patrick kennedy, the son of ted, spoke to abc's christiane amanpour about his own struggles with addiction, after he crashed his car while a u.s. congressman. >> i don't recall much about the night. i do know that i was under the spell of addiction. and when you're under the spell of addiction, you're just an accident waiting to happen. >> reporter: many in patrick's generation have worked valiantly to carry on their parents' legacy of public service. robert kennedy jr among them. he's a passionate and ut spoken environmentalist who has fought legal battles on behalf of a dozen franchises. after 16 years of marriage, he and his wife had separated. she had struggled mightily with alcohol abuse over the past several years. tonight multiple sources say she was found by a maid in the garage of her home in new york, apparently having hanged herself. mary richardson kennedy leaves behind four children ages 11 to 17. the richardson family has said in a statement, that, quote, our beloved sister will be sorely missed and our hearts go out to her children who she loved without reservation. >>> up n

back to anderson. >> i'm here with christiane amanpour.o one in the bush and obama administration liked to use the termination building but we have been nation building in afghanistan, attempting to at least. the question now, is the afghan nation ready to stand on its own? are the security forces, the police, the afghan national army ready? >> precisely that and as fareed said yes that is the message the white house wants to deliver the war is over but is it? we have at least another year before the u.s. forces are there. how many will stay to beat back the taliban. they are not defeated no matter what spin anybody wants to put on them. there are areas of progress but in the east of the country they're still there. what about the relationship with pakistan? absolutely crucial if the united states wants to leave afghanistan in any sense of reasonable security, what about pakistan? that is a relationship u.s. and pakistan that has to be repaired and it's not. >> you can't fight the war in afghanistan without essentially fighting the war in

abc's global affairs anchor, christiane amanpour, talked about just that on "nightline." >> absolutely vital that the president did what he did. that there will be an american presence, even after combat troops come home. that terribly dangerous vacuum after the soviets were defeated, led to the taliban, led to al qaeda and led to the 9/11 plot and all the violence afterward. now, the challenge for the president is to make sure that the taliban is either defeated or there's a negotiated settlement. but that doesn't look like it's bearing fruit at the moment. there are no negotiations. and they have to have the safe havens in pakistan neutralized. and that's going to take getting the relationship between the u.s. and pakistan back on track. it's broken right now. >>> so, how do they fly the world's most recognizable plane right into an active war zone? well, abc news has a reporter with the president who says few people knew about the trip. they showed up late monday night to a back gate at andrews air force base, finding a completely dark air force one. the seven-hour stay in afghanist

here's abc's christiane amanpour. >> reporter: the cycle of violence in syria seems to be spinning out of control. u.n. observers discovered dead civilians, hands tied behind their backs, shot, execution style. two shrouded bodies were placed by their families on the hoofed this u.n. vehicle. they want the world to know. an army shelling was reported close to the town where just days ago over 100 villagers were executed. including more than 30 children. >> i think we may be beginning to see the wheels coming off of this bus. >> reporter: and on this tribute page, a graduate film student from syracuse university who was killed by syrian government forces while filming this week's attacks. a fullbright scholar is a native of syria who went back to his homeland to document his people's struggle. meantime, syrian dictator bashar al assad is still clinging to the excuses he gave in an exclusive interview to barbara walters back in december. >> do you think that your forces crack down too hard? >> they are not my forces. they are -- the military forces belong to the government. i don't own t

. >> john allen spoke with christiane amanpour said that u.s. troops will remain a force until 2014 and the u.s. will help to determine the long term presence with nato. >>> in syria, deadly clashes are a daily occurrence despite the international monitors on the ground, and new video shows al qaeda capitalizing on the unris. in this clip, you can see a bomb attack and raid against a military outpost. a senior jordanian official says that the terror outfit is behind them all. barbara starr is in alman, and you, barbara, got exclusive access to sensitive areas in jordan including the syrian border, and tell us about that. >> absolutely, kyra. the jordanians have granted cnn really extraordinary access here. a couple of days we went up to the syrian border north of the capital of amman where we are talking to you now, and we were able to walk the no-man's-land between jordan and syria, and the barbed wire, and the guard t towers, and yet, hundreds of syrian taxis laden with goods and food and commodities coming into jordan, because there is still

i was a little stunned last night watching abc news to hear christian amanpour i think stepping over reporter to being a commentator, said that the only options left she said, she said the only options left were either arming the rebels or arming syria. >> i don't think that's true at all. there is a large spectrum of things you can do to bring increased pressure and to further isolate the regime. you could cut off air traffic for example. you could cut off bank accounts, limit the travel of senior officials. you could do many of the things we're doing for iran. declare the center bank of syria cutoff from the electronic transfer system. >> bill: did we do that yesterday? there was talk about it. >> there was talk about it. none of this has happened. there is a whole lot of things you can do before you have to get to military action. >> a lot of that is aimed at russia to increase russia, this is a pariah regime and they should no longer support it. many people feel once russia pulls the club, you could convince assad to step down. you have to understand the scenario that's desired h
