it's going to leave in the united states and arrive in moroc morocco. during the planning stage, the british tell patton, we think your landing is irrelevant. patton would get furious. he was stationed in washington at the time. he got so mad one day he came home to his house, and he picked up a small statue, that his wife had purchased in hawaii, it was a lava carving. they named it charlie. it was a war god. and it was supposed to bring warriors good luck. patton takes charlie out into the backyard and throws it into the pond and says, this is such a mess, i'm so angry. so patton takes this ship onto shore, and the first thing he sees is a british officer in an american uniform walking up to him holding charlie. that's charlie right there. the british officer is robert enri quez. patton said, what's going on? and he tells him, listen, wife gave this to me. she went and fished it out of the pond and gave it to me. he was his liaison officer with the british. he said give this to georgie when he lands, it will bring him good luck. that's the first thing

in conservative parts of morocco, it's unacceptable for a woman to lose her virginity before marriage and it dishonors her and her family, even if she's raped. the marriage of the rapist to his victim restores the family honor, but amenia's mother said the family is the man who raped her daughter were not interested. translator: he brought disaster to my daughter. i was obliged to marry her to him because i could not permit my dagget to have no future to stay unmarried. i went to talk with his family. they said he wouldn't marry her and she was a slut. they told me go complain to the authorities. we are not afraid. >> that's exact wlay amenia's parents did. when the case went to court, the judge ruled that the man who raped amenia could only avoid prosecution if he married her. amenia's mother told her she was being badly treated. translator: he raped my daughter. he mistreated my daughter. she complained to me that she was mistreated, that she didn't get fed, that he threatened to kill her if she stayed there. i told her not to be afraid, to be patient. to be very patient. >> the sui

with regards to algeria and morocco, we've noted a steep increase in terms of the volume of deliveries to algeria. if you look at the orders, you can see reactions there. so i think if you put both parts of the data together, you can get interesting sort of findings on the concerns about racing and other factors there. i was going to add to rachel's comments. at the moment we have u.n. arms embargoes which tend to be treated as that's the baseline in terms of what's considered ig legitimate if you're authorizing a transfer to an entity that's subject to u.n. security council sanctions, this enalready you've got a baseline there. as rachel said, there are other cases which i think many of us consider sort of on anointed grounds illegitimate. we hope the att will enable a building up by the states parties by other things agreed upon as being sort of unacceptable. >> and just to add to that, while we all recognize kind of the value of the u.n. arms embargoes many national laws do not reflect the il legality of violating a u.n. arms embargo. so you may be violating the embargo but may not

. >> in a moment, we will be turning our attention to morocco. activists are angry at the government about laws that allowed a rapist to escape conviction if he married the woman he raped. a law that recently drove a 16- year-old girl to commit suicide. >> we will have more on that and the latest on that leak at a gas platform off the coast of scotland. >> do not go away. >> dw on the internet with a new address and a completely revamped online presence. journalistic quality in 30 languages. insightful, diverse, and in multimedia formats. visit us at www.dw.de. >> returning to one of our top stories now. in news just in, the syrian president says he will spare no effort to insure the success of an international peace initiative of his striped-torn nation, but he warns it will not work unless countries stop funding and arming the rebels will oppose him. >> the warning comes as iraq hosted the arab league summit for the first time in 20 years. leaders discussed how to press damascus for a rapid implementation of that peace plan. ending violence is

and i think he does look to morocco with -- as one potential model. and the king of morocco is kind of interesting example of someone who did look at what was happening and decided he had to get out in front of it. and what has emerged there, again never going to be anything that will be work perfectly, but it was emerged there has some potential and i think at least the king of jordan is still trying to think through, is that an appropriate model or hybrids that he will try to pursue. my sense is that he really is genuinely wrestling with it but the con tetext is a difficult context and there are no simple answers for it. >> steve? >> you may want to go to another question? >> we've got right here, dan philpot. >> i'm dan philpot from the university of notre dame thank you for an excellent panel. one of the things i appreciated about it how much each analyst takes seriously the kind of sincere and genuine role of of religion in world affairs. but it wasn't always so. in his book the eagle and lion, james birecounts the story of analyst ernie olney sa

and will close in morocco just six weeks i things before.t anyway, we were serving not allowed in syria and the rain and so on and so forth. of course, there was a big thing made out of whether we will win that one, on the web whether we covered bahrain or not. i don't know what the hoopla is coming from except. especially al-jazeera english has been winning awards for its documentary in bahrain. al-jazeera was suddenly made, was known, has become known as the international festivals of television and documentaries because it's a documentary on bahrain that the bahraini government threatened to sever relations with them. so do we pay enough attention to the 59th egyptians or 80 million egyptians as we did to the 3000 iranians? probably not. probably we did much more. did we have access to bahrain like with access to egypt? no, we didn't. was there something taken on more of a sectarian by default, not by design, or by design from the outside, not the inside, from saudi arabia, iran perhaps, i'm not sure. was a iran taking a different path th

or read about morocco or they know about morocco, and they know about this welcoming quality and about its positive feeling of its people. i frequently say that the first two words that a dealer named english or your welcome. you're welcome into our house and into our business, you are welcome to our country, and i think that that is a very telling factor. to be sure, the arab spring has had a very positive affect in that there has been a change in government, changing constitution, and now you have a coalition and the government headed by a man who is part of a real political party that organized in a way that said that this country could have reforms in a meaningful way. his majesty is still the most powerful figure in the country, but is doing so acting in a manner that is consistent with the sharing of power of the government. so briefly what you have here is the opportunity for american companies to come in. we already have 150 or more in the country. they do very, very well. we have a very strong central bank and understand what you're doing and the nature of commerce in the coun

and this is really the formula that we see increasingly adopted in places like morocco and egypt and elsewhere. now, let me turn to a third example and that is for pakistan, and here we have a country where actually one cannot claim that islamism has been repressed. islam in pakistan has always found a place since the state was created in 1947, and even in times when the state sought to crush the duties, and others, the courts came to his rescue and to the organization's regs cue and the organization persisted. and under the rule in the 1980s, while the state of pakistan became more repressive, it did not become more repressive towards islamists. indeed, gave them added leeway in the political sphere, social and judicial sphere and no one can claim that that has had a moderating effect on pakistan. indeed today pakistan has an extremism problem. so does that mean that the statement is wrong and that the option is true? that repression breeds moderation and exclusion breeds radicalism? well, of course not. we have plenty of examples. whether it's in algeria in the 1990s or egypt durin

it has a border with morocco? >> morocco, niger, senegal at the very bottom. >> hinojosa: senegal. so does the government... what does the government say? >> well, i have to... the good news is we finally have a newly elected government, and actually elected, for the first time in a long time in mauritania. and the government now is beginning to bring into place an antislavery program and plan. that had happened with the previous government that was... there was the first democratic election in, like, 50 years, and a government came in that stayed in about two years, and asked us to help them write a plan for the eradication of slavery in the country. and th there was a coup d'etat, anthe lita too over, and they've just gone out about a year ago now. so the mauritanian government is beginning to move in the right directions, and that's fantastic. but it takes a long time, because, like the united states in 1865, with four million people stepping out of slavery, they need all kinds of support. and the people in slavery in mauritania who are coming out need all kinds of support. and

unprecedented in my 30 years working in the region going back to when i was a peace corps volunteer in morocco in 1980, what we've seen in the last year is unprecedented. one of the the things have i learned is there is a new generation coming up and this generation is very plugged in to the internet and it very plugged in to satellite television. they know much more about how to upload different kinds of videos than -- i mean, i'd never watched youtube until i went out as ambassador to syria. now i watch it every day. >> don't want to know what you watch. >> we won't go there, senator. >> but what i would say is there is no history but the people there that are leading the protest movement, they have a vision, they have a vision and i heard this very strongly when i went to mhoma and when i went t damascus. i heard this very strongly. they want a country where people are treated with dignity, everybody treatedwith dignity. that's the key word, dignity. and they have a country ruled by law. my own experience having served in iraq for four years isthin g it takes time. saw the same thing in alg

you heard that the mark of morocco is stability. many would argue, to some degree that's what ambassador pickering was arguing that the mark of iraq is the still instability. we can't deny that to some degree. i'll try 18 second to put that in somewhat different context. let me talk about the business opportunities and the economy. iraq is set, if it can keep its political and security situation stable, to explode. it's got a per capita income of about 31, 3200. which is very, very low even for, well, low to the rest of the region and low compared to much of sub-saharan after friday california on the other hand its hydrocarbon reservings, 140 billion barrels known, probably 30 billion if not more in the kurdish area. plus, huge tracks of unexplored terrain west of the country. bring it up close to saudi arabia's 240 billion of oil reserves, and in addition iraq has unquestionably more natural gas, so in terms of hydrocarbons it can compete eventually and underline eventually, with saudi arabia. it's got plans of the next eight or ni

he had conquered algeria and morocco, he knew what the seething arab world was like and when he said we should not become an occupying power in it, he meant exactly what he said. and he was right i think. >> another book that you wrote some years ago i think 1991 was "man to man." >> yes. >> about? >> it was about -- that would have been in 1994, i think. >> i may have the wrong date. >> and it was a memorable experience, which i felt that i should share with other people. partly because i wanted to draw men's attention to the fact that this is a serious a problem as breast cancer is for women. and, therefore, not something to be taken lightly. and partly because i wanted to make patients question doctors about their treatment. i think had i known then what i know now, i would probably have thought twice about undergoing a radical prostatectomy and the heavy surgery that was in my case involved and might have opted for a different kind of treatment. so, i part ly wanted to empower and challenge the doctors because i think all too often particularly with surgeons who have a lot of per

it couldn't be business as usual from morocco all the way to yemen. and people there really had to think outside the box. so our third priority area is helping those countries complete their transitions to democracy, and this will not be easy, and it certainly will not happen overnight. i often tell leaders in this region that, you know, the united states has been working on our democracy for more than 235 years, we're still in the process of trying to perfect it, but we have to make steady progress. that's not an excuse for either standing still or going backwards. engaging with islamist parties is going to be a new but necessary effort on the part of the united states which we are undertaking at every level. now, obviously, not all countries in the region are embracing the mantel of reform. we continue to apply pressure on assad and his regime in syria to stop the brutality, and we work with the opposition and like-minded countries to try to help them be in a position to be part of a successful political transition. so as the region transforms, so m
