like to call it the first victory of the cold war because we stood for our place in that city and it was a wonderful experience for cry was a be 17 transition when the war ended so i did not see combat and my first assignment was berlin for the occupation restarted that's airlift with the c47 that only carry two and a half tons but when they brought in the 54 we were deeply involved. it is a great story and one that a lot of people don't understand and you go over there know if they know that you were part of the air they cannot do enough for you. they could see what was happening in east berlin and it was not a pretty sight in they were afraid we

t islaimed he was about to be arrested which is why he left berlin. good american reporters tried to get the story out but it was difficult to do. obviously they all left before we got into the war. >> let me throw this open for questions. are we wired for questions? >> there's a microphone. [talking over each other] >> you mentioned canada use the word poison the well by telling fdr that it was unbalanced or whenever. how is it that he ends up deciding as the next ambassador? >> very good question. roosevelt had tired of kennedy long before he left. kennedy also was a political problem for roosevelt. roosevelt feared he would come back before the presidential campaign. that kennedy would come home and campaign against the president so he wanted to keep him over there for as long as he could. corr roosevelt wanted somebody who duld correct of damage that kennedy had done but also wanted tymebody who was liberal. who had ties to the labor party because he was pretty sure the labor party would come to power even during the war or immediately after as in

there will be i think you quote him saying to his press secretary there will be no dancing on the berlin wall. in other words, we're not going to be trying to celebrate. will be careful, cautious and realistic. the younger george bush seems to be much more of an idealist, a crusader, somebody who wants to promote democracy. and that tension between realism and idealism, both of which are audible strains in american foreign policy, seems, i noticed it in this book, this contrast between the two george bushes. >> guest: difference does, different approaches. i had the opportunity to be the home office with both of them. i worked with the first president bush as the first drug czar. visited as a journalist, a radio talk show host with the other president bush. yeah, i mean, i think there are stylistic differences. and, of course, there was the very different reaction to what happened in iraq that what happened in the first gulf war. and he had more difficult issue to deal with, w., then age to be. there was this interest in nationbuilding. again, i'm something of a skeptic about that but i'

from about 200 years from 1989 the fall of the berlin wall or 1991 whereby the formal dissolution of the soviet empire. human kind went through the age of ideology. it frustrates me when president bush would say we're in a war of ideas with al qaeda. no we are not. not at all. there's no ideology on either side. we are fighting for values. democracy is not an ideology. democracy is a technique of human self-governance that uses the tools of elections. it can be adapted. we are fighting for values, freedom, human rights, the rights of women and so forth. our enemies in the conflict are fighting for belief. our refusal to acknowledge speaking for washington. it's debilitating. religions are for me, although i'm a religious believer, as an analyst, i must separate that. religion is what men and women make of it. we have a genius for perverting the word of god. for bending it until our own ends. we have enemies in al qaeda, hamas, hezbollah, who are openly not just saying but screaming, shouting, that they are dying for allah. they are file -- fighting for allah. they are fighting for th

is it better now than it was after the fall of the berlin wall or is the problem getting worse? >> unfortunately i think most experts think the problem is getting worse because we have had al qaeda to many years now absolutely committed to getting its hands on some of that nuclear material. there's probably not a one of us who reads that great fiction who hasn't recently read a book where some terrorist got their hands on some nuclear material and a u.s. intelligence officer at the last moment kept them from setting off the bomb. that's not so farfetched. the greatest danger is making sure that material does not fall into the hands of terrorists and that's what the president and quite frankly these 47 leaders along with the u.n. and the iaea and others are trying to make sure happens. >> help us understand because you have had over the course of your career access to the intelligence. so i know you can't share classified information, but what don't we know that perhaps would help people understand that maybe somebody at home would say maybe i better care more about this. >> i th

it will be speaking in half an hour about the berlin airlift and the candy bombers. >> i very much enjoyw much is the opium trade having an effect on the economy of afghanistan and how is that intertwined with our task of changing the psychology of people whose lives depend on it? >> that's an excellent question. i mean, recently there was $100 million aid package to bolster back pakistan. some people who were in the book have been communicating with me about and they think it's very important. here's why. like in marjah, everyone is using it as a cash crop. you go back to the social. if you can replace the poppies with something else in the government and this comes from the government, you legitimize the economy company therefore legitimize the government and the people either have to get with the program or not get with the program and that would mean that they would start to cleave away from the taliban and the opium and get a legitimate. so money while it's very expensive is cheaper than the alternative, which would be to hammer at this from the outside with bombs and bullets all th

two women are rested on the accusation of smuggling a dead relative onto a flight to berlin. they were arrested at liverpool airport on saturday when it transpired. he was in a wheelchair wearing sunglasses when officials checked his pulse. the pound was up against the dollar. there will not be much room to hide the next month. if we cannot inform those during the election campaign then there is no point at all in the news media existing. watch out. >> as the election plays out, we will be keeping track of the stories behind the slogans and the spin. >> our political team will be on the campaign trail demanding detail on policy and pursuing answers to the questions that candidates may prefer to avoid. >> david. >> the politicians ultimately answer to you. tell us what you think matters. we are on facebook and took care. get in touch. >> you do not believe in politics? >> no. >> if you are lucky, one reporter will pop up in his backyard with a selection of cardboard boxes for memos for incoming ministers. >> [inaudible] >> steve smith checks and to say what this crucial swing

we rely on them as berlin, the most dedicated, the great forces -- we rely on the great forces and the most dedicated. >> i went for a run this morning with some just came back from afghanistan. one had done an incredible job there. this goes back to how do we get these things right? one of the things that strikes you in afghanistan is that you're not in the political situation right. for the television crew and where the taliban came from, -- where the taliban grew and where the taliban came from? that is a big political issue that we have to make sure that the whole country in afghanistan is part of the afghan government. that is absolutely key for making sure that we can bring our soldiers back home. we need a political settlement to help make sure we can come home. >> even if you decide to undertake a mission like that again, there is no point deciding that you want to do it unless you also know how, unless you can provide the necessary resources. when i was visiting the troops, i spoke with some mechanics. they had been on a convoy previously, which normally takes one date to get

but i guess it's like having a piece of the berlin wall in your house after they tore that down. >>>inally a shaky piece out there. not only the field, but in the spelling department. check them out. that's too many c's. it looks like san francisco. and he played the whole game and he didn't notice that he had a misspelled jersey. >> no, but whatever. >> a minor oversight. >> far from us who follow the natonals. >> did we spell it right this season? >> yes, i believe they hired a spell checker. >> fantastic for the nationals. >> rt will, that's it for us -- all right, that's it for us. the cbs evening news is next. derek will see you at 7. topper, before we get out of here real quick? >> no warnings right now. big thunderstorms possible about 2 a.m. we'll keep you posted. >> all right, that's it for us. hope you have a great night. we hope you tune in to our very early morning show. get started at 4:25 with andrea, hang gee, and howard. don't forgot wusa9.com is always on.

he is a partner at covington and berlin, a d.c. law firm. he also came up with the acronym tefra. our last panelist was an intern, a senior adviser in the body man. he handled the senator's logistics. as we know from mike's visit last year, he served as the director of vice presidential campaign, for the mccain-palin campaign. he is a principal in international public-relations firm. please join me in welcoming these panelists to the dole institute. >> thank you to all three of you for coming tonight for this night to talk about senator dole and his accomplishments. i would like to begin by asking each of you to tell how you can about working for bob dole in the various roles you had in his office. rob, let's start with you. >> i came to work for senator dole in 1979 when the senator rose to the position of ranking member and the senate finance committee. he replaced the retired carl curtis perki. the senator wanted to get some young lawyers to help staff that committee. through elizabeth, elizabeth called one of her law school classmates, and bob and i worked at covington and ber

could not even talk about objectivity when you're talking about what was going on in britain and berlint that particular time. so he would get in constant trouble with the powers that be back at cbs about objectivity because the set, you are making it very clear what your opinion is. he would say, yes, i am. i'm going to keep doing it. he continued that kind of reporting throughout his career. he crossed the line sometimes. there is no question. i think in this case he was right. objectivity has been a thorn in the side of journalists says the beginning of journalism. the whole idea that your reporting has to be free of personal prejudice or opinion is quite frankly nonsense. there is a point. there should be balanced. and this particular case he thought that there was no balance. one was white and one was wrong. >> you did that this really well. it is a brief introduction. as everybody was gearing up for the war in iraq in 2003, the editors, the french are not grateful for normandy. we would remind them it wasn't really only about normandy. had it not been for the french we would all b

the younger evangelicals and others their age, they grew up post-cold war, after the fall of the berlin wall, and frankly after 9/11. they know terrorism, but they don't know nukes. but they are optimistic this can be done, the global zero movement. but it's educating a whole new generation that has to be done, who didn't grow up with it, hasn't acquiesced to it. >> abernethy: how representative do you think you are in this position of evangelicals in general? >> i think i'm very... i've changed my mind. i was part of the cold war, part of the evil empire speech by ronald reagan, who, by the way, advocated the virtual elimination of nuclear weapons. so i have changed my views on these subjects due to both the cold war and 9/11. but i think all evangelicals... >> abernethy: but there are evangelicals, aren't there, who don't agree with you? >> not everyone is there, but the younger evangelicals do. they know that this is real, and it's their lives. >> abernethy: for a long time, there's been the theory that we needed a deterrent because that was the only way to prevent attack against us.

. >> reporter: today, frankfurt, berlin and warsaw allowed some flights to operate and european officials were hopeful that as many as 50% of all flights might take off tomorrow. hundreds of thousands of passengers remain stranded at airports across europe today, hoping for one thing. >> we want to go home, back to our own country, to get home. >> reporter: today the british government told airlines to help stranded passengers by providing food and accommodation. it also announced that it's considering using the royal navy to bring home british citizens stranded abroad, including those in the united states. >> we've got to mobilize all possible transport means to get people back from the continent or from north america and elsewhere to the continent and then back to britain. >> reporter: the air travel chaos has been bad for business on both sides of the atlantic. ups and fedex have both reported cancellations and transatlantic freight shipments and several u.s. airlines have canceled tomorrow's flights to europe. and in britain, despite what are being called successful test flights, the

people who came out of the country to attend a conference, and now even today they are still stuck in berlinand some of them in bonn. so it's i think that the approach now is to try, if the want of exchanges of people, trying to choose those people who are less prominent, who are not in any way, you become a sort of drawn the attention of the government. and then have some sort of plan b so if they cannot return to the country, if the idea is to bring them out and have exchanges, that there are provisions for them to be able to sort of, you know, exist in some sort of temporary existence, should that happen. because that's a real possibility now it's people who come out cannot return. >> there are still organizations that even since the june elections have been able to carry out exchanges, and i think they've done it in a way in which there is -- is a very, very clear what they're doing. science for example, and they have certainly kept it out of the political minefield that we're in now, but i think that we, a lot people are talking about engagement, very broadly as we saw in the video down

and i would go to berlin quite often on the train and we would have to go through this border. on the right to have the north korean border. and you can see they're very different that this is the border to china and not the dmz to south korea. but still, it's a very easy border to cross. and the very interesting statistic is 50% of those who do cross the border into china brought their way back into the country. now, no way tried to bribe their way back into soviet union or back into east germany. so i would warn you against taking the hyperbole of a lot these north korean refugee ngo's seriously. they like to talk about the underground railroad that is helping north korean migrants to safety. i don't know if any slaves bribing their way back onto the plantation. so we need to realize this is a country that survived not by repressiveness alone but because it is able to inspire its people still. so that's where want to talk to you about is how does it inspire its people. i want to stay in here now but we need to go back into history a little bit and i want to talk about duce, i

in that that brought me back to journalism to do something differently because even with a divided berlin with people's personal problems were defined geopolitical strategic negotiations, i did see that there was the aspect of life close to the ground where people were making meeting even if they didn't have political freedom or wealth of the way we have it. where we work out our integrity and substance is said relationships how we lead our lives and structure our lives. i gradually even thinking about taking religion seriously i realized eventually that what is happening is impart a religious traditions in part of what we call the spiritual aspect of life. so that is how i circled around but after i got my divinity degree, you had this experience being a journalist, was portrayed in the news and in the media live coverage of the aspect of life it was so inadequate not even telling a fraction of the store abutted religion may be other aspects of life because we did not have the fluency, we always thought the guys planting bombs or the people saying the most vicious things that are real an

the british isles, paris, berlin, london.the upper winds will be pushing it out over the atlantic brigit planes crossing the atlantic might get involved in that. i am not sure about transatlantic flights would this pattern -- with this pattern. it could drive -- it could drag -- it could drag crashed into northern scandinavia. we will wait to see what happens. partly cloudy skies for us. breezy and cool, 57-62. small craft advisory is out on the bay. here is the forecast tonight. we dropped into the 30's. 57 is the high tomorrow. still a little breezy. monday and tuesday is also drive -- dry. rain chances more than likely thursday and friday. maybe a slight chance on wednesday. it will wait a while so we will be dry for a few days. >> did you know that knee injuries are more common in women? they are at least three to eight times more common and that is especially true in a field athletes. >> women play sports more than ever before today. unfortunately, they also have more knee injuries. like 21 year-old sarah who has been ch

uses the files from the american embassy in cairo which were transcribing of the radiobroadcast from berlinand the speech in cairo when they came to cairo after the war cities are from scholarly -- >> the point is there is no discussion of the fact he supported it. the creation of israel there is no discussion about this but even to support him for that reason given comfort and the radio broadcasts teams the muslim brotherhood to say the least. sprigg the point is the support in this specific period of time that we had even in europe by people supporting because even in france we had this to condemn this support and say any kind of support was the nazis were wrong and have no difficulty of saying this was wrong and not acceptable. now what i am telling you is that quotation is coming from them supporting the nazis or supporting anti-semitism's the way that you described this i am challenging this because i didn't find this the way it was put. now if this is the case and you can speak to many things were said of what happened that if you come back to the text you find exactly -- things that

and they both focus gorbachev as we're coming to the 20th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, i thought it would be timely to focus on gorbachev and how we learn some very important things about his role in this period. his role is central to my story and in my book. but i also felt that i discovered things that in all the previous years we didn't know. and definitely got a new understanding of what that role was. i think it's important to remember that gorbachev's achievements in ending the cold war. breaking what he said the speeding of the locomotive race. allowing the revolution in europe to unfold peacefully. ending the confrontation in the third world. these were not his first objectives. they grew out of his own desire for radical change at home. rooted in his own experience as a peasant son, a witness to world war ii. a university student. a party official in the years of stagnation and they grew out of his own deep impressions about what had gone wrong. gorbachev did not set out to change the world. but rather to save his country. and in the end he didn't save the cou

there candidacies of east berlin's strains of sexism across the country that many thought were alreadyt: absolutely. i thought they did not exist growing up with a younger generation i that we were pretty much passed in the business of this and ridicule and derisive now is that both of them endured. when it covered both campaigns i did not think you could cover clinton or pay land and sea anything end common two-seat our share almost no voters but the level of response in the intensity is so polarizing and if you look at the three most senior women in elective politics today more visible women with pelosi and clinton and palin all of them are extremely polarizing and is that a coincidence? >> host: when the clintons weren't charged they sold out to wall street and look at what happened. i let that stand. but that was a factor. >> no question. obviously first lady for eight years that gave her the stature and name recognition to run for the senate floor new york and when she was running in the primary she talked about clinton cleaning up after a bush that was part of the fund-raising ef

but i have to go back, back to paris, back to berlin, madrid for "how to train your dragon."n and france can come up with an award. >> jimmy: maybe it could be a competition between the countries to give you things. >> yeah. something. >> jimmy: i heard you were on a diet, a very restrictive diet that sounds crazy to me. >> yeah. >> jimmy: how many calories a day were you eating? >> i was -- i was on a cleanse for 16 days. >> jimmy: that's bad. >> i'm very up and down. anybody that kws me at all, i'm either, yeah, who cares, or i'm like, cutting out everything. i was on a 16-day cleanse and i went to a crazy diet that was c. and literally you would measure out portions on a little, you know, little weights. so depressing. >> jimmy: really? i bet. >> and in the morning i had half a grapefruit and that was pretty much it until 2:00 in the afternoon. i was training, as well. so i'm doing a lot of cardio. >> jimmy: why did you do this? >> i have no idea. >> jimmy: really. >> actually, i had a lot of injuries from all the movies, i've been overtraining, so i wanted to slim right d

you might be in greece, you might be in berlin, pretty much anywhere in europe. finding a train or a car or a rental vehicle that can get you here. that is proofing very challenging indeed. when people get here, they have seriously upset. >>> investigators in maryland are searching for clues into the the murder of a beloved principal who was a hero to his students. >> i don't know why anybody would want to kill him or harm him in any way. avenues good person, a good man. >> he was found dead in his silver springs home thursday after he failed to show up for school. today forensic experts and detectives are trying to figure out who was with him before he was murdered. norah o'donnell, nbc chief washington correspondent. norah, i understand police do not believe this was a random killing. >> reporter: that's right. there was no forced entry at this principal's home. this really is a very sad story because brian betts, the principal of the school, a model principal. he was handpicked by the head of the d.c. schools to transform this shaw middle school at garnet patt

as you mentioned, the archbishop of berlin, he in a statement today says he hopes this friday can behe church, a start it desperately needs. in germany there have been more than 250 cases of abuse claimed by children who grow up to be adults, who say as children they were abused, sexually abused by priests. just came back from st. peters square. despite the scandal, the line to get into the service the pope is holding at this hour is unbelievable. it curves around st. peters square. you see people from all countries all around the world who have come to celebrate the end of lent and the beginning of the easter season at the heart of the catholic church. but that heart is very sad, whether it is here or germany or ireland where they are all feeling the pain of this clergy abuse scandal. monica. >> it's interesting. not only are we hearing from bishops around the world. but also as you know the vatican came out saying the pope as head of state would be immune from legal action. today we're hearing from u.n. jeffrey robinson says there's no protection in court. he's saying the court wou

and even backing his campaign, obama chose to campaign in berlin. and that was really an extraordinary thing that he did but he was trying to transmit something to the american public. which is that bush has led the united states into isolation, internationally, and he, barack obama, wanted to in that isolation, to restructure the relationship between the united states and the rest of the world, by which even frequently the french and the germans. but that's the heartland of europe so that's not necessarily a bad thing to want. barack obama became enormously popular in europe. to the point where even the norwegians had heard of him and gave him the nobel prize. and his nobel prize, the way was decided was extraordinary, because it wasn't about peace. it's he changed the image of the united states, and by changing the image of the united states, it changed the way the world worked. which was a concession by the norwegian of the enormous power of the united states since the new italian prime minister was not going to have that affect on the world. but

from 1989, the french revolution to 1989 the fall of the berlin wall, or if you prefer, 1991, the formal dissolution of the soviet empire. human kind went through this age of ideology and it would frustrate me when president bush would say we're in a war of ideas with al qaeda. no, we are not. not at all. there's no ideology on either side. we are fighting for values. democracy is not an ideology. democracy is a technique of human self-governance that uses the tool of elections, and it can be adapted or maladapted to many ideologist. -- ideologies. we are fighting for values, for freedom, human rights, the rights of women and so forth. our enemies in an asymmetrical conflict, are fighting for me. -- for belief and our absolute refusal to acknowledge, speaking for washington, that we are fighting islamist fanatics, is debilitating, it cripples every effort we make. this is not met as a condemnation of islamists. i am a religious believer, but as an analyst, i must separate that. religions are what men and women make of it on this earth and we have a genius for perverting the word of god.

oklahoma city was a few years after the fall of the berlin wall.nd there was no simple bipolar world anymore. there were a lot of fist fights around the world based on ethnic, religious and cultural and long-standing geographicical regions. it was a hard time to get a stable position, we moved from an economy that built the bigge biggest infrastructure and to one that built new systems and new problems. there were more people trying to figure out where they fit in. more people that lived in confidence and optimism in the face of change. it's true that we see some of that today. since this country was born in reaction to abusive power by government, if you remember, that's what the boston tea party was about. it was about no taxation without representation. it was not about representation by people you didn't vote for and don't agree with but can vote out in the next election. and so a part of being an american has always been banging away at the government. you know when i was a young man in politics in arkansas, any time federal government did som

oklahoma city was a few years after the fall of the berlin wall. there were just a lot of fistfights around the world based on ethnic and religious and cultural and political and longstanding geographic grievances. but it was hard to get hold of anything. we moved from the cold war to an independent world full of positive and negative forces. we moved from an industrialized economy that built the greatest middle-class in history into an information age that open vast new vistas and open -- and post all kinds of new problems. more and more people had a hard time figuring out where they fit in. more and more people had a difficult time living with confidence and optimism in the face of change. it is true that we see some of that today. since this country was born, in reaction to the abuse of power by the government, if you remember, that's with the boston tea party was about -- it was about note taxation without representation. it was not about representation by people you did not vote for and did not agree with but can go out in the next election. -

the first times i ever thought about coal was in 1988 there was standing for the great fall of the berlin wall and i was in prague as a journalist and i was in prague overlooking the hills and i said this is one of the most beautiful cities on earth and its black. it's completely polluted by the fire plans, it just remained in the haze and the great writer told us that is your role as a writer, the struggle between memory and oblivion. your role as a writer is to recover that history otherwise we live in a state of these eliminated history like the soviet union in prague in the czech republic. slaves ran our coal industry. clean coal, slavery don't worry you can send your kids down here your sleeves to the mines. we have a 60% mortality rate. that is better than the industry. actual advertisments advertising for slaves had dropped like flies we would take good care of them at least for the year. this is the basis of the dirtiest industry we have, a dirty year, far dirtier than tobacco and that is what we have to have a reckoning with as we play golf and globally talk about clean coal to r

i think you quote him as saying there will be no dancing on the berlin wall we will not be triumphantand celebrate we will be careful and cautious and celebrate the under george bush seems to be the ideal stand crusader someone who wants to promote democracy the difference between the two same unnoticed in this book between the two george bush's. >> different styles and different approaches i had the pleasure to be in the office with both of them i was with a drugs are as a first on but this did as a journalist and talk-show host with the other president bush. there are stylistic differences and of course, there was the very different reactions to what happened in iraq and the first goal for he had more difficult issues to do with them hw. there was the interest of nation building but again i am a little bit skeptic but if this holds i think it is great. i remember during the purple some campaign it was a hard not to get excited about that. apart from our dna "the washington post" "new york times" interview some by living under a t.a.r.p. in haiti what is the solution? he just said fo

the berlin wall was about keeping people in. you don't hear people arguing against the great wall of china. it was designed to keep people out, not in. the barrier in israel has worked. the barriers on our southern border has worked. we have fencing down there in arizona that as near as i can determine, that section of fence, however short it is, it's three layers of fencing and has not been defeated by anyone. easier to go around the end than to go over and under. i don't suggest we build 2,000 miles of wall with sensors, monitoring and patroling. i suggest that we simply build a fence and build a wall until they quick going around the end. it may take 2,000 miles, may not. we build the 784 miles that was required by the secure fence act and need to have a smart immigration policy. here we are down into the downward spiral of our economy, this economy that has been referred to as the great recession and we are talking about granting amnesty to people, moving pieces of legislation that would legalize 12 million to 20 million peo

and their example led to the berlin wall coming down, led to country after country getting their own freedom and their own democracy and it was all started in a ship yard by the polish nation who believed in a cause that was right, in a cause that was just and believed that we are all creatures of god and god has given us that opportunity to have freedom. and because of that the whole world changed. because of the strength of the people of poland. and so tonight as we stand here in our own capitol of this nation we love so much, we want all of our friends of polish heritage to know and all of our friends who are in poland to know that we stand together with them, that we are as one and that they can always count on our being there whenever needed. ms. kaptur: the gentleman's words are so eloquent and i am reminded that in the resolution that was passed this afternoon here in the congress one of those who lost her life on that plane was anna who's the former dock worker whose firing in 1980 sparked the solidarity strike that ultimately overthrew the polish communist government and of

i think you quote him as saying to his press secretary look, there will be no dancing on the berlin wall. in other words, we're not going to be trying to go and celebrate. we'll be careful, cautious and realistic. the younger george bush seems to be much more than idealistic, a crusader, somebody who wants to promote democracy. and that tension between realism and idealism, both of which are audible strand in american foreign policy, seems, i noticed that this book, this contrast between the two george bushes. >> guest: certainly different styles, different approaches. i had the opportunity to say in the book to the home office for both of them. i work for the first president bush as his first drugs are. but this did as a journalist, radio talk show host with the other president bush. yeah, i mean, i think there are stylistic differences. of course, there was the very different reaction to what happened in iraq and what happened in the first gulf war. he had more difficult issue to deal with than h.e.w. there was a nationbuilding. again, something of a skeptic of that but i will be the t

european union, they just lost a lot of money, small why were een airports -- airlines like air bol -- berlin ryanair are short of money because they the get revenue. they're not flying. it could put the british economy into a mild recession, lrp europe is not growing, it's dead flat, its economy, and now with this travel stoppage, you could see the worst hit country, that's britain, back off a little into a very minor recession. it could have that impact. on american carriers, they've lost their bread and butter travel routes. america to europe is a wonderful money maker for american carriers. that's been shut down for five days, so they will feel some economic impact. but you know, martha, i think where it hurts most is in those passengers, hundreds of thousands of them, if not a million, who are stranded, because the airline doesn't pay for their hotel or food, the airline says look, this is a volcanic eresumption, we can't be responsible for that, it's not like a mechanical failure, we can't take responsibility, so we're not paying. some of these people who have been stranded for four, fi
