in occupied east timor. 12, 1991, inanition troops fired on thousands of unarmed timorese civilians gathered at the santa cruz cemetery in the capital of east timor dili. ,at least 270 were killed. it was a turning point. at least one third of the population over that 17 year period was killed. 200,000 people from 1975-1999 when indonesia in 1975 illegally invaded east timor. journalist alan there and i witnessed and survived the massacre 30 years ago today. they beat us, fractured his skull, and we got out that day to report about the massacre to stop the killing. we did not succeed. today we go back to that day 30 years ago as we feature an extended excerpt of the documentary we produced. >> i lost one sister and two brothers. >> it was 10 days before i was to give birth. the army was shooting people and they would die at our feet. we could not stop to help them. >> sign-up families that were totally wiped out. >> two american newsmen badly beaten, mr. allan nairn and ms. amy goodman. amy: the indonesian a

war in the middle east. there was also concern over the oil embargo that happened after the yom kippur war war that wreaked havoc on the u.s. economy. one of the reasons we ended up winning the election against ford. he did not want to have a repeat of another arab oil embargo. i think it is fair to say that as great as it was kissinger's incremental policy of is warily withdrawal has really run its course. israel was not going to make more incremental withdrawals unless it got something very significant like peace. carter also as an engineer had the notion not only on foreign-policy but domestic, a comprehensive agreement. he wasn't satisfied with the bilateral peace agreement. he told me he surprised himself. martin mentioned kissinger. carter didn't know the palestinians at all. he became endeared with their plight, retracting it through his view of the civil rights movement in the south. he said to me remarkably that he saw them as the blacks of the middle east and they are being mistreated more by the i

kissinger really didn't know anything about the middle east. he had never studied it and he had never written about the ottoman empire which was quite relevant to the european order he was talking about at the time. he visited israel six times before he went into government but not once did he know much about it. what he discovered was the egyptians and the jordanians and syrians didn't want anything to do with palestinians. they barely paid lip service to them in those days. as a result, he got the message loud and clear that he could go ahead and do these deals without having to worry about the palestinians. the only one who pushed and was the king of morocco and he wanted a channel. kissinger was happy to oblige with that. essentially, the palestinians did not figure in his concept of a new american-led middle east border. therefore, when he came to deal with the issue of jordan and the west bank, he basically stayed away from it. his focus was on egypt because he wanted egypt out of the conflict and that would end the state to state conflic

and again, after the war, thousands of east germans fleeing the communist regime in east germany to the democratic west and how did they do this. very often they do it just by stepping across the street into west berlin and was they were in west berlin, they could get a training which has the right to cross german territory to the west. so simple, and by 1961, thing that the entire population of east germany had done just that, they fled pretty and to stop this warm us acted as the east germans proposed a barrier in moscow agreed. and in the middle of the night, of august 13th, 1961, these two germans strong wire all the way around west berlin cutting off. there is a slide shows this barbed wire eventually these germans were replacing the barbed wire with lockman they would replace the cinderblocks with slabs of concrete, 13 feet high. more than one quarter of a century later the berlin wall atremained in place and encirclg it west berlin predict here's a slide that shows where the wall caught up in brandenburg gate and president reagan mentioned the gate in a speech, we need to know th

amazingly, the middle east is not in the headlines. don't quote -- i don't know whether you have noticed that but it is not. i have noticed that. it is not, and that is because the united states focuses elsewhere. our partners in the region recognize if they want to keep us in support of them, they need to step up and act responsibly. iran, of course, is the big exception, the revolutionary power, and it has to be contained and deterred, but it has to be done by developing a balance that is maintained by israel and the sunni-arab states, all of whom have an interest in the status quo, all of them threatened by iran. the united states has to play in --an active role in that because there is more than just -- there is nonproliferation. there is potential for a nuclear arms raised -- race that could disrupt the effort to deter stable order. that is why it is important iran becomes an exception that the united states has to take. some options will involve the local players, with israel acting to contain iran and syria or supporting iran's
