he often spoke about his time in morocco.ready started the process of applying for foreign service and reading books about american diplomats. i still remember him reading memoirs of george cannon, one of our most famous diplomats and reading publications like foreign affairs magazines. as a summer associate in a washington office he was tasked to go to yale law school and talk about his experiences in the middle east. his mother received post card from chris saying, hi, everybody. i'm here at yale law school giving a lecture on morocco carpet law. he lived his family. his grandmother, an artist, had a number of paintings at the old mint in san francisco. they reflected scenes from that part of california. he took us down there and proudly showed us her work. although he traveled the world his family was always in his thoughts. california was always his home. what i will most remember about chris is how thoughtful he was and how people were drawn to him. chancellor wu wrote when chris was appointed ambassador, friends, profes

that effect can be easily seen today in a living city, a city like fez, morocco.archaeologists have come to fez because the same high degree of specialization suggested by the ruins of ostia can be seen here in the flesh. the population and density of the old city of fez has remained the same since the 10th century. archaeologist david webster. the old city of fez had about 120,000 people for its total population. this would have been an equivalent of a population density of tens of thousands of people per square mile. now, the only reason why that was possible, especially in a nonindustrial context, was that you had a very effective agricultural environment around fez within, say, 15 or 20 miles radius. but you also had very effective forms of nonhuman transport -- donkeys, camels, horses, mules -- that could bring in all of the kinds of supplies that the city needed. now, that's one reason why you had such high population densities. one of the effects of really high population densities, of course, is to create very dense urban markets, lots of consumers concent

representatives of 130 countries met with opposition figures in morocco. the so-called friends of syria group recognized the opposition as the legitimate representative of the syrian people. following the lead of the eel and the u.s. -- of the eu and the u.s. >> this is an important step. we think it is important the national coalition continue to work on democratic and -- on the democratic platform. this is the new and democratic syria. this is a serious in which -- a syria in which all other religious and ethnic groups have a clear place. >> the secretary general of the arab league also said the situation had not changed. >> we have a new national leadership -- has now changed. >> we have a new national leadership. the fighting has now reached damascus. that shows the current regime is on its last legs. >> at the meeting in marrakesh, the friends of syria agreed to set up a plan for reconstruction efforts in a post-assad syria. it aims to finance propositions, but may not be used -- to finance reconstruction propositions, but may not be used for weapons.

if there is one country that has figured it out, it is morocco. >> my basic argument for the proposition on our side of the debate is an argument for reality. open your eyes and seeing where we are today, two years into these uprisings and changes. in region of the world just narrowly focused on the middle east, which has about 20 countries, the vaccine political change in four of them. -- you have seen political change in four of them. we're at the start of a process. our response from washington has been very philosophical and intellectual, but not very operational. this process is moving forward. when you look at the demographic, social, economic pressures that these societies face -- as some of these countries, political islamist forces will come to power. politics is becoming much more complicated in the middle east. what worries me the most in washington is that we ourselves do not have a functional political discourse about our own issues, let alone how do we respond in clear, strategic ways to these events in the region. i think the region is in for a long. of time of change the

i worked as an english teacher in morocco two years and quickly grew to love this part of the world.oining the service i spent almost my entire career in middle east and africa. one of the things that impressed me were people old enough to have lived and traveled in the united states when we had closer relations. those days are back. we had 1,700 libyans apply for fullbright grants to study in the united states this year, more than any other country in the world. we know that libya is still recovering from an intense period of conflict. there are many courageous libyans who bear the scars of that battle. we are happy we have been able to treat some of your war wounded at u.s. hospitals. we look forward to building partnerships between american and libyan hospitals to help return libya's healthcare system to the extraordinary standards of excellence it once enjoyed. over my shoulder here you can see the u.s. capitol building. in that building 535 elected representatives from every corner of america come together to debate the issues of the day. they are men and women from every religi

ambassador to morocco and former deputy senior adviser on the middle east policy, thanks for sticking. is this going to be the death nail to any possibility of negotiations in the near term? >> i sometimes wonder, eliot, as someone who is deeply concerned with the fate of a two-state solution. constructing this area between jerusalem and the e 1 corridor. after that vote in the general assembly couple with benjamin netanyahu's race for election, this is a reaction to the palestinian reaction at the general assembly than it had to do with hamas and the conflict there or anything that the united states may or may not be doing. that's what i'm most concerned about. >> eliot: there are domestic foundations to every foreign policy but this seems to be a step that uniquely puts the finger in the eye of the international community and makes it difficult to come back to the negotiating table. i'm mystified if you have hamas and abbas, he wants to make hamas the enemy and abbas the negotiating party, he does not seem to be turning to abbas as someone to play ball. and then the necessary next s
