my name is john avlon. my most recent book is "wingnuts: how the lunatic fringe is hijacking america.">>k it is a book that is about the rise of extremism that we have e seen in the opening of the obamt years. it is an attempt to remind us f that we face forces of befor and extremism. they are not isolated to one t political party or the other. neither political party has ahes monopoly on virtue or vicevirtue prefer get that in our over in egypt intent -- overheatedhese intense debates. i, as an independent, get concerned that we are hurting our country in the process. more and more americans who are independent are effectively politically homeless in this to debate, and we need to push bace on these hyper partisans who aru hijacking hour debate in thei' l country. so let me tell you a little bit about the wing nut. well, what is a wing that? wng well, it will not, as i definetf it, is someone on the far right or far left.l the professional partisans, the professional polarizes, the paranoid conspiracy theo

but at the same time so many of us were bereft of having lost to john. and having to deal with that was extremely challenging. i have a picture of john next to my desk. i will always remember him and his commitment. part of what i had to figure out on that day immediately was what was in charge of laguna right now. that is how things are. it was a sudden death. we were not at all prepared. but even at that moment, someone had to be in charge of laguna honda. you cannot have a hospital running without a license administrator in charge. i chose someone i have tremendous faith and, and also somebody that john had tremendous faith in. and i know that it was always intended. john had intended that succession. but it was not obviously going to be in the way it happened. it was going to be in a number of years. she would have had a chance to mentor into that role. people would have gotten used to her. when he felt we were taking care of he would have moved on. that was his way. instead, she was suddenly catapulted into this job in a much more difficult circumst

>> here's the bigger problem, john.t, the diplomatic effort and the military effort are not aligned yet. that's caused tremendous amount of problem. you are right. tell the military to take kandahar, they will and hold it as long as they tell you to and do a phenomenal job. but if the diplomatic and political effort here and there aren't aligned, the troops will never be successful and i argue that they have not aligned all three of those efforts at the same time and i do believe that if they do, you can probably have a smaller troop footprint that targets al qaeda, that targets the areas of the cross border operations where taliban finds safe haven in the tribal areas of pakistan and i would argue you'll still have to have a pretty aggressive engagement with iran with the efforts in the western part of afghanistan. they're up to no good there and setting a timeline, a political equation, you tell karzai, gee, we'll be gone soon. who's the biggest friend in the neighborhood? it is iran right on their border. all of thes
