we received a statement from the board of directors of the central asia institute acknowledging that no royalties or income from greg mortenson's book sales or speaking engagements, but the board says the books and the speeches are an integral part of its mission, by raising public awareness and generating contributions, and it claims that mortenson has personally contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the organization, but the american institute of philanthropy is not persuaded. >> i don't think the charity's getting a fair share here, based on the financial reports that i've reviewed. >> do you think the contributors are being misled? >> i think so. >> and so does jon krakauer, who says it's been going on for a long time. >> in 2002, his board treasurer quit, resigned, along with the board president and two other board members and said, "you should stop giving money to greg." >> did he say why? >> he said, in so many words, that greg uses central asia institute as his private atm machine, that there's no accounting; he has no receipts. >> over the years, a half a dozen sta

encouraged nationalistic responses to world events particularly in its near neighbors whether in central asia russia or particular more recently in the south china sea the islands of japanese japanese islands you know what you do that's a difficult tire to riot and once you let it out of its cage it can spin out of control and the new leaders of china they're most worried about domestic spill and they need to keep that economy moving in order to control their domestic population and nationalism could be a very destructive force for the soul of the harmony that this new leadership seeks to. keep in place jonathan how does the new leadership bounce those two issues continuing to grow the economy but you have more of an activist foreign policy i don't want to use the word aggressive but activist well i think first and foremost it's very important to stress that in the last decade or two decades or so political so used to be in control of nationalism i think nowadays we are arriving at a turning point at which nationalism risks to get in control of politics and not the least foreign policy for me

central asia the us military presence and continuing military operations are explained by the desire to benefit from occupying these countries it's clear that the us is there because it wants their natural resources it's clear that the us policy is very much driven by economic interests. so you think the uprisings in libya tunisia egypt or syria or not brought about by grassroots movements calling for more freedom and civil rights. i think they would and they have my full support these countries faced serious social problems which triggered the uprisings in the first place but the trigger for the problems themselves was external we need to uncover the real reason for the unrest for popular discontent how did it come to be if it's rooted in the policies that these countries carried out the policies prescribed by international financial institutions mainly the international monetary fund and the world bank these institutions are nothing more than washington's was used by the ruling elite to push to its financial interests that they seek to profit from these countries financial flows an

are the result of this rain shadow effect-- the mojave in the united states, the gobi desert in central asia. western south america has a similar situation. we have a chain of mountains down the west coast-- the andes-- which serve as a barrier forming this rain shadow. another factor that plays an indirect role in the formation of deserts is plate tectonics. the position of the continents in the polar regions or the equatorial regions or the subtropical regions, of course, is a function of plate tectonics. as an example, africa, 250 million years ago, in permian times, was much farther south, near the south pole. what we call the kalahari desert now was glaciated at that time. that wasn't long ago. that was only about 5% of geologic time. in the southwestern united states, too, there is evidence of a once widespread desert that existed 200 million years ago. fossil dunes are preserved in the upper wall of the grand canyon and in the sandstones of zion national park. the varied surfaces of the shifting sand dunes appear as crisscrossing sets of beds. their large size and coloration from the

another part of the world, like east asia, it was in terms of what those countries in east asia mean to the central challenge, which was waging the war on terrorism or dealing with these wars. and yet, if you go to a country like indonesia, this is a country that you put on a map, that goes from california to bermuda. it is huge. enormous population. and to introduce indonesia on as a bit player of the overall issue of the global war on terrorism, it didn't sit too well in indonesia. so i think part of the challenge was to work with these countries in and of themselves, and not just as instruments, but something that was going off in another part of the world. i came to the job via being ambassador in korea, and i walked into a meeting that i felt was going to be with steve hadley, and connie rice joined the meeting. and both steve and connie said to me, our country has been going through two wars, and now we need some diplomats. and i think they made it very clear that we really need to start camping down some issues of the world. we just can't have everything blowing up in our faces. and one of t
