then it expanded to cambodia, which is actually the most intense bombing in history. following henry kissinger's immortal phrase, anything -- anything that flies against anything that moves, those were the orders handed down by kissinger from his boss to the air force, and the bombing, brief period, just a couple years, we now know reached the level of all allied bombing in the pacific region, the entire pacific region during world war ii, including the two atom bombs, all on a remote peasants poor, peasant society. a lot of consequences to that. very ugly ones, but finally more or less ended. but it didn't end, as fred pointed out. the effects of the chemical warfare continued, and will continue. soon turned very quickly, turned into crop destruction. major war crimes. fred can take a lot more about this than i can, so i won't go on with it. just add one more word about it. there are serious consequences for not paying attention to what we have done in the past. one of them is just moral. if we are incapable of facing up to our own history, we are in trouble morally,

multilateral trade rules which are the sort of least common denominator to all our members are whether it's cambodia or the european union. all on top of that there are bilateral agreements. which europe japan china india. us have or which go farther than the degree which has been multilaterally accepted in the world trade organization so is this a good thing or a bad thing is a very good question very difficult question to answer in a way it's a good thing because it opens trade lol and after all our business being to open trade in old up to increase the potential of the way for economy is ease as well as served by a bilateral trade opening as it is by a multi outraged over opening so that's the good side if on the contrary a buyout through agreement leads to restrict trade not least for instance if you agree on regulatory standards which would be by that too and not multilateral and then it can be a problem so it's not all black or white them. depends very much on what their reasons are in these bilateral negotiations you know once russia has joined the world trade have shrunk my expectation is th

seems to me when i began this debate overwhelmingly clear that while not see is them in china and cambodia certainly has religious elements why is that an interesting claim? the governing apparatus and ideology no matter what hiller has to say about his division -- division to the warrior like christ involves the proposition for those and their entourage negative and no power greater than their own. they were restrained by nothing and we saw the consequences. you may say perhaps truly in their hearts of parts they adopted the rituals of communion especially after an arduous day murdering innocent women in the fields of poland could be true. i don't deny that but we must ask ourselves of this is to be an intellectual serious discussion if it is not the worst tyranny of mankind of course, they were. that goes without saying but if something fundamental had changed to make these atrocities possible. yes. there was. i have argued as well it is is the position and i have given you my reasons. finally i have argued atheism has removed from the human context an obligation based on the feeling imp

troops invade cambodia and try to disrupt supply lines. early in the nixon presidency, the war seem to be expanding, not winding down. this outraged the anti-war movement and gave mcgovern more emphasis to run against nixon. later as it came closer to the election, nixon understood he needed to start disengaging american troops so that by 1972, there were only a couple hundred thousand combat troops in vietnam. as mcgovern was making the decision to run, he thought nixon was escalating the war, not winding it down. >> 1971, the pentagon papers or first published. what is the impact of this? >> the pentagon papers were not as revealing as they were said to be. a lot of things in the pentagon papers were known. it gave more credibility to what publicthe time nixon's failing again to protest of the vietnam war. the impression now is that the country was totally in uproar against the war in vietnam in the late 1960's. it really was not. it was split. >> you have the 1970 anti-war contest -- protests, the can -- kent state shootings, those kind

the regime that came closest to achieving equality was in cambodia. they killed 40% of their population in the killing fields. who among you is equal? i do not believe in equality. i think it is an evil idea, an awful idea. when the founders talked about equality, they talk about equality for the law. in those days, if you were an aristocrat and you were accused of murder, the aristocrat on a much lighter sentence. what the founding fathers objected to was that kind of inequality. the government should treat everybody the same. the marketplace is going to treat us all different because we bring different things to the marketplace. that is what makes it fun. >> i think we have our clash in terms of what the role of government might be, at least in terms of outcomes relative to wealth. let me turn to a point on which i think i perceive some agreement between our debaters, and that may be the role of the government in regards to national security. if you wish to throw in law enforcement, i would invite you to do that as well. this is it the that the one
