jimmy carter, woodrow wilson, theodore roosevelt. what were their accomplishments? guest: theodore roosevelt received the prize in part for being a russian-japanese conflict at the time, and also for establishing the permanent court of arbitration. therefore it is parallel to the obama nomination and award, because they were all rewarding teddy roosevelt, recognized him for putting on track a permanent court of arbitration. at the time it would solve the world's problems, because countries could go to arbitration. woodrow wilson was awarded the prize for setting up the league of nations. again, it was an accomplishment, just setting up, nobody knew that it would work or not. it failed, but it formed the foundation for a mulligan for the united nations. jimmy carter was awarded after, 2002, years after his previous efforts to the middle east peace process and particularly for negotiating a peace process between egypt and israel that held. he is a case where his accomplishments have stood the test of time. host: next caller. caller: the recipient of the nobel peace pr

alisyn: iran has vexed every president in recent memory, certain since jimmy carter.d been more successful strategy than the others? >> i do not think we have had any successful strategies with iran. meanwhile, they have been building up their nuclear program and missile program, so president obama is the next in a long line who will have some grey hairs because of this country. alisyn: i think it is already starting. no strategy has been successful, 55% of respondents to our polls a force should be used. how would pteron react to that? >> it is a very good question. my view is that most iranians now after june after the stealing of the election would not rally around the flag. people used to say that, that there is an attack on iran, the population is going to be patriotic, but that is what americans would do. i do not know that it is what iranians are going to do, considering the way that regime is hated in iran. alisyn: given what you know about the regime, what about these stronger sanctions, these sanctions with teeth, as they're called. would they respond to tho
