kind of reminded me of franklin roosevelt, you know, being against corporatism, especially fascism that seems to be rampant in today's government. and i'm just going to keep an open mind on his group and be interested to what they have to say. i just think that the republicans would be making a real good move in not being as mean and against so many things, and for an inclusive to as many people as possible. i think it's a tragedy that we lost a great senator like dick lugar. and it's time to come you know, get these key bill is out of office. i'll let it go from there. thank you so much for letting me speak. >> guest: i think one of the points that the caller was making, there is a frustration in the country with the idea the

the baath party functioned as a form of fascism, so they're starting from ground zero.hat people had and still have were sectarian identities. it would require constitutional changes to encourage the formation of parties across those sectarian lines. so far there is not a good sign of it. >> will that vindicate the american enterprise in iraq, ambassador, if in five years, ten years there is a stable, properly-working country. >> um, looking back we could have done many things differently. right now we have a country that in the mid-of total chaos in the region from iran to afghanistan to egypt, it does have its constitutional order. 80% of the population is kurdish is living in peace aside from occasional al-qaeda attacks, and all three sides are trying to hold together this constitutional order. with tweaks with what the iraqi government is doing, i believe they can come through this, but i think it's a very desperate and difficult time. >> thank you for joining us on "inside story." that brings us to the end of this edition of "inside story." thanks for being with us

i forget now, but fascism had a pretty good image in the west in the late '30s. mussolini was that admirable italian gentleman, as roosevelt called him. hitler was regarded by the state department in the late '30s as a moderate who was holding off the forces of left and right, so we shouldn't be too critical of him. the united states had a consul in berlin up until pearl harbor who was sending back dispatches saying you shouldn't be too hard on the nazis. they're doing some things we don't like, but they're still kind of moderates. his name is george ken non. you don't read that in the biographies. that's not untypical of the period. roosevelt, for example, bitter -- there was a neutrality act, theoretically. the united states was not supposed to allow support for either side in the civil war. and roosevelt was very bitter about any attempt to, by somebody to, say, send a pistol to the republic. he couldn't stop it by force, but he bitterly condemned it. on the other hand, the state department couldn't notice what i was reading in the left-wing press at the time

democracy is the centerpiece for his philosophy between the extreme of communism on one hand and fascism on the other. i think that philosophy became such a part of his life that if you read the letters he had with various democratic candidates starting with adlai stevenson and jon f. kennedy and people, bill clinton and i can list practically every presidential candidate on the democratic ticket for the 60 years they all turned to him because they realized he was serving as a liberal conscience through that generation of political people and in a way they need to his validation to be able to appeal to the liberal constituency that he wanted to represent. >> but a hardheaded liberal. >> that's right. >> he was so close to stevenson and did not take the transition to kennedy overnight. can you talk about that transition, the shift from libertyville to hyannis? >> that's very interesting that you use the word hardheaded. he obviously adored stephenson at the same time he felt stevenson was passive on the issue of civil rights and he was very, as tom points out he had broken to that issue i
