hussein haqqani face says?ay i please ask you, is this that instead of the gender who are hiding bin laden were being ousted ambassador was trying to control islamic is then he fears to solve this problem. does that clearly show pakistan? >> read these together. i'm not going to accept the premise of that question because those are premises that i don't personally cut. after that clearly to what is the case with hussein haqqani. no sar, his first information report, charges have been filed against him. without any charters had come he would back. his passport was seized in lives under list under house arrest. the irony as he is experiencing fundamental of liberty. thank you for pointing out that the relationship between the current supreme court justice goes way back because i was sure wreath was his prank champion and the fact that was the reason why the coalition between the plm and the ppp was over at the disposition of the supreme court justice and disagreement between sharif and zardari. i want to point so

there was no mention of the united states overthrowing saddam hussein. iraq, like egypt and other countries undergoing dramatic changes, faces immense challenges in the years ahead. we met an iraqi american who spent much of her life in war zones who firmly believes the key to lasting peace is in the hands of women >> i grew up in war, and i grew up in not only a war but a-- iraq was led by saddam hussein. so it was fear and terror. >> reporter: zanea's father was saddam hussein's personal pilot. her family's ever move controlled by his iron hand. >> the fear-- i wish i can can explain that fear. it was like a poison gas leaked into our home and we all breathed it slowly. i was about 10 years old when the iran-iraq war started. and at a very young age i learned there is this other side of war that sort of no one talks about, and that is what women go through and what women live in war. and it was the women who ran the schools. it was the women who ran the factories. and it's women who keep life going in the midst war. >> mitchell: you're saying it's a st

what is the nature of the proceeding with hussein haqqani involved? those who have been watching the supreme court, it has been characterized as independent. i think that is grotesque mischaracterization. it is very interventionist. it is activist, right? it has powers that our supreme court does not have. it has sui moto powers t can take up an issue if it thinks are public importance. we can question whether the issues it takes up are personal importance of the supreme court justice in question, right? that is different debate i don't want to go into here. where this particular case came to be, is another interpretation of the pakistan's constitution that anyone can petition the highest court, which ordinarily is the highest court of appeal, the court of last resort, if the issue pertains to a fundamental deprivation of human rights. and so under this clause, this provision of the supreme court, sharif who claims he is a democrat says that this memo in fact violates this fundamental right to liberty abouts in that therefore it is the subject of the

know you did you just know where killed less people did you just compare rupert murdoch to saddam hussein i'm sure you didn't know who i just did but it's better the complete comparing a minute later i think i may saddam hussein is like this current that you know ok there you go would love to talk to you more certainly lots of interesting stuff unfortunately we're out of time comedian and filmmaker as seen smith in new york city. also had here on r t and the horror of war is something not easily forgotten or maybe it is when we come back at the pentagon tries to find a way to help soldiers cope with the traumas of combat but we ask the question is ignorance really bliss. lindsey lowe and give me the fleet about islam and the young people are saying just the longer you know she says she's a star. the way. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you get something else here so you saw the part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't. think. well talk about a reality of our time that's most likely when a reality for decades

do what i just did but it's better than complete comparing him to hitler i think i'm a saddam hussein at least current guy there you go would love to talk to you more certainly lots of interesting stuff unfurling we're out of time comedian and filmmaker since math and new york city. also had its the eternal sunshine of the military mind as the pentagon approves a study for the pell designed to make soldiers forget the horrors of war we asked the question is ignorance really bliss. r t is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like al-jazeera. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. just lindsey lowe and. the preaching about these women that people are suggesting she's. you know she says she's a stock. let's talk now about a reality of our time that's most likely been a reality for decades if not centuries but it's one that's starting finally to not be ignored talking about post-traumatic stress disorder and robs it was simply because it couldn't be ignored any longer i'll give you some numbers twenty percent of the soldiers who ha

has the least thing he's tweeting us a big that's not to do it's like oh it's like saddam hussein tweeting all right thank you we all right it was we did you just compare kill less people did you just compare rupert murdoch to saddam hussein i'm sure he didn't know who i just did but it's better the complete comparing him to hitler i think i'm a saddam hussein at least current ok there you go with what is actually more certainly lots of interesting stuff unfortunately we're out of time comedian and filmmaker as seen smashed and new york city. so had on our take the blue pill and forget everything that ever happened forget the horror of war and the reality american soldiers face every day take the red pill and hear the truth that story coming up next. you don't believe the rough. but what do you want to ask nobody seems to know. that never ever sprayed the face but part of the argument that they're being overly dramatic. welcome to the capital account mr. harcourt. i think. we have a. safe. freedom. let's talk now about a reality of our time that's most likely been a reality for decades if

like it i just did but it's better the complete comparing him to hitler i think i'm a saddam hussein at least current ok there you go would love to talk to you more certainly lots of interesting stuff unfortunately we're out of time comedian and filmmaker as seen smith in new york city. well speaking of a lack of civility in journalism i want to take this time just briefly to address something we told you about last week radio host and paid c.n.n. contributor dana lash agreeing with those marines in afghanistan remember the ones caught on video urinating on dead militants on a radio show last week dana said that she dropped trial and do it too those are her words but when our team put a link from the audio from her show on to our web site she tweeted us and accused us of not doing our job of gathering news and spinning what she said even though we simply posted the audio from her show her words she also said we didn't reach out to her which we actually did using several different methods and she never responded oh she did tweet back a few times also right words website big journalism

those left behind like the relatives of shik hussein wonder if anyone will ever be held to account. justice can be elusive here especially for the poor. doctors warn this tragedy could be repeated because of lack of regulation and because state hospitals are compelled to buy the cheapest drugs. this time they were cheap enough to kill. >> violence has borrowing out in dakar, the capital of senegal while the president can run for a third term of office. hundreds of protestors threw stones at police and they responded with tear gas. the courts have rejected the candidacy for next month's election. he has served the maximum two terms. that though was passed after he was first elected. >> sub zero temperatures have hit parts of southeastern europe leaving one dead and thousands more without power. theably zards in bulgaria, romania and serbia has caused travel chaos as daniel griffin reports. >> blizzard and sub zero temperatures. much of the region going nowhere. some areas are now under meters of snow. travel all but impossible. at the arnte, many flights were canceled. train services

saddam hussein never thought in the end that we would attack. >> that's right. >> rose: he made... his limited understanding of america and how he saw it said "i can get away with this." >> well, what saddam hussein told george pirro, the f.b.i. agent who interviewed him for six months was "i knew you would never attack." and he was probably right. and when pirro said "you're sitting here in an orange jump suit about et-to-get hung, how do you think aut that calculation now?" saddam said "there was no way victim anticipated 9/11. which totally changed the calculus." >> rose: what intrigued you most about what he told the f.b.i. interrogator? >> i think... his life story was fascinating but when he got down to what was the main bullet they said where was the w.m.d. and he said we had a program but we discontinued it. >> rose: in 2003. >> earlier. but he said we had to givehe inspectors the runaround because my other audience was iran and i had to have them think we had a w.m.d. program to keep them at by a and if i said it they would think it was first thumping but if the americans

experienced giants stepping on their toes hussein remembers how easy it was to start a pharmacy some thirty years ago it was a lot easier back then to stay and survive thirty years ago they could just go in and easily open a pharmacy now no young pharmacist really they or if they come with a lot of student loans and they really can model pain that kind of money his two daughters are also pharmacists but i would much rather be in my own business or at least a family business. most of say naps fellow graduates ended up working for a big company. to at least have a steady paycheck none of them started their own business it has now become a common tendency for the young in the us stark difference with the eighties but many can't find even such relative stability these days according to a report by peter hart research associates a quarter of workers under the age of thirty five in the us can't pay their monthly bills another study shows the average net worth of those under thirty five a nineteen eighty-four was three times higher than it is now for the same age group millions of people's

iran is just a pretext in this case of the same way it was a pretext and peaceful iraq when saddam hussein was blamed for developing destruction weapons program. proved to be absolutely false and then i'm afraid that in this case and peaceful for and these accusations may become exactly false of the same men that they were both iraq but. it would be too late to to to to to. they're easy because the regime would be so forcefully moved to hate by now let's get to our last question here and forgive me i'm running low on time. u.s. british french warships are already loitering around the iranian border some might sense they waiting for perhaps a possible form of provocation at the same time thousands of american soldiers are being positioned in israel what's next is it war hopefully more because it will have disastrous consequences for iran for security in the region for the security of the united states and other participants in this military operation so i believe the call for this is just the method dorsett additional pressure on iran but i do not believe that the united states seriously co

discussed time and time again in our coverage of occupy wall street and so i want to go to a mean hussein now he's an occupy wall street organizer protester and he's in porto alegre right now. hey there i mean tell us about the forum there about what you and the other activists are discussing and what you hope to accomplish. we got here a couple of days ago and it was a personal invitation and we came to me and another person called middle east down we're both from the occupy movement in new york and we took up the invitation to come over here because we thought it would be useful to meet other people and social movements around the world to actually acknowledge the gratitude for people in tunisia in a out with as well as people from greece from the movements there the indignados and spain and exchange of information and notes about how to proceed i know capitalism is certainly been a point of discussion in the us over the last few weeks for those especially paying attention to the republican republican debates the campaign in general mostly what we're seeing is quite a few republicans co

. >> i felt like there was a consensus that som hussein -- saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and this was the consensus across the world. this was not a rogue notion that the time. i felt it was highly important to make sure that there was no continuance of that. there were all kinds of evidence for his support for terrorist groups attacking israel, and he was involved in a number of these at destabilizing environments and actions. it struck me as a very good idea at the time. i thought that this was all right. and soon after, as we moved to nation-building, there came a time when it struck me that this was not going to work as i was learning about the islamic world. i am not certain what exact year. i need to find out when i actually started putting things together. it has taken a few years to realize that the notion of going to a country and remaking it in your own image is not a successful plan. and that is exactly what the strategy became. >> why did you think it was ok to go into iraq and not go after saudi arabia, who we actually sell weapons to, which you say undermin

intervention and the overthrow of the first dictator, saddam hussein.any credit at all, the americans? >> >> i will tell you that the americans are [ inaudible ] governments supported au crattic regimes in the arab world. >> the neo conservative position stopped doing that and should change the game in the middle east and some ways that argument we associate with people like paul wolfowitzs has turned out to be right. by overthrowing saddam hussein a domino effect set itself in motion. >> the actual path to democracy in the arab world started from within the public, from within the people. it is an indigenous model created, deeply rooted inherited inside the system and the culture and the will of the public. what happened in iraq, it was imposed from overseas and rejected by the public. the democrat of iraq is not functioning because of the, you know, this kind of foreign element in it. in my opinion, what happened in iraq delayed the arab spring. >> we will have to end on that note, i think inevitably, iraq comes -- comes up again and people disagree o

. >> well, they can do the same thing as saddam hussein proved bustie pretending to have the program. didn't want to give up the fact he didn't have anything and let his neighbors realize he was weak in that way, and instead let us invade and start a ten-year war with him. >> you're exactly right. one thing we saw was that actually when we went in '91, saddam's weapons of mass destruction program was much further advanced than we thought in particular the nuclear program. and so then for the ten years, 11 years of sanctions we had a cat and mouse play, trying to fracture the coalition, everybody's patience wears then, you go back to the u.n. security council again and again. eventually we became convinced he did in fact have the weapon and then he didn't. >> i tell you one other quick point. libya, it turned out when we went into iraq in 2003, libya turned over their weapons program which helped us take down a back market for nuclear weapons. so there's a lot of uncertainty. no in the world, and you marry that with terrorism and other concerns we have today, it is an unstable situatio

polls coming up this week showing 40%, republican voters hussein that they will like him if he is the nominee in he is the most electable, that they use words like possibly, likely, there is not the fervor and the kind of energy need to go up against obama. >> i have heard again from republican voters that say, we just don't understand. we know we have a shot, we just don't have a candidate. >> my argument is that we do have a candidate. the candidates have not made the case. everyone is trying to scratch their head, which one of these people have to choose to do it? from how conservative they are to help progressive they are, nobody is looking at if this person excites them enough to go into battle? god did it want to beat barack obama or do they want the candidate that echoes their conservative values? >> they want both. >> they are being greedy. >> candidates are not offering both. the one the polls that together and crystallize the way will emerge on the upper end. forwardakes a step and two back. that 2-3 spot will be the critical juncture. >> let's talk about the missteps and th

we're talking with professor hussein hassouna. this is america. >> "this is america" is made possible by the national education association, the nation's largest advocate for children and public education. the american federation of teachers, a union of professionals. the singapore tourism board. there is something for everyone. singapore airlines, a great way to fly. pusan corp., pushing a higher global standard. the ctc foundation, if the communications, -- afo communications and the rotunda are a family trust. >> mr. ambassador, service of 10 years here in the united states. >> yes. >> you will be leaving as shirley. >> i unfortunately, i will. -- you will be leaving us shortly. >> unfortunate, i will. >> what is the toughest challenge you have to face while you are here. and what are your proudest accomplishments. >> first of all, i must tell you, i am leaving with mixed feelings. i have spent 10 years in washington representing the arab league. i spent five years in new york before that representing the league of nations. i w
