take an opportunity -- i hope you guys don't mind -- to brag about each of you, starting with madeleine albright. usually, madeleine does the talking. once in a while, she lets her jewelry do the talking. when saddam hussein called her a "snake," she wore a serpent on her lapel the next time she visited baghdad. when slobodan milosevic referred to her as a "goat," a new pin appeared in her collection. as the first woman to serve as america's top diplomat, madeleine's courage and toughness helped bring pea to the balkans and paved the way for progress in some of the most unstable corners of the world. and as an immigrant herself -- the granddaughter of holocaust victims who fled her native czechoslovakia as a child -- madeleine brought a unique perspective to the job. this is one of my favorite stories. once, at a naturalization ceremony, an ethiopian man came up to her and said, "only in america can a refugee meet the secretary of state." and she replied, "only in america can a refugee become the secretary of state." we're extraordinarily honored to have madeleine here. and obviously, i think it

honorees this year include former secretary of state madeleine albright, former astronaut john glenn, and musician bob dylan. this is about 35 minutes. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. everybody, please have a seat, and welcome to the white house. it is an extraordinary pleasure to be here with all of you to present this year's medals of freedom. and i have to say, just looking around the room, this is a packed house, which is a testament to how cool this group is. everybody wanted to check them out. this is the highest civilian honor this country can bestow, which is ironic, because nobody sets out to win it. no one ever picks up a guitar, or fights a disease, or starts a movement, thinking, "you know what, if i keep this up, in 2012, i could get a medal in the white house from a guy named barack obama." that wasn't in the plan. but that's exactly what makes this award so special. every one of today's honorees is blessed with an extraordinary amount of talent. all of them are driven. but, yes, we could fill thi

we were meeting a russian senior leader and madeleine albright came over to tom pick erg and the red of the russian desk and me. they started and said, you know, everybody here speaks russian. let's do the meeting in russian. so they started talking in russian. then the interpreter looks around and sees that i'm the only guy that doesn't speak russian. he comes over to interpret for me. i thought to myself, i'm glad jesse helms isn't watching this. this is a sign of how much had changed, that not only could you have real dialog between people -- countries which had non, zero, some interest even though they were not in a strategic partnership and where human rights could be discussed and that our diplomats could have the kind much knowledge of the other country that previously they only had about us and we didn't have going the other way, i would note also that it was during this period that guantanamo arose as an issue at my last birthday, my family and i counted that i have worked on guantanamo for -- on my birthday for 17 of the last 22 birthdays, which is a very scary thought. and

the very next day, madeleine albright, who also played a big role and vital voices, she was on "meet the press" with tim russert and he said, madam secretary, do you think women see the world believe that man? she said, of course we do. so, it was night and day. but there was a little wine in the book where you say that women -- line in the book where you say women see problems that men don't see and to solve things from the inside out within a country is the way to go about it. that is why the support that you give the women in their own countries become very important. >> our approach, which i believe is a very female approach -- >> what does it mean, a female approach? >> we go income i think, listening. so, we go into a country and we don't say, okay, here of the 17 problems and here are the 17 solutions. in some cases, this might be a good approach, but we believe in the work that we do, that would not be the best approach. we believe the best approach is to go into a country and to seek out and find those people, those leaders who have a solution and will have the ideas and inv

holbrooke brilliantly did in dayton and in the third is the concept of atrocities prevention, which madeleine albright and bill cohen and others did was to bring this forward the president has now signed a directive on the prevention board for exactly the kind of early warning. and then finally, democracy building as a longer-term antidote, the community of democracies and other kinds of devices. so, these were horrible the episodes but i think what it did is triggered structural change which is one of the hardest things to get in the human rights area. >> i agree with what herald said. i think that there's another factor here will probably is evolving that's evolved very fast and that international attention. in effect, rwanda was remote out of the way, not what tended to slow rolling in the public while it was rapidly filling in the disaster, so that i think all the things back. only a other hand, darfur had more press attention than it had peacekeeping capacity and add more early press attention which was complemented by a very elite deployment. so in fact, it wasn't a sovereign answer, what was a

because all she'd seen, she hadn't quite internalized colin powell, but she had madeleine albright, condoleezza rice and hillary clinton. so i think the expectations we have for our daughters and for women in the world have changed so much. is everything fixed? absolutely not. do we still have a long way to go? absolutely. is the world for my daughter a completely different world in certain ways than it was for me growing up? there's no doubt about it. >> host: what did you mean when you refer to gloria steinem's phrase, "female impersonators"? >> guest: i think when women are growing up, we get a lot of messages from the outside world. some intentional, some not so about how we're supposeed to be, about how we're supposed to fold our hands and be obedient and say certain things and not say others and look a certain way and be pleasers. i think that's really what gloria meant. and she will be the first to say that she was that girl, and, of course, i quote meryl streep who is so smart and so outspoken in, um, her commencement speech at barn ard college in 2010 saying that one of the roles she w

and it wasn't until 1997 that when i became ambassador at large for war crimes issues and madeleine albright became secretary of state that we took a very strong initiative in the u.s. government to try to achieve these arrests of these individuals. no arrests had taken place in 996 after dayton -- 1996 after dayton. and there were many obstacles that were confronted, and i can only speculate as much as i wish to about this issue. again, it came down, i think, sometimes to the safety of the soldiers. in other words, if you go after the war criminals, will there be retribution against the soldiers who are deployed on the ground? and secretary albright and i just kept arguing against that. well, wait a minute, you know, they are risk takers, that is part of their job to be there, to do that. and, frankly, get a very dangerous element out of that society. and that is the indicted war criminals. get them out of there. they're poisoning the system. of trying to achieve a more peaceful and stable society. so that was a difficulty. with respect to the george w. bush administration, um, i do write a

atrocities prevention which -- and what madelyn albright and bill cohen and others did was bring -- madeleine albright and bill cohen and others did which was sign a directive -- atrocities prevention board for exactly the kind of early warning. and then finally democracy building. as a longer term ant doket -- antidote. and so these were horrible ep societies but what i -- episodes but what i think it did was trigger structural change which is hard in the era. >> i agree with what harold said. i think there is another fact, harold, that probably is evolving but evolved very fast and that's international attention. in effect, rwanda was remote, out of the way. not well intend -- well-attended to. and so on the other hand, darfur had more press attention than it did peacekeeping capacity. and it had early press attention which was complicated by very late deployment. so in fact it wasn't the sovereign answer, but it was a piece of the puzzle that was absolutely necessary but entirely insufficient to make the process go ahead. there is the will of the international -- in new york. or there's the ability
