[applause] >> good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the koret auditorium of the san francisco public library. i'm a member of the african- american interest committee here at the library. it is our hope that you will be profoundly moved and inspired by what you hear and see today. social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the court, but in all aspects of society. this concept demands that people have equal rights and opportunity. everyone, from the poorest person on the margins of society to the wealthiest, deserves an even playing field. every race, every color, every culture. what happened in 1955 is not unlike what is exploding out of the headlines today. it was a young person's death that started the uprising in tunisia. it is young people on the front lines in egypt. slowly but surely, the young people in sudan are following

i would very much like what you have to say but i would i would suggest that gorbachev was a peacemaker but unfortunately the west has not responded in a like manner and the expansion of nato overseen as an aggressive rightly so and as you as you mentioned the events in georgia have a really terrific really very very dangerous very concerning and i can understand why this russian population sees this as a retreat as giving up concessions to the west but we have to understand that you know central europe eastern europe to be free to tell you know we are now in post but with the imperial face and i think that's one of the main major achievements it will be actually also understood that this need to be done and so he has restored the balance of power in europe again and he's a great peacemaker stephen. just go back to his project of democratizing. the soviet union at the time again you know him very well how did he understand that without the dissolving the communist party because you are of the you have the thesis that the communist party could have been reformed it could have been democr

in effect will result from a no fly zone no drive zone then it's a small military these building peacemaking and eventually it will be bowed down to the again to the american military open ended commitment to africa because like another accounting insurgency which might wind up allegedly with the nation building as american successful or not nation building look no further than iraq and afghanistan. those are the latest developments for you in libya washington says u.s. and allied forces not affectively establish a no fly zone over the country halting the advance of cauchy's troops against rebels in benghazi and u.s. france and britain targeted the libyan leader's forces with air strikes and dozens of cruise missiles the operation followed a summit in paris where twenty nations agreed to do everything necessary to make it out in respect of a u.n. security council resolution demanding a cease fire in libya in return khadafi vowed to a long war against the international coalition and has now promised to arm his people by opening weapons that would be in t.v. you quoted armed forces command as

which in effect will result from no fly zone no drive zone then it's a small military he's building peacemaking and eventually it will be boiled down to the again to the american military open ended commitment to africa so in fact it's also fits perfectly in the beginning of brzezinski theory and doctoring of the menage cows where the americans will thrive on this time i have very very serious reservations given all that then not on russia's concerns about they said but a change agent the russians concerned apart from the russian involvement in economic and infrastructure development north libya is that. by oh by the by the americans have they have opened the pandora's box they created a unique opportunity for the kind of the narrative to piggyback on this. this couse in the country and the second beach is more akin to the russian concern which i believe probably is under reported in the russian media because the rebiya can be turned and so really exploited as the main transit point of cocaine from latin america to africa and envies tripoli shores effectively use on the disguise of the military

prohibitions -- upheld prohibitions on the provisions of services in the form of human rights training and peacemaking to a foreign terrorist organization. they reject it the intermediate scrutiny argument the government made. they thought it satisfied strict scrutiny because it had a list of assets of eight foreign our nation. assets we cannot control because they are outside the united states. it specifically said, we are limiting our decision to eight and speech of foreign organizations. it said we are not addressing the issue of whether foreign advocacy would be permitted. this is advocacy in support of a domestic organization. the critical difference is, with respect to a domestic likeization al harmain lik-- al harmain, there is no risk that its treatment by the government can free up resources back al harmain that they can use for terrorist activities. there are about $400,000 they have frozen by the government's actions. unlike a form an organization, whose assets be government cannot control, their assets can be controlled. there is no risk that it will free up money that will be used for ter

hind was a mentor, she was a peacemaker. she was an educator. she was somebody that believed in civil society. she didn't treat it like very much politician, she never believed in them. >> but there's one thing that's really interesting or the most compelling something what do you do in the middle of a war if you're a woman? what can you do? in this particular situation she found these children and instead of just leaving them somewhere or walking by somewhere, she took them, started this school and drew a line around them, created this oasis for these kids and i think that that model of building a school is something that is progressive and it's modern and she also interfaced with a lot of the mores and problems young girls as muslims faced with their families and having to get married to somebody. >> yes, she always proposed these kinds of manly or behaviors. she really protected us and she would send us to men that wanted to take their caught thers to marry and she would say no, you are not allowed to do this. she has to choose and there's a

he said he saw his role as a peacemaker and once he realized he could not be effective there, he gaveit up. there was a lot of criticism from people who said he should not have taken the job in the first place. there are no set rules and it is mostly public reaction that determines everything. host: before we get to calls, is it known how many u.s. lobbyists and work for these foreign governments? guest: it is a fairly small number, probably 40 or 50 in the region, among arab nations. that is much smaller than the number of lobbyists in washington representing u.s. companies and interest, which is of boards of 10,000. -- which is up to about 10,000. there are some lobbyists who just will not do foreign interests of all because it is so dicey politically. it is a big payday, but you have to have the stomach for it. host: and is a question of perspective. lobbying goes on all the time. why is it important for us to understand this? guest: it is about transparency and knowing that decisions, like the one you mentioned on egypt, not moving ahead on cracking down on human rights abuses. th

as the emergence of protest movements to the arab world altered the dynamics of the peacemaking? given egypt's propagation with its internal issues, i assume egypt will not be very involved in israeli-palestinian diplomacy. how important is the removal of egypt from the peace process equation? is this a time when we should be pushing for with peace efforts, or should we wait for the regional dust to settle, to use that metaphor here, before making another push? what do you anticipate from the next court that meeting, which is likely to take place this month? i have one other question after that. >> thank you very much. we believe that a continuing effort on behalf of that two- state solution is in israel's interest, and in addition to that, in the interests of presenting a very affirmative effort in the midst of all this turmoil and change. our work continues, and we understand that changed landscape very well. one thing that both the israelis and palestinians depend on was egypt's support at camp david, the support for the peace process. i was pleased that the supreme council of
