host: thanks for your call, david. john? guest: i would like to extend my gratitude to you as well and to your family. one thing, as you spoke that struck me, i have seen so many letters home from world war ii soldiers mentioning their young sons and saying i'm fighting now so that my sons won't have to ever have to do this again. then when i read that, i'm always struck by a real sense of sadness because as an historian i know how things are going to turn out and how it turned out is by the 1960's the united states was involved in the vietnam war. so, many sons of world war ii veterans like yourself went off to war and that is the way so many fathers felt. they wished they could have done it so their kids wouldn't have to deal with it. i'm sure you can relate to that much better than anyone can imagine with your own son going to iraq. as a military historian, what strikes me is the tragic continuum of how wars seem to happen for every generation throughout human history, not just our own modern u.s. history, which i study i

i would look at john ericson's work and anything by david glants. i highly recommend. because you will get a good look at the eastern front. >> next up is around from caller: i was calling to in defense of the russia. they certainly -- we wouldn't have been able to invade normandy, and we would have done it at a much higher cost if they hasn't taken so many troops away from the east. that's basically all i had to say. thanks. host: thank you. john, go ahead. guest: that's an excellent point. the cost of invading normandyy would have been much higher if the sofeyts hasn't done what they had done over the last two to three years. that was the point stalin was making was, hey, you've got to help me out here. you've got to have a major effort to sifen off part of the german army because i'm dealing with most of it here. that's why stalin didn't feel like the campaign in north africa or italy were really valid second fronts. and that's why he wanted a bone fide invasion of france from the beginning of the big three at the end of 1941 when the u.s. was in the war all the way

host: john mercurio, thanks as always. david makovsky is author of this new book, "myths, illusions, and peace." guest: good to be with you, steve. host: the call it the cairo speech, pointing out that words are important. mr. obama was right when he urged leaders privately speak of moderation and compromise to dare to say those words in public, but the words are not enough. mr. obama, who had been in office less than six months, has a lot to do to fulfil this mission, and so do others. guest: i mean, clearly what depressed and it is trying to do is turn the page in the muslim world, began a new dialogue, try to transcend old divisions, search for some common ground, and he is trying to open a conversation with them. at the same time, as he said himself, everything does not change with one speech. but i think one of his prime objectives is to get a lot of people in different muslim communities around the world to reevaluate their attitudes toward the united states and to create a wider distance between some of these muslim commu

>> so it's john lannan tomorrow for the nats, he's 4-5 against david hernandez being called up from triple-aor the orioles. >> i'm going to make one statement about john lannan. any club in the major leagues right now he can make. that's how good a pitcher he is. he might be a number five on some of those great clubs, but he can pitch anywhere. the man has done a great job for us. >> won two of his last four starts. i don't have to tell thank you. how about hernandez, 3-2 at norfolk. >> just his second start in his career. all i'm seeing is fastballs. we don't have that much on him, but he was throwing fastballs in the low 90s. had both outings over five innings, gave up 10 hits his first outing, five hits his second outing. just one earned run in his last outing. so he's getting his, as my mother would say, a little wet behind his ears. >> so the nationals with a loss tonight, they fall to 21-51. 34-40 for the orioles with the win tonight. and they'll go again tomorrow. see if they can salvage game three of the series. >> john lannan will pitch tomorrow night and he'll keep us in the ballga

>> yes in the context of this decade with a national purges going on historian john de mello and others in david johnson have written about, the primary reason that we can look to florida is that in florida like many other southern states in this time after the brown of the import of an education supreme court decision in '54 and '55, florida and many other states that this investigation committees and in florida and was quite clear that the investigation committee was established to harass and intimidate solarize workers primarily members of the naacp to try to grandest desegregation efforts appear bound and the naacp was a fairly strong institution by that point and could rebuff the committee to some degree here and and so we have a committee set in place for that reason. another interesting thing about florida is its political structure, particularly in the early 20th-century. people talk about north florida and south florida and the line goes from actually pretty far north of near to all county near jacksonville and slices diagonally across the state over to the gulf area. north florida was
