from latin america to central , north and to the u.s. america. i think it is good to reflect how this proceeds. in the entire world, visitpe has begun with and has visited some lands in europe. then he has visited asia. now he comes back to america, latin america and north america. in november,onth he will also be in africa. this means that the experience of the pope is universal and it is growing. growing not only meeting bishops from all parts of the world but also traveling in different parts of the world and problems ing the the mankind of today. feel that the pope is now ready to address global questions, very global questions and he is doing in latin america and the now, here in the u.s. and the united nations assembly. the pope feels to have now the experience and moral authority questionsnswers and to the most important assemblies of the world of today. speech he will have for congress and the u.n. assembly i think are very speed --ng because the speeds of a persian that has great moral authority and is a -- is able to interpret the quest

every president in latin america praised president obama for this change in policy. the european union added its praise, and of course, as peter mentioned, the pope gave his blessing. public opinion in the united states has been very favorable. there have been half a dozen polls done since september 17. -- december 17. the positive reaction is typically north of 50% to even 70% approval for the new policy. as time goes on, that number has been trending upward rather than down. even the cuban-american community in south florida, the most conservative element of that community in the u.s., there has been positive supports. the cuban american community is about equally divided. some polls showing a slight majority in favor. sums show a slight majority against. is, even in that community, people have come to see that a more normal state to state relationship empowers them as a community to rebuild the bridges to their family on the island. that is something we have seen been going on in the cuban community. that kind of reconstruction of family ties. now, the president h

i remember as a young man that john paul went to latin america.ent to poland and in poland he was able to support the solidarity movement there, but when he went to latin america, he said you people need to pray. he didn't endorse the movement for social justice that was taking place in latin america, but this pope being from latin america is supporting all of us who have been struggling for years to be noticed. latin america has been ignored for years. with this pope it's difficult it do. we're excited the south is preaching to the north. the united states carries around the bully pulpit often reaching in underwear. this pope is saying you're concerned about political prisoners in iran, political prisoner this is different parts of the world. well, you also have political prisoners, and he's been speaking to president obama about car rows rivera who has been in prison for 34 years just because he wants self-determination for the people of puerto rico. >> as anne thompson was corroborating earlier, he's pretty fearless with what he addresses. i wa

long time, isolating cuba without any positive result exempt alienating an awful lot of people in latin america. that alienation now has no cause. you have the opportunity for rein engagement in north and south america in a way we have not seen before and that has potential on a whole host of issues, for instance, drug policy where the latin americans want real reform in the way that the world looks at legal drugs and perhaps legalization of certain drugs, because these countries are suffering so much from the war on drugs, for instance in mexico, but elsewhere. i think there's also potential knock on effects to various issues that have bedeviled latin america and north america relations for so long. >> you think all of that can happen simply by normalizing relations with cuba? i do, because it's been a thorn between the u.s. and its southern neighbors. it's really been an obstacle. it's the u.s. at its worse, most demanding, most ideological, most unyielding to the continuing pressure that there's been for many years from latin american countries for a more realistic policy towards cuba. it's

so in terms of the middle east, i am starting in latin america relations i think like that kissinger and his relationships, you look at the middle east. my understanding is kissinger locked in an impasse. he committed the u.s. to not recognizing a palestinian state and tell palestine recognize israel's right to exist without demanding the same on the part of israel. beyond that, i think kissinger gets a pass on his middle east policy. he is responsible for the shah. it the massive sale and transfer of high-tech weapon tree to tie iran and saudi arabia, that was kissinger's engineering. it had to do with figuring out ways to recycle dollars into the united states. it also set up saudi arabia and iran as the guardians of the golf in a post- vietnam kind of realignment. when people want to think about blowback from the middle east, they look at the 1980s, they look at the cia's, and afghanistan. but in many ways that infrastructure was put into place by kissinger. it is just not just one person responsible for the impasse of the cassette catastrophe. kissinger has more of a responsibili
