ok ok look but for many in south america this is just a colonial you two it's a colonial issue for a lot of people in south america right go ahead well well yeah. in so far as the argentinians would like to colonize the three thousand british citizens and her majesty's subjects currently living peacefully in these islands i want to go back to a point alex smith i think you misunderstood me slightly when i was saying that the issue about survival is not the great britain as a nation can survive with the loss of the falkland islands i was saying that the government of the day would fall if the falkland islands were ever taken now i do agree with you know there's not going to be a military there's not going to be military answer to this this is going to be resolved peacefully in the end i firmly believe ok look if i can stay with you it's been thirty years so why hasn't it been resolved and it looks like nobody on either side wants to resolve it well as far as the british government is concerned the situation is resolved they've made very clear that. it's a matter of self-determination

guantÁnamo began to seep the colony to, recognize the campaign. have been down the atlantic seaboard announced almost accurately that admiral vernon was the right to to cuba and forces had safe assured a village a small distance from the city. they detailed descriptions of guantÁnamo company transports north. a finest harbor i ever saw, a pleasant island far exceeding all the west indies has been in come a country late and with cattle groups of horsemen, a place is healthy and no one of good deeds with indian court in abundance and what are plenty and peer as good as any i've seen among us. these are some of the images calculated distracted that the leaker columnists anticipating another long winter. make the best of the way here one writer said for a make no doubt we shall in a very short time have quiet possession of first come first serve now or never for plantation of cuba. unfortunately for the americans and supporters, british land officers did not share the enthusiasm for the campaign that they mention. colonial troops over europeans if the

astounding figures replicated throughout the colony. lawrence washington was among the fortunate to return to the colony's securing vernon's place in american history. a stubborn case of tuberculosis accompanied him home. late in 1743, by the end of the decade ultimately killing him on july 26, 1752, at the age of 33. it was left to lawrence washington's half brother george to transform mount vernon from the solemn epitaph to a bungled military campaign in to the triumphant some elimination. the more mount vernon became associated with its new owner to further its connection to guantanamo bay receded. so that today guantanamo's place in american history is all but forgotten. guantanamo was there at the beginning and has been there ever since, reflecting and sometimes shaking aspirations and institutions of people who like to call themselves americans and of the american people to whom they have been so closely and controversially tied. so there's a taste of historical guantanamo. i would like to say a few words about where we are today.

in short, he had arrived in the very colonial society he now proposed to upend. along with the emotional security provided by his marriage and the social position occupied by the successful soldier, planter, and civic-minded gentleman, there is a third factor setting general washington apart from his younger self. almost in spite of himself, he had become a leader of men, and not just on the battlefield. his patriotism was not unrelated to his pocketbook. to modern ear, it has the sound of an oxymoron. but george washington was an established revolutionary, willing to sacrifice everything but honor in a war to ensure property rights as well as human rights. truth be told, washington was never so prickly as when he suspected others might be taking advantage of him. it made no difference if the culprit was a thieving speculator or a king on his throne at windsor. in the years immediately following his marriage, he paid little notice to the serpent in his garden, a british mercantile system that mocked his illusions of control. for with every foreign shipment marked

and we did even in the colonial period. two out of three white males could vote in most colonies. now, compare that to england which itself was considered a democratic state by european standards, one out of six adult males could vote in england. so by any standards whatsoever in the 18th century, we had the largest most democratic policies in the world. women, of course, did not vote yet. that's the on20th century, exce in some states. es especially blacks did not vo. at the time we had the largest electorate in the world in the 18th century. >> there was black people that owned property, but they were not allowed to vote? >> yes, in northern states, yes. they started -- they were voting in new york and pennsylvania at the outset, yes. if you were a free black and had property, you could vote. and women -- in new jersey for about nine years, women who had property could vote. that was taken away, and there was not a single protest from any woman. >> ray tillman. canadians today are taught that the u.s. revolution came about because we didn't want to pay our taxes which of course,

consider 3,000 miles distance between england and the colonies. it takes a month for a ship going east. the ship going east can ride the gulf stream. coming back, it takes often as long as two months or more. so if you send a letter or in the case of general thomas gauge, another of the main characters, if you send orders or requests for information, it takes a month to get there. somebody has to decipher it, sit down, answer it. that may take who knows how long and then two months to come back. that's a lot of time. there was always king george. and sometimes when the king receives information that riles him, he'll respond by targeting franklin rather than sending a letter that's going to take two months to get to the colonies. that puts franklin in a very interesting situation. he knows what's going on. but he also resents the fact that he's a target and really sort of galvanizes in his mind the corruption and the bankruptcy that is the english government. i mean his insight, plus, i like franklin because of his humor. one of the things about a

to be sure, young washington was a socially awkward aspirant to the colonial gentry, brave to the point of rashness, touchy where his honor was concerned, unsophisticated in matters of love. but even then he carried with him the seeds of sacrificial leadership. pregnant with character, this is washington at 22. the first of those three astonishing life-like figures. of washington, which anchored the exhibits in the reynolds education center here at mount vernon. here he is depicted in the forest, arguably his earliest true classroom. a skilled surveyor, stamping order on chaos by fixing his name to unchartered lands. washington was barely 15 when he pocketed his first 500 acres as a surveying theme. land he wrote about the time is the most permanent estate and is likely to increase in value. his attitude reflected a tobacco growing culture, an exhausted soil was the price of prosperity. thus, the unending quest for unspoiled lands to the west. along with the wealth and distinctions, such holdings bestowed in virginia. one wonders, did these compensate with emotions held from martha's so

one was colonialism, which separated cities, societies from each other, like french and british colonies or british colony in egypt and so all these countries, societies were separated from each other, the second abnormality was in the cold war, because north yemen was commnist, now it time to have a single ownership and throughout the cold war, because of the arab wars and because of the soviet type of governorance, there was a absence of link between the leaders and the people. and we said, it was a risky decision. it's always. now some people are surprised. as a former -- how we have to make a critical decision, usually they are long thinking, slow acting people. that is the image, or utopic as they claim to me that some of our foreign policies are. but, unique to, if you make an assessment and if you trust yourself you have to make courageous decisions and the leadership should show these decisions. yes, turkish foreign policy took a risk last year. today it's easy to say, it was normal to go to mu bbarak, some countries sided with the wrong side of the revolt. we took risks. why? be

. >> tintin orders the whole village around and behave like a colonial ruler. he tells them to get to work, but the villagers are tired and do not want to. he asks if they are not ashamed to let his stall work alone. the dog says, "get going, you lazy slobs." even the dog insults' the black people. >> he enjoyed reading the books and when he came to europe, he saw tintin and snowy very different. he himself feels he is treated differently because of his skin color. >> nowadays, the racism is much more subtle. people will say they like you. for instance, if they are renting out an apartment and you want to move in, they will take someone else instead because they have something against blacks. >> of belgium is full of reminders of the colonial era. a memorial to leopold the second occupies a prominent place in brussels. not only is the statue controversial, so it is his entire legacy, and his rule 100 years ago, what is now the democratic republic of congo was brutally oppressed and its people ruthlessly exploited. plundering the colony's natural resources in ri

that's why i'm glad i got a policy through the colonial penn program. it gives me peace of mind to know i can help my family with some of those expenses. you know, i've been shopping for life insurance. do you think they have coverage for me, something that would fit into my budget? yes. you can get permanent coverage for less than 35 cents a day. if you're between 50 and 85, your acceptance is guaranteed. you won't have to take a physical or answer any health questions. oh, really? with my health, i didn't think i'd qualify. you can't be turned down because of your health. plus, your costs will never go up and your coverage will never go down. okay. i'm convinced. i'm going to give them a call. are you between the ages of 50 and 85? did you think that quality insurance at an affordable rate is out of your reach? if you answered yes to these questions then you should call about the colonial penn program now. for less than 35 cents a day you can get affordable life insurance with guaranteed acceptance. there are no health questions or medical exam. you c

the legal colonies in the west bank are and there is see about sixty five percent of the entire west bank so that's actually the majority the reason behind arrangement by which it is really retains control over the vast majority of the occupied territory and it was in order to have a phased transition by which palestinians would gradually get more territory under their control and would become independent at the end of the process but this was seventeen years ago and area c. remains about the same size that it was seventeen years ago the palestinians never made it any progress towards independence in those seventy years and yet this area is still under israeli control and the international community is mostly accepting this fact right n. ow is. israel is threatening to demolish six hundred thousand euros worth of german donated solar panels why is it well this is just. actually thanks to a german organization called a medical wishing arranged a donation in the construction of these solar panels that we hear about this story because it's not a unique or special story in any way in fac

he did establish the church of england in those colonies. they were established churches. but he put right in the charter free, freedom of religion which was not the case in massachusetts and elsewhere. so it was, ironically, charles sort of put the stamp of approval on williams' ideas even though, obviously, the other ideas of the revolution went out the window. yeah. >> what did he maim of cromwellian's suppression? >> the question was, what did he make of cromwellian's suppression? he didn't care much for it. it made him feel quite awkward. he needed cromwell's support. as i said, he was the only person in massachusetts he was afraid of. if you know about cromwell's suppression, you know who henry vein was. you know he was the second most powerful person other than cromwell in england. hen rhode island -- henry, every day he stayed in sean's house and, gwen, that's a pretty good -- again, that's a pretty good ally. they bonded in an indian war in american, came to america, government of massachusetts, went back to england. and vane, of course, stood up to cromwell in pa

early in 1755, surveying his chances like a colonial ward healer, washington instructed the supporter in frederick county to conduct his own poll of local political opinion. quote, sound the pulse with an air of indifference and unconcern, without disclosing much of mine. in the end he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of voters still angry over his earlier impressment of horses with which to counter the french military threat. his first defeat at the polls was to prove no less instructive than the affair at jumenville glen, the humiliation of ft. necessity or the shadowy romance conducted mostly in his imagination with his best friend's wife. few men have profited more handsomely from their mistakes than george washington. as virginia and itsrenewed thei to expel the french, washington's preoccupation with rank, a mark of youthful insecurity, yielded to the unquestioned bravery and rapid response with which he tried to forestall the deadly route of general edward braddock's westward march. washington had talked about the slow pace of the road building for his part the top lofty

by the time of yorktown, virtually nothing remained of the glory-seeking young colonial who had boasted of his exploits and thirsted after recognition by the very military establishment he would go on to humiliate. in october 1781, at his greatest moment of martial triumph, washington advised his victorious army against unseemly crowing over their defeated foe. imagine the scene. the armies lined up and the americans needed to say, after all they had been through, in a mood to celebrate, to rub it in, to rejoice in their victory. and the cheers rose spontaneously from thousands of throats. and then washington appeared astride his great white charger, riding up and down the american lines, telling them "posterity will huzzah for us." truthfully enough. first, however, he must put down a threatened uprising by his own troops. in march of 1783, he threw his accumulated prestige on the scales of republican government by first reprimanding and then shaming elements of the army so aggrieved over congress's failure to pay them for their past service or guaranteed future pensions that there was

all the ministers of the massachusetts colony were present and all of these days in court and try asthey might they couldn't reduce him from any of his errors come end of quote. he was banished. when you were banished from massachusetts your and execution if he returned after banishment. they were quite serious about banishment. they made one concession. winter was coming and they said okay, we will not enforce the order until spring and in return will you stay silent? to this, he did agree. this was a specific deal and he agreed to it. but in his own home, his castle, his home among his friends he talked about the same issues he was banished for and the word of this got to boston and they ordered a dozen soldiers who would, of veterans from the religious war in europe and press them immediately on the ship back to london where he would immediately have been sent to prison for life almost certainly after having his years cut off and life in english prison was a life sentence was very much a short sentence, not even the rats ate well an english prison. windber however remained persona

all the ministers of the massachusetts colony were present they could not reduce them for many of his errors. he was banished. banished from massachusetts, rid of execution if he returned after banishment. they're quite serious this was a specific explicit deal with the agreed to. among his friends he did talk to them about the same issues. word of this got to boston. they ordered a dozen soldiers, rough men with combat veterans from the religious wars in europe, arrested them and put them immediately on a ship back to london where they immediately were sent to prison for life almost certainly after having their ears caught of and the time removed. like in english prison was a life sentence, generally a very short sentence, not even the rats a well. winthrop, however, was a friend of williams and sent him a warning, a blizzard delayed the soldiers. williams disappeared, fled into the blizzard and never saw salem again. he spent that winner he never was quite a will to except it had never believed he could have happened that his friends d colleagues had banished him. he could understan

tomorrow's space colonies might look something like this. within a great big huge tire, a couple of kilometers wide, and this thing would be spinning at a constant rpms, and people out here will walk around. if you took a regular balloon tire from a car or a bicycle and you put some ants in there, and you just took the tire and you just dropped it off a cliff, what would the ants do? the ants would just free-fall, it wouldn't push against them anymore. all the supports gone and they would just all fall. and they would say, hey wow, someone cut out the gravity, honey. but if you take that wheel and you spin it, and then you drop it, the ants will all get thrown on the outside, isn't that true? and the ants will think, there is a force pulling them out, but no, it's a force holding them in the circle. if all of a sudden there is a little hole there, the ants keep going, but the ants pulled here. so the ants are pulled, pulled, pulled. people inside a space colony, these people right here, head, feet, okay. this thing is rotating like this. and

neo colonialism where the west is basically saying that these countries are unable to govern their own people we need to come in and teach them how to do democracy ok hurry problem i mean what occurred i tend to agree with you patrick because the more there is these creeping in interventions into into syria and we know that from from lebanon there are arms going in. to syria right now that's been established ok and it's and is this is another mission creep here i mean once this whole process of regime change and that's the ultimate goal right here it's just going to it won't go through the united nations they'll be a coalition of the willing and then western powers and their friends in the church and the chattering league or the arab league as it's officially known will support that the term neo colonialism. you know i will say and i'll pretty pretty directly admit one of the one of the worst parts of course with the united states' involvement in iraq was. well there are lots of problems that we could talk about of course but one of the most important problems was that it. did for the

and yet, they thought that this little colonial rebellion had world-shattering importance. that it was the most important event in the history of the world. and that it would spread democracy around the world. and when the french revolution broke out ten years later they had no doubt they had created it. of course some of the french revolutionaries, the leaders, lafayette thought so too. he sent the key of bastille,

term neo colonialism. you know i will say and i'll pretty pretty directly admit one of the one of the worst parts of course with the united states' involvement in iraq was. well there are lots of problems that we could talk about of course but one of the most important problems was that it. deal legitimized for the near future the idea of intervening even when it's appropriate. you know i don't even want to use the term regime change because the sort of baggage that carries along but. i don't think because there was those sorts of strategic ideological concerns of the rock that it needs to be necessarily made that that's what the united states and other countries are talking about now i don't think this i don't think talk about intervention in the syrian context needs to be the same sort of conversation i don't think it necessarily is neo colonialism that we're talking about but having said that i think we can use the the iraq context to bring up a really important point here which is of course one of the
