my argument is if you look at 2008 -- and inhe hindsight it is easy to say the build up to the crisisn 2006 -- but if you look at the issues that drove that theis, and compare it with global economy today, there are serious pockets of problems today, whether it be the brazilian fiscal deficit, or the turkish current account deficit, or the argentine macro situation, which is very problematic, and they are getting help from the imf at the moment. economic and political problems as opposed to this global systemic problem that we have in 2008. i recognize that, it is an easy statement to say in hindsight, but if you look at the causes of the problem, many leverage and the opacity of risk which was a problem in 2008, people did not know how to measure risk, we do not have that today. anna: thank you very much, some of that is comforting. bob parker, investment committee member, quilvest wealth management. bubble join us on bloomberg bob willat will be -- be joining us on bloomberg radio in five minutes time. we will discuss the economic landscape with larry summers, that is coming up late

some of the decisions we made were good, but in hindsight, a number of them, including labelling what war on terror and calling countries the axis of evil, this all hardened the situation. did the war on terror not make america safer? some of our responses made america safer. some of our responses like putting a prison in guant namo bay in cuba and... they weren't laws, congress is put out of this. a series of practices having to do with interrogations and detentions didn't make us safer. they created a more negative view of america, a poster of why they hate us. i think we missed opportunities to make the case in positive terms for what america stands for. we are doing better in some ways, but some of our policies, keeping immigrants out, or certain immigrants, these are sending a single that america is an armed fortress and i don't think thatis armed fortress and i don't think that is hopeful. if you look back to 2001, al-qaeda posed a great threat, it was an organised unit in afghanistan and everybody predicted there would be more organised attacks on the united states. what we've
