it bedevils italian politics, it bedevils israel's politics, irish politics have been bedeviled, but it bedevils them as well. >> when was there a last liberal prime minster? >> it goes back a ways. yes, a hundred years. but elements of the liberal party had moved elsewhere. into the right wing of labor, and then the right wing of labor moved back about 30 years ago into the liberal party. and that's why they called them the liberal dems. it's interesting. it is indeed a new voice in western politics where there hasn't been a new voice for quite a while. >> you don't consider the two parties a new voice? >> i consider them a loud voice. that's an interesting question. they're not all nice. there is no roster, there is no leader. there is no secretariat, so the tea parties, if they're going to be effective, beyond a lot of middle aged people who missed the barricades when they were young, now enjoying all the thrill of the barricades. there's no new ideas really. they're angry with washington, apingry with the status quo, but they're not offering any of our domestic politicians a radi

the spanish, the italians for an attempted. but in the end turkey fell for the siren song of mediation and to meet it is worrisome because turkey is an important country, it has a lot of influence in the region, nato ally, and with turkey abstaining is basically sending a signal to iran that you are being successful in dividing the international community. turkey abstaining, brazil abstained also, that's a problem and turkey and brazil also happen to be on the security council right now. big victory for iran as a look and the security council to put sanctions in place. so i think it's very tempting for the countries in the region to try to be neutral, but how can you be neutral on something like this that has such major implications for regional security and for most of the rest of the world is not on the side of iran, not sitting at the middle and is joining everyone else in condemning what they're doing and urging them to comply with international council and take advantage of negotiations and so forth. >> thank you, greg. th

i heard that from the swiss the spanish and from the italians. and i think that was the talking point that, you know, my iranian counterparts were using. they'd go to countries and say, you can be a hero. you can mediate. and that's sort of tempting. isn't it nice to be the mediator. you don't have to take hard positions. you don't have to put any pressure on. you know, if you're not successful, it's probably because the u.s. messed it up. you know, if you are successful, you're going to be a great hero. it's a very clever strategy by the iranian government to let everyone mediate. it typically wasn't successful. now, the swiss tried for a while. and then the swiss got frustrated and said forget it. you know, we're going to join with the rest of europe and the rest and sort of condemning what's going on. the spanish, the italians were tempted for a while and they backed away. but in the end turkey fell for this siren song of mediation. and to me it's worrisome because turkey is an important country. it has a lot of influence in the region. it's a

comment on is that there were not any way people until they came to america and that's while the italians, english, themselves united. in this very fear, a loss of power if -- >> okay, anderson the question. i think the fear of loss of power is already underfoot or in the air or whatever. without tampering any further with the categories. i think categories tend to lag the hind the powerful, the power arrangements. so for instance, as nations become richer, they will also become more beautiful. and as we get all mixed up, the taxonomy will have to somehow catch up to us. one thing that american historians have found a frustrating over the years is that we have a lot of trouble classifying people according to wealth and income. which i think would be a much more useful way of dealing with the inequiti @@@@@ @@@@ and it's also given on a less frequent basis but it's also offered in u.s. history, will be offered in world history. and sciences is tested. civics is testeds. there are all different subjects that are part of naep. it's expensive but it give us a very good snapshot of how we're d

a magic being in an italy think tank and you can't read italian that i don't think that would be acceptable one of the mistranslations that you find to often and riding on north korea is this phrase, father there. that doesn't mean father, doesn't? it is apparent day. so kim il-sung is not referred to as the fatherly. is referred to as the paradigm. that is quite odd pick either referring to a man not as a father but as a parent. it's obvious you're trying to play up his maternal side. that's what they do in north korea. kim jong-il himself is on record as saying that kim il-sung smuggling qualities were the key to his success. so when people say that north korea is a confucian patriarchy, they really couldn't be further from the truth. this is not a confucian society at all. kim jong-il as well, even when his depicted in military uniform, he comes across more as salvation army matron. he looks very feminine, and in photographs he looks like a south korean housewife.
