of iran's proxies. it is a process. several of the sunni arab regimes, possibly as well as turkey, might reexamine their policies or positions. as bad as the middle east is today, the idea of a middle east with multiple finan errors on multiple triggers ought to be anyone's sense of a strategic nightmare, but the real question is, can you stop it? there are two ways. one is in negotiation, whether the iranians would agree to a ceiling on something we feel confident with. i have no idea whether that is negotiable. we will try to do so. it is right to try. we will see if we can get the russians and chinese to join the united states. again, given what is going on within iran and the politics, nobody here can sit and predict with certainty if the negotiations will succeed. would consider with certainty that the negotiations will succeed. the principal alternative is military force in my own view. the united states would buy a small amount of time, perhaps a couple of years. i do not believe it would change

so let me talk about iran. i did a study, the details of which i won't go into, on iran for the american government. and when i presented the results of that study in august of 2007, it was on nuclear policy. it was presented to a pretty senior audience, including the person who had chief intelligence responsibility for nuclear proliferation issues. and he was very upset with my results. and argued vigorously with them. and i argued vigorously back and he pointed out the data where they are, so the issue was the logic and here was what i saw as the problem in his argument. could you tommy where the feelings were in the logic of my model. in the meeting broke up rather acrimoniously. i got an e-mail two days later saying i go to a lot of briefings, ignore them. but you get to have for the last two nights because they could not dismiss your claim that i had come to my conclusions on weak logic. correlation is most assuredly not causation. i'm not trying to suggest any credit here. i'm just stating a sequence of e

iran has done it before, they ended the iran/iraq war when some hussein was still in power, and thatis another reference point i think we have to keep in mind, but one thing that is worrisome to me, and it is worrisome when i listen to iason, and that is the mentality of this particular group. during the iran/iraq war, you had people who had visited the west. i remember interviewing one and about his visit and talking about his impressions of the state. one had lived in turkey, iran, -- turkey, iraq, france. many important figures in the revolution had been educated abroad, and you do not have that with this particular if cohort. there are people in the revolutionary guard, members of the force i have met who are relatively sophisticated, but their education comes from books. it does not come from on the ground experience in the west. and this is worrisome. it raises the possibility of this calculation, and one wonders how far iran will go before it will perhaps make a compromise -- it raises the m raises ofiscalculati -- it raises the possibility of m iscalculation. it is a difficul

and iran understand that. iran's security cannot happen in a vacuum.st understand that international situation has changed the bipolar world and the cold war system has collapsed. and in any case the regional calculations have evolved. so iran must take itself out of the realm of threat, and that is its best diplomacy. i believe for the united states from the start with the emergence of mr. obama and the obama factor, it's something that it has to take advantage of. i think that the nobel peace prize to mr. obama is not so much about the past but about the future. allow america to look to the future. >> all right, mr. asgharzdeh, i appreciate that. and thank you for joining us from tehran on this anniversary. i want to ask you the final word. can one get over the notion of regime change, all the grievances that you both havar tim late tick lated -- have articulated, mr. asgharzdeh has articulated, can it be gotten over quickly? >> we've seen mr. asgharzdeh gone from being a radical student and somebody contrary to the >> the first police officer who co

we will also take under conversation the issues about iran.coming up, we're talking about bus service in the united states. you may have remembered earlier in this week we talked about amtrak and its service. now we're taking a look at those who take buses to get around. first, we want to give you a look at the news of the week but this time through the eyes of political cartoonists. host: as promised, we're joined by jonathan bar tuseo. can you give us a sense of how americans are using bus service? guest: we're seeing more commuters, more inner city, and we're also seeing more people travel just for leisure and charter and tour buses. host: if that's the case, is the bus service a regulated industry as far as the federal government is concerned? guest: it is very much regulate, by the federal government, the u.s. department of transportation and state departments of transportation and service agencies, e.p.w., state police obviously regulate it as well. host: is it funded by the federal government sf guest: very little subsidy. not like most

it is difficult to control the country like iran.d to establish a regime where everyone stops trading, particularly in the materials that are survival necessities for this regime. if you denigrate sanctions and say that we only have an option which is to use military force, that does not get you very far. i am not aware of any scenario where the use of american or israeli military force actually resolved the question you are trying to resolve. can we stop the nuclear weapons capacity? i don't think so. you invite asymmetric attacks by the iranians through hezbollah, hamas, she militants in iraq, against our forces, against israel. -- shi'a militants in iraq, against our forces. you have to think about what you might achieve and what you might lose. negotiations and sanctions are a better option than the use of force for our national interests. knowing what i know, even if you fail the negotiations and sanctions track, you're still left with a great number of allies and partners in the middle east who i believe could successfully cont

how did this affect ordinary life in iran? i arrived a few months before ahmadinejad was elected president and there was panic and breast beating at the time, but very few things changed on the surface of things at least if you lived in certain parts of tehran. traveling around the country, people are fed up. the reformist experiments had largely had been judged to have been a failure and they wanted something different. obama gets elected on the slogan of change and ahmadinejad got elected on the slogan of change, too. and he invested a lot of money. and in those years, there was bounty and there was a lot of infrastructure, which created a bubble and created inflation which made people dissatisfied with ahmadinejad again. but certainly when i was doing it this time on a friday and thursday before the elections, people would say to me, we're going to vote for ahmadinejad again because we want to give him the opportunity to finish what he started. and i would get this in parts of tehran and also in other parts because it seems

there's no argument from the un point of view that iran is in take action and iran is not in compliance defying international efforts to reveal what they're doing. i think there's little support for the notion that iran has been in compliance and i think that's big issue for them going forward. host: caller talked about lobbying efforts. twitter asks. this is the issue. giving billions to israel and them using it to fund muslims. guest: the military for israel a lot of viewers have to be aware. much of it was used to purchase weapons and arms produced by americans and do promote american jobs and the american economy so there isn't at this point direct economic pááráup'ce to the first world economy. doesn't need the economics but what it does get as do many other american allies is it gets military assistance that much of comes back to fund american jobs. 3 billion in military assráup'ce goes to israel. host: jeremy is with jay street if you want to find out more. look it up. jay street dot org the website.

. >>> iran is calling in the cyberpolice to fight what it calls insults and lies. while others call the attempt to police the internet just another effort to crack down on the government opposition. >>> and an unexpected scare at a high school football game. a wall collapses, sending people tumbling to the ground. we'll bring you the latest on the hospitalized students. >>> you're watching hln news and views, thanks for watching. >>> fubls are being held across the country today for some of the victims of fort hood shootings, to captain john gaffney, a psychiatric news from the san diego areath and a funeral is under way for staff sergeant justin decrow, an indiana native. >>> a funeral is being held today for private first class aaron nemelka in utah, members of utah's congressional delegation is expected to attend and a private funeral for staff sergeant amy krueger was held in illinois. she was remembered last night. >> i was amy's first commander. and we went to afghanistan together in 2003 and 2004. and i think the one thing that you recognize as you serve wit

some have sought to justify the removal of all restrictions by comparing to but to iran. the germans started with that very comparison. i welcome such a parallel -- the case of iran illustrates the need for travel regulations by shining light on the safety and security issues associated with unregulated travel to countries under the control of rogue regimes. three american backpackers who got lost while hiking in a mountainous region along the iraqi-iran border which came by security agents in july are now being charged with espionage. the case with the iranian- american journalist sentenced to eight years in prison after iran accused your spine for the u.s. -- to spend four months in prison and was released in may. the director of the woodrow wilson international center for scholars was detained in iran in 2007 in solitary confinement for more than 110 days. these are not trustworthy regimes. of. in several instances the cuban regime has seized the passports of dual nationals, denied the individuals permission to return to the u.s., cuban authorities consistently failed

let me begin with iran. the united states believes that it would be unacceptable for iran to develop or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons. is that a view shared by india, and with india be prepared to support a robust sanctions against iran in order to discourage it from going down that path? you can go there or you can sit here. >> i forgot. well, as for our runs nuclear weapons ambitions are concerned,@@@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @& obligations that go with its membership. this rules out the nuclear weapon part. there is no ambiguity in our position. we're quite clear in our thinking that iran should not go to the nuclear weapon part. that is inconsistent with its obligation as a member of the npt. now with regards to the sanctions question, let me say that if the security council in its wisdom passes any resolution, we have in the past abided by the decisions of the security council. and as i see president obama this approach opening up a new pathway of engagement without preconditions, our hope is it will yield r

something called the provisional government of iran.t was very clear from that contact that there was no help coming from that direction. when i called, i think it was foreign ministry, i got a secretary on the line who said, oh, thank you, it's so nice to hear from you. those passports we sent over, are those visas ready yet? and that's what they seemed to be worried about. they were hedging their debts do as to which direction the politics we're going to go. washington was clearly far away. it was 3:00 in the in the -- it was 3:00 in the morning on a sunday morning. in washington. that ended the normal resources available for washington to help us. for example, a high-level call from the secretary of state, or from a assistant secretary sauders, or wasn't available. anyone who would have taken his call, which is call, done anything. and anybody that could have done anything wasn't taking any calls. certainly not from americans officials. we were on our own. i did it on my own. it was a terrible idea. but no one had a better one. there

antigovernment protesters in iran. they were chanting obama, either you're with us or you're with them. they marched in spite of warnings for the government to stay away. witnesses say a lot of people were roughed up and arrested. this coincides with an entirely different protest. one by government supporters marched the 30th anniversary of the seizure in tehran. islamic students stormed the compound and held 52 americans hostage for 444 days. it's time for the iranian government to focus on the past or make choices to open the door to prosperity and justice for its people. >>> the justice of the peace who refused to marry an interracial couple in louisiana has resigned. keith bardwell has said he doesn't regret his decision. but he told affiliate wbrz in bay on the rouge that he was advised to step down after they file ad discrimination lawsuit against him. >>> some robbers had to run for their lives when they came face-to-face with an 80-year-old man. he pulled out his gun when four people tried to rob his jewelry st

we have stop an attack and iran every day of the year.on the cover of newsweek this week, nuclear explosion, or words after iran gets the bomb. the same fear mongering, the same lies, the same type, the same baseless claims that took us into iraq, be afraid, be afraid. guess what? almost all americans are saying no, we don't want to be afraid this time. we did that. we expose the lies about iraq, and the lies about iran are not getting anywhere. and we have turned this nation against wars between a heavy majority against the war in afghanistan that we are right online and win a majority against escalating it. we did that and we didn't have that before the last election. so we don't want politicians who say i will stand by what i said before the last election. we want people who represent who we are right now. and so we are actually more successful than we know, you look at opinion polls and we are huge majorities on all kinds of issues where would think we are some sort of leftist group because our television tells us that all the time. w

eastern. >>> we have just learned that iran will charge three u.s.who crossed into the country legally with es uponage. yesterday was their 100th day in custody. their families organized vigils around the world. >> they're feeling very, very lonely at this point. they're feeling lack of information, you know, they really don't know what the rest of the world is thinking or doing. >> the hikers' families released this video of them goofing around hoping to prove to iran they're innocent and crossed the border by mistake. >>> computer versus have made some innocent people look like child porn collectors. an investigation found that pedophiles can affect your computer and store their images or people framing you can make it look like you're surfing the porn sites. the ap talked to one man who says he spent $250,000 to prove his innocence. wow. >>> michael jackson's father is asking for money from the late singer's estate. his attorney filed court documents friday. michael jackson's will didn't say anything about his dad. michael said his father was abus

she tried to get nuclear weapons, some argument with iran now. what would happen would be there would be a coalition including probably in israel as low as zero states, united states, and russia to contain him. i think he was eminently containable and did terrible overall. nonetheless, because of this fear of nuclear weapons, sanctions were slapped on them during the 1990's which were the necessary cause more deaths in iraq than were killed in hiroshima and nagasaki combined. terrorism was beginning to be a problem both of these are put in two high order, of course, by 9/11, which said it was also massively exaggerated. i call a massive extrapolation. osama bin laden and al qaeda represented a fringe group of a fringe group in 2001. fairly desperately trying to keep their names on the map. they were rejected by most violent jihadists because they were crazy. they thought they were stupid and immoral. the texted 9/11 basically suggest that was the case and then a massive crackdown on al qaeda. al qaeda still continues to be persistent problem for

first of all, we do not support a nuclear iran. we have said that while iran has the right to have nuclear energy, they must fulfill their obligation as signatories of the non-proliferation treaty. we have voted against iran in the iaea and have supported the process, as you mentioned, as a means to resolve all outstanding issues resolved -- regarding the program. we have incurred iran to cooperate in this process. as far as sanctions are concerned, india has implemented sanctions that are adopted under chapter 7 of the un security council. we have done that for all cases, not just iran. clearly, in terms of the evolving any consensus on what measures should be taken, i think it would be important to ensure that there is an international consensus because if you have major countries outside the framework, then it will not be effective. you will speak with a divided voice. i think this was the advice, if i may recall, which the german chancellor gave to the earlier u.s. president, say even that it takes to call her, ensure that all

bennett's point you mentioned iran which is a very good example. i believe afghanistan had up to 28 candidates on their ballots including some women so i think that is a very good point and thank you. >> any comments on that? >> you address this in your book. >> put it this way. if you honestly believe there is not that much difference between the democrats and republicans, white vote? that is the point. and i think a lot of issues that should have been debated-- now, ralph is a very good at this. you may not agree with his positions but the idea is he wants to put this stuff on the table and get it out there and people want to talk about this. he wants to talk about labor issues and trade issues and you don't really get this very much. everything is clustered in the center and the idea is to spread the ideas about. hans has been talking about the fact that well, if you have multiple parties, the government may not be as easy, governing may not be as easy and it may be different. that may be a very good thing frankly. if you look at their governmen

host: the me ask you about iran. over the weekend it staged war games and sits on the nuclear offer from the west. guest: what you are seeing is iran acting in a nationalistic way, not to our best interests, but to theirs. we have been threatening a iran for a decade now. in their effort to get their nuclear power and potential for a nuclear weapon we have been through the bush administration when we wanted with policy to overturn their government. they are being threatened militarily by the israelis to blow up these sites. they are going through what they see for themselves. i think that we have to watch it. but i think we have to watch what we say and do. one of the ironies today in iran is that the opposition to the government in the election turns out to be the people who were objecting to this deal that amandhmadinejad made. there is an objection to the policy of america to stop them from doing what they think they ought to be able to do. whether or not it will build a nuclear weapon. they want the ability. host

/iran relations have been hostile since the day islamic students stormed the embassy and held hostages for days. >> we certainly didn't expect it to last that long. they have said they didn't expect it to last that long but what they did, in effect, was to create a climate of lawlessness and mob rule that they and their compatriots are today. >> they hold a rally to celebrate the event. today there's something different. anti-government protesters are also on the streets and we are getting reports of clashes with police. no word yet, though, about any injuries. >>> three missing north dakota softball players were found dead tuesday in a jeep in a pond. rafer weigel has more on this story. rafer? >>> yeah, natasha, authorities had been looking for these three women since late sunday night. they are kyrstin gemar, afton williamson and ashley neufeld. investigators say they were found inside their jeep in a 12-foot-deep pond on a farm near dickinson state university. authorities think the women made two calls to friends for help. authorities do not suspect any foul play at this point. jus

later, a discussion on reporting for iran. that starts at 4:00 p.m. eastern live on c-span. >> on this vote, the yeas are 60, the nays are 39. the motion is agreed to. >> with that vote, the senate moves its health-care bill to the floor. starting today and through december, follow the entire debate and how the bill would affect access to medical care, the public option, taxes, abortion, and medicare, why are companion network, c-span2, the only network that brings you the senate gavel-to-gavel. >> our discussion now on issues facing airline pilots, from today's "washington journal." prater is president of airline pilots association international. you are testifying before congress. sellas your message. guest: get the faa reauthorization done. it includes language directing them to update the federal aviation regulations on pilot fatigue. it is the number-one issue before airline pilots today. host: talk to us about pilot fatigue. what would you like to see changed hands -- as far as regulations are things back and help pilots. guest: a set of regulat

yesterday iran defied a deal designed to ease international fears that iran plans to build nuclear weapons, which it has denied so far. >>> about a million people across the united states will see their benefits expire in january. unless congress moves quickly on this. jennifer westhoven is here to talk about it. >> it was supposed to mean 20 more weeks of benefits, but it's all part of a bigger law that expires on december 31st. it looks like lawmakers missed that, so unless congress moves fast, technically everything runs out on january 1st, and of course, we know the timing would be awful. a non-profit group says that is about a million people who would be without a job, without any assistance, basically left in the worst job market in about 25 years. 10% unemployment. one expert told cnn recently, you've got about as much chance of landing a job right now as a kid does getting into harvard. that's depressing. lawmakers are working on it. >> thanks a lot. >>> stay with us this morning. we'll bring you live coverage of a space walk at the international space station. nasa says astronauts
