is. >> woodruff: why has it persisted that way, deborah kalb? >> i think the in addition to the idea that it was the only war that the u.s. lost, it also played an important role in a lot of these president's lives and there's three different sort of mini generations of presidents that we look at in the book, the first are the ones who are more the world war ii or just missed serving in the world war ii generation. they are already serving as governors and congress during the war. it was more their children's generation who was affected but for a number of these presidents, the baby boomers, it was a real life decision about whether to go serve or not that really carried through their entire life. we go into a lot of detail about that, for example with george w. bush and we have a chapter on john kerry and the swift boats so now we're at the third generation with president obama who's too young to serve. >> woodruff: but even with this third generation, as you say, president obama too young to have served in vietnam, he read about it, studied it

deborah small. deborah without a doubt really is the most articulate and passionate person on issues dealing with drug policy and war on drugs. you know, worldwide. i just have to say that. at can you talk to us about just how we got where we are, just some of the history and connections and parallels that you see between alcohol prohibition of yesterday end drug prohibition today, as well as the politics around both. >> thank you all for being here and thank you, judge burnett, those like it perfect segue to what i want to talk about. [inaudible] [laughter] >> it's been a while, a longtime. i want to go back to jesse jackson's remarks at the very beginning because he challenged us by saying that rather than thinking of the drug were as a failure, that, in fact, it's a success. it's a success of the things that were set out to do. which was about not producing drugs but about policing for people. and i think we have to remember that because if you think about it we already had a time in our country

deborah? >> barbara, is there any suggestion that there was either some sort of plan under way or because of his presence there, al qaeda is or was getting stronger and stronger? because obviously this is key. it's not just somebody who was wanted in a past attack but somebody who could have been wanted in a future attack as well. >> they're describing him as a key operational plane, essentially perhaps the head of al qaeda in east africa in the somalia region, in the horn of africa. the cia director leon panetta testified just this week that inside sew mall yeah was on the rise, that they had perhaps hundreds of foreign fighters at their disposal and that they were looking to get affiliated across the water there with al qaeda in yemen. so if you put these two countries together, which are both simply in terrible shape, essentially have collapsing or no central government, rising al qaeda organizations, this becomes the kind of threat that is of great concern to the united states, the possibi

deborah?ausch rarks as an operational guide does it suggest he was building a network and is there there any suggestion that they were uniting to form a 1-2 p hf 2 po in that region? >> that is the concern. they were concerned about this very point. leon panetta said in written documents to capitol hill that al qaeda's affiliate in somalia but an al qaeda affiliate organization on the rise, may have a couple of hundred of foreign fierts at its disposal and, yes, is trying to link up across the water with al qaeda in yemen. they want to recruit them to come to the state and start attacks here. this is not just some far-off big threat. a lot of concern about what al qaeda in this region may do even though apparently their leader's been killed in this attack, plenty of other people out there in the region they're worried about. deborah? >> all right. perhaps disrupting it at least for a little while. barbara starr, thanks so much. always fascinating. appreciate it. >>> and some other internationa

ktvu's deborah villalon is at the fire station where both firefighters worked. deborah? >> reporter: they are memorial eyed here inside and out. you can see the black sash draped on the balcony and the flowers inside reflecting the sadness of this station and the city. the gear the two men used every day, their coats, their helmets are arranged on chairs in the lobby. they say everything. >> we are going to try to piece this whole thing together. >> reporter: at the fire scene this assistant chief told us the investigation in its third day will take as long as it needs to because of the deaths and the desire for answers. >> so far we looked at everything was done be textbook just like the book. it was going perfect. and then the thing blew. >> reporter: blew into a fireball. the men downed by a blast of super-heated temperatures. perhaps linked to the four storey lay-out creating a chimney effect. >> what is extremely difficult for us is this was a single family dwelling. it was not a high-rise and not something that one would typically expect to have two fatalities at.

so where is the recovery, deborah? >> it's in hiding at the moment. we're in what most economists are calling a soft patch. the economy is still growing and we're still adding jobs but not anywhere near the number we need. housing prices fell. manufacturing, which had been drivering the recovery stagnated and for the first time in six months it started sed shedding jobs. you're seeing more than one in three unemployed people have been out of work for more than a year and 14 million americans want to find a job and can't. the economy that had been gaining momentum has stagnated and it's unclear whether this is temporary, caused by hiccups, ert quake, the commodity prices have been rising. the long slog ahead of us seems pretty high. gwen: it also seems like a cumulative effect of all things, whether or not someone can argue if there's a slow recovery, people begin to internalize the notion that we're in bad shape. they can't buy a house, don't want to buy a house. >> the psychological impact is huge. one of the problems during the financial crisis was

deborah potter reports. >> reporter: one iconic image of the paris that tourists come to see is notredame cathedral, a centuries-old symbol of roman catholicism in france. but inside this catholic church in paris, the sparse congregation reflects a wider truth -- christianity is on the wane across western europe, and nowhere is its decline more visible than in france. >> the eldest daughter of the church, that's what we were called. today, saying you believe in a relign takes a real identification of faith. today, the number has really diminished. >> 20 years ago, about 80% of french people described themselves as catholic. today, it's just over half and less than 5% most of them older regularly go to mass. father briere blames a growing culture of consumerism and a catholic hierarchy that he says has been too rigid, failing to draw young people into the church. that's true across europe, but france is a special case, a country where religion is widely seen as a source of trouble. if france had an official religion it would be "laicite" or secularism, a principle that's enshrined in t

deborah villalon is live on broadway where plywood went up today on some business windows. >> reporter: well, we are at the studio where you can see there are sympathies for oscar grant in plain view but plasters on plywood protecting the windows here. >> we also found the tmobile store on broadway boarded up. the manager says the building owner took the precaution this morning because of damage last year. outrage over mehserle's case erupted into rioting and looting, causing hundreds of thousands t.v. dollars of damage downtown. a footlocker shoe store and a family-owned beauty supply store were especially hard-hit. since then the beauty store has installed metal barriers to keep its merchandise safe. many people we talk to note the aggitate tore -- aggitate tores were from outside oakland. they hope the protest stays peaceful. >> time has not healed the windows but i think that some of that has dissipated. but there is still high anxiety especially among the merchants in this area because of the fact that whether or not they have a riot or not is always going to affect business. peop
