thirdly, we offered economic incentives to hanoi, as well as our allies, so that the hanoi politic could debate among themselves, let's put off objectives and take the aid for reconstruction, and let's go along with this deal. we got rid of the american troops. and we'll just bide our time but take the aid. so we thought that was the incentive. fourthly, we thought china and russia and our self interests, not wanting this issue to flare up again between us, would help persuade hanoi to behave themselves. well, these assumptions did not work out. reasonable people can challenge it but they have to come up with what should we have done, stayed on longer? with the american opinion the way it was? and after all we had done for south vietnam? or go all-out and use nukes and bombs? they weren't just great alternatives, because of the anguish, i respect those who disagree but i don't respect these two arguments which i think are phony. >> earlier, just earlier tonight, didn't you say that dr. kissinger says that the moment, i think in october '72, when the north vietnamese changed for the first

hanoi goes all in. they roll the dice. the plan is to start with this conventional warfare. they send tanks, heavy artillery , then a second front north of saigon, threatening the nation's capital. there is a slower rising offensive in the central highlands. they end up driving the south totnamese back, setting sees iege to the capital. what they plan to happen is to achieve conventional success and disrupt the south vietnamese military. once the south vietnamese move out of position, they can reclaim territory in populated areas in the mekong delta. they will join a coalition that they expect to follow. that is their own version of the bigger game. everybody with me so far? what happens, how do we think nixon will react based on what we know? he wentnical phrase is nuts. he is not having it. he is totally not having it. threats this as a direct to his chances of being elected again. to his relations all around the world with europeans, soviets and chinese. he orders an all-out response. that is important because he has lost his confidence in the secretary of defense. he has

that made this so important to me was just that the students at hanoi university and their parents and that thents recognized sacrifice at kent state and all of the college campuses that protested the war in 1970 was what actually determined the ending of the vietnam war. because within 10 months of what happened at kent state, 90% of the troops in vietnam were either leaving or scheduled to leave. that and icognized think they really responded to what i had to say. the people i told you about, alison krauss, danny sure your and jeffrey miller -- those were the students that died. nine students were wounded. and one was crippled for life from the waist down. i would like to turn this over to see if anyone had questions.

i told my story about the cannot state tragedy and protest at hanoi university where i was invited to speak to 200 english speaking graduates and it would not have been possible without the kent state international department. these young students had heard about the protests in the united states from their parent and grandparents and aunts and uncles but this was the first time they heard the story from someone who was there and was a primary witness. and the other thing that made this so important to me was just the students at hanoi university and their parents and grandparents recognized that the sacrifice at kent state and all the college campuses that protested the war in 1970 was what actually determined the ending of the vietnam war because then within ten months of what happened at kent state, 90% of the troops in vietnam were either leaving or scheduled to leave, and they -- they recognized that and they -- i think they really responded to what i had to say. the people i told you about, allison krauss andy sawyer, and jeffrey miller, those are the four students who died. nin

it is a good thing and something has been talked about since the aftermath as you indicated of the hanoirth korea walked out of there with their tail beneath their legs, thinking getting sanction relief for a small initiative they put on the table. they were rebuked by the united states, all of their rhetoric and actions and rocket testing, short-range ballistic missile testing since that hanoi summit has been one, to convince their domestic audience and certainly their elites around the regime that they mean business and they're still a strong nuclear powerful nation capable of delivering ballistic missiles but they, they're coming into this talk with that additional leverage, and we'll see. i mean the reality is that they have never put anything consequential on the table that to follow-up on what they said in singapore to the president. that they're serious about denuclearization. but there is no evidence to support that other than suspending nuclear testing and ballistic missile testing. there is not a concrete step that has been taken to disarm their nuclear ballistic missile capabi

and so i guess the question i wanted to ask you is, you know, was the problem in hanoi that the north koreans were not giving enough or that they wanted the united states to give too much? mr. bolton: well, i can only speak from my personal point of view, having followed this issue for 30 years. i don't think the north koreans will ever voluntarily give up enough, because what they have to give up to satisfy me is their entire nuclear structure, and they need to agree to an inspection system that is so robust and so thorough that they could well think that it threatens the stability of their regime. i don't want fake inspections. we've got plenty of those around the world as it is now. we need real verification of any agreement given the untrustworthiness of the north korean regime since its inception. this is a government that has essentially violated every agreement - every international agreement it has ever made. there is no basis to trust any commitment that that regime makes, absent some fundamental change inside the north korean system itself. mr. cha: you mentioned the libya m

he's in hanoi vietnam.o are the groups of vietnamese people looking to move to the west? the people heading especially to europe tend to be from north central vietnam from specific areas. they are people who are very poor who are looking for an opportunity and they tend to be young adults, not children and not older adults but people in their 20s looking for opportunity and seeing nothing at home. if they are poor, who are they turning to the help? the smugglers who have set up these routes to europe also lend them the money to pay for it, and so in this way people are being tricked. they think they have got a lifeline and all they need to do is borrow this money and they will be able to back but of course it just money and they will be able to back but of course itjust becomes money and they will be able to back but of course it just becomes a money and they will be able to back but of course itjust becomes a debt and beads to them becoming enslaved. when these people reach the european countries that they
