sid refers at one point to a philosophical dispute between t.r. and wilson on, quote, the appropriate balance between rights and duties and refers at another point to, quote wilson's defense of natural rights and claims that wilson, quote, read the declaration of independence. now is true in one sense that wilson did celebrate the declaration of independence. but when he did so he did it by first insisting that americans, quote, not repeat the process. that is to say that part that enshrines natural rights as the permanent in the government. he made, wilson made his insistence repeatedly and in fact i don't believe that it's an exaggeration to say that the primary would mission when he wrote about the government was to undercut and eliminate natural rights principles. his most important book on the principles of government state was written specifically for the purpose of on doing in the american mind of the notion that the origin of government could be found in the rights of nature. in sid's bucha most of the connections between willson and natur

deepening a lasting friendship between our people. as i have said, there are many difficult days ahead of afghanistan. we face a determined and ruthless enemy, but we go forward with confidence because we have something our adversaries do not -- we have a commitment to seek a picture of justice and peace and opportunity for the afghan people. we have the courage and result of men and women from afghanistan and our international coalition who are determined to help of ken's realize that future. i want to acknowledge the extraordinary sacrifices that are being made by american troops and civilians in afghanistan every single day. solidarity today sent an unmistakable message to those who would stand in the way of afghanistan progress. they may threaten an murder its people, but we will work to protect the afghan people. they will try to destroy, but we will continue to help build after incapacitate -- build afghan capacity. they will try to drive us apart but we will partner with the afghan people for the long term, for a future of grea

so, is the strain between the u.s. and afghanistan really a thing of the past? we get two points of view: from zalmay khalilzad, who was u.s. ambassador to afghanistan and iraq during the bush administration. he's now a counselor at the center for strategic and international studies. and from alexander thier, the director for afghanistan and pakistan at the united states institute of peace, a nonpartisan group that promotes conflict resolution. he worked for the u.n. in afghanistan during the 1990s, and from 2002 to 2004. ambassador khalilzad, when the president said that this widely documented tension with afghanistan had been overstated, was he right? >> well, i think the president recognizes that things have gone a little too far between afghanistan, president karzai and the united states, in recent months. i think president karzai also recognized that, and i think they have both agreed to turn a new page, to work together to make progress, but i think today was a start in order to reestablish the kind of partnership that existed at times in the past between

so the difference between left and right can't be that great, or nazi. i has to be rethought of as a left-wing matter, not a right-wing ideology. another philosopher thought totalitarianism and there aren't great differences between the left ring and right wing, they're all totalitarian ideas. and i think what all these thinkers were getting at were summed up by george orwell, when he said a left jack boot to the head feels as painful as a right jack boot to the health there's -- jack boot to the heat. so they're very similar. what i think those ideas miss, though, is that they were both totalitarian communism and totalitarian nazism. used the state as a means, yes, but to a very different end. what was motivating the left was the pursuit of a rigorous equality. what was motivating nazism was the pursuit of other very rigorous racial hierarchy, concepts that what is important to nazism in particular, if we want to place it at a far right-wing theory, that there's this rigid racial hierarchy barked by law in a variety of weighs. so both systems are totali

is there a tension between those two concepts?ere is a date by which some troops may be removed and yet, an enduring partnership that we have committed to, that strategic partnership. this is the discussion. give us your impression on how this fits. >> i will start from our side. i think the president said it very well in the press conference yesterday. we are aiming toward july, 2011, to begin the process of transitioning security in some parts of the country to afghan security forces. it is a condition-based decision. we are impressed by the increasing capacity of the afghan security forces and both the defense minister and the interior minister on the military and police side reported the progress but also talked about the challenges. we see the july, 2011 date as another date to import -- to aim for and we believe it can be the beginning of the security transition. the enduring partnership will last long beyond any security transition, any withdrawal of combat forces overtime. we are committed to a strategic partnership with a

and so that kind of learning between the united states and china, between the united states and china and between india and china is really critical over the next 10 years. it is a big place as well if you think about it from the standpoint of a governor where they can learn about international diplomacy and economic diplomacy in a very hands-on way. ...forget that when bill clinton. he really learned to talk about the global economy. >> and then finally,s issue of nuclears different. china is ramping up quickly. it obviously has an important non-proliferation side. it has important financing nengss to it? it is a hugeulatory challenge? ey have announced they want to double the amount of nuclear regulators in the country. we have enormous expience with that in the united states. there is concern t we haven't replenished our own concern because civilian nuclear reactor s. as many as 30 permit applications for new nuclear reactors in the next ten ars. hug >> this is a huge area fora croperation between the united states and chopinuaati and one would encourage very much. so with that, i'

the would argue the big issues between the u.s. and china are not the big issues between u.s. and china, there global issues. they are more important than either country alone and cannot be solved by their country alone. perform the mental experiment of 2005 were the united states said we cannot keep up these current-account deficits and we're going to change quite abruptly our fiscal policies so we cut our expenditures relative to our income quite drastically. we're going to go in the balance very quickly. if nobody in the rest of the world had done a thing, there would have been a big world wide recession. if the chinese decided to cut down without anyone else doing so, we would have their needs to be a mechanism that can work for both sides and both sides are not the same countries overtime. one of the interesting things is much of the rhetoric about china now is on trade and exchange rates is not that to verbally heard about japan in the 1980's. in japan -- in the 1980's, japan was the new kid on the block. everything you heard about manufacturing in the u.s. going on was

this is one of the differences between history and the law. you see, when we think of evidence, we think of law. but there are great differences. you see, the purpose of law, at least in civilized countries, is not so much to establish justice in a fixed way. it is the purpose of law must be be a limitation of injustice is. and the purpose of history is not, it cannot be to fix the truth, no matter how small the detail, no matter how, about how small a detail, but to eliminate untruths. and to be leaving, -- believe me, in the enormous cathedral of history, including works that professional historians have written, the are plenty of untruths currently. and to eliminate them, at least in wars, to liquidate them, to dismiss them is something very important. now, the second world war now ended 65 years ago, and it left a curiously large legacy. and by legacy i don't mean its consequences. consequences have been enormous amount of both, issues a happens with every decor. there are all kinds of consequences, some of them very long range, and some o

a deal between brown and clegg or a deal between cameron and clegg? >> well, you must think i'm an idiot to ask me that question. i mean, the basic facts are that the electorate have given a strong mandate but not an outright victory to david cameron. so he has obviously the first port of call. he is holding the position of having the largest number of mp's and the largest number of votes. that is by any standards a starting point. the question is, can we widen that government out to involve others? only he can decide that. but nick clegg has made it clear he will talk to him because he has got the strongest mandate which nick clegg defined as having the largest number of mp's and the largest number of votes. so i don't know why the bbc is spending its whole time about the labour party and the labour government. the issue is who is the electorate supporting? >> in the case of the occupancy of number one procession is nine/tenth of the law? >> no, it's not the complete travesty the constitution. at the moment gordon brown is a caretaker. i'm sure he wi

between this treaty and no agreed verification mechanism on russia's strategic nuclear forces, between this treaty and no legal obligation for russia to maintain its strategic nuclear forces below an agreed level, and as secretary gates has pointed out, every previous president who face to this choice has found that the united states is better off with a treaty then without one. the united states senate has always agreed. the 2002 moscow tree was approved by a vote of 95-0. in 1991 start treaty was approved by 93-6. more than two years ago, president bush began the process that has led to the new start treaty we are discussing today. it has already received bipartisan support in testimony before this committee. as the chairman and the ranking member acknowledged, former secretary james schlesinger, secretary of defense for nixon and ford and secretary of energy for president carter declared it is obligatory for the united states to ratify it. today, i would like to discuss what the new start treaty is and what it is not. it is a treaty that if ratified would provide stability, transpar

i think here you said the potential the partnership between the united states and china.this is not a g-2. however important our two countries are, we need the cooperation of all of the systemic international players. the prospects for dealing, both with the short-term challenges in the crisis as well as the long-term challenge of sustainable global economic growth, they simply cannot meet. both countries did step up and do their part. china was a clear player in the financial crisis. this was the occasion of the president's first meeting with president hu was in london for the g-20 meeting. now we needed to turn to the elements that will make the best recovery sustainable over the long term. there requires china to recognize the shift to more consumption in a service based economy. that is in china's interest as well as the interest of the global economy. and the greasy some signs that the chinese leadership understands that in sight. -- i think we see some signs that the chinese leadership understands me to resolve long term debt. that connects to the question of domest

the united states and china, between the united states and india, between india and china, is reallycritical over the next 10 years. if you think about it from the standpoint of a governor, where they can learn about international diplomacy and economic diplomacy in a very hands-on way. people forget that when bill clinton was governor he did a number of trade missions with china. he really did learn to talk about the global economy. this is where governors could learn to talk about not just the global economy but the global environment. finally, this issue of nuclear is very critical. china is ramping up its nuclear technology quite quickly. it obviously has an important non-proliferation side. has important financing dimensions to it. it is a huge regulatory challenge for china. they have announced that they want to double the number of nuclear regulators in the country. we have enormous experience with that in united states. there has been some concern that we have not replenished our own next generation of nuclear scientists because nuclear reactors have gone out of style in the

it is important to maintain the dialogue between our military. upon iran, -- on iran, the strategy that the obama administration has had, which is to reach out to iran and demonstrate our willingness and to seek a diplomatic solution to cover differences, particularly on the nuclear question, has proven successful in not inducing iran to agree to the steps we think it needs to take, that at least we are serious about demonstrating looking for diplomatic situations. putting the onus on iran to make their updates. we are also seeking cooperation in sending a message to iran that its actions are not supported by the international community and needs to work effectively with us or will subject themselves to significant new costs. we saw that last fall in the important decisions taken by the iaea board of governors. now as we move forward in the security council, following up on the p5 +1 process. while we have not fully digested our systems to precisely the action of the security council should take, we have seen meetings and that a growing list -- w
