she was given a nobel peace prize for her tree-planting projects that were happening in kenya, and what the peace prize committee was saying is that planting trees and restoring our natural resources is central to peace and security because if somebody's natural resources have been destroyed, those people move to find the resources that they need. and when they move, they put more pressure on the, on the few resources that are left, and people end up fighting over them. so i believe you're absolutely right. >> time for one more question over here. where is it? oh, here? okay. >> i was just curious and maybe i missed this because i wasn't here this morning, but what would need to happen in copenhagen from your perspective to call it a success? >> that's a great question. because we have sort of danced around it in the last day or so, but there was great hope that the united states would go to this copenhagen treaty with a bill in hand where the united states had made a commitment to cut it greenhouse gas emissions by a huge amount. and all of the eyes of the world are on the united state

it was a road map for, their suggestion establishing something like a commission in kenya. and i think an initiative like that is a very worthwhile undertaking. i think it offers everybody what they're looking for, an opportunity to reflect an honest and open, transparent manner. to look at what are some of the activities that could take place that are positive? others are already on this wavelength. i think my personal opinion would be that we can reflect very seriously. this would not be an international effort. this would be a joint afghan international effort. i would you in that direction buried i completely agree with the points that you made. -- i would point you in that direction. i completely agree with the points that you made. the whole political party issue was near and dear. i think a lot of people were surprised. i am certainly looking forward to, in afghanistan, you're going to need political parties. they do not support that, and it is a detriment to party development. this is something -- and development of political parties is not want to take place overni

backsliding is always a threat as we have learned as in places like kenya.democratic change occurs, we can afford to become complacent. we have to continue reenforcing ngo's and the fledgling institutions of democracy. young democracies, like liberia, east timor, kosovo, they need our help to secure their improvements and their welfare. we must stay engaged to nurture democratic development. we stand ready, both in our bilateral the ships and through international institutions, to help governments who have committed to improving themselves by assisting them in fighting corruption and helping to train police forces and public servants. we will support regional organizations and institutions, like the organization of american states, the african union, and the association of southeast asian nations, where they take their own steps to protect their democratic institutions. even as we enforce the successes and conscience demands so we are not cowed by the overwhelming difficulty in making inroads in hard places like sudan, combo, north korea, zimbabwe, or on the

as one of their initiatives at seacoast church, they decided to make a difference in a community in kenya it with coins simply saved by foregoing soft drinks and coffee over the couple of weeks leading up to christmas. and 50 cents here and 75 cents there doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice but cumulatively it enabled that search to provide five water purification machines that ultimately would save 15,000 people or provide water for 15,000 people there in central africa. or take it more locally what wayne fields and his team at the oliver gospel mission are doing in the lives of homeless people a couple of blocks from where we are right now. if every person volunteered just one day a month it would dwarf anything the government might do in the way of social service. so here in the new year, let's recognize that many families across our state and across this nation are indeed hurting in these particular economic times, that there is a lot of need out there, in some cases, i mean unimaginable levels of need as we see the tragedy of haiti unfolding. and it all begs one simple question, ca

with high scores, then that comes in as a high score of that business doing business, let's say, in kenya or south africa or places like that. if, on the other hand, a corporation goes to a country and that country permits that corporation to act uneetsically, to do things which would in their home country have contributed to a lower score, then that will contribute to a lower score in that country in which they're doing business. so we do pick up these. in fact, this index may be one of the few that actually does pick up the behavior of companies in other countries. u.s. companies and other countries. host: clayton, north carolina. democrat's line. caller: good morning and thank you so much for taking this call. i'm very concerned about our economic freedom and have fought for a long while that we just don't have any. and this is because we have to pay so much tax. the average, when their parents die, and these parents are probably offered a lot to economic freedom through their companies and everything, and yet they have to pay what is tant amount to a death duty. and our personal freed

few people could have dreamed that a day with a man with a mother from kansas and a father from kenya would be sworn in as the 44th president of the united states of america. i never thought i would live to see the day that i would see mr. obama as president of the united states. but even 50 years ago when such america could barely dream of such a future, dr. king knew this day would come. his vision never faltered in spite of the dark days he witnessed and the tragic violence and eventually took his life. the march toward equality has been long. it began long before dr. king walked this earth and it will continue long after all of us are gone. so long as this great nation endures, dr. king's spirit will live on in our highest as aspirations. his voice rings through our history. although he did not live to see the promised land, his steadfast gaze still guide our every step and his booming voice sets the a cadence of our march. and we know he will be waiting for us when we get there. in the future a monument to dr. king will rise on the national mall, just a short distance from the gr
