israel we have open free elections as you have in many places around the world we have a very vibrant polity politics lots of different opinions in israel we look at things from the security point of view for a variety of reasons you can critique us about that i understand but that's what we're looking at i think that this government has stated clearly that they're willing to negotiate that they're willing to come to a compromise that they want to see a two state solution it isn't the same as imposing it from the outside sit down at a table agree to meet i honestly believe at this stage that mahmoud abbas is not willing to make this government i want to hope that perhaps somebody else in the palestine authority now calling itself palestine will agree to come meet this government and to talk about it if they don't sit down kevin we're never going to know but of course israel maybe not helping the matter could be said on top of the and i was with the settlements israel's also announced is not going to hold over a hundred million dollars of aid to the palestinians to pay back debts to israeli c

christmas like the christmas king and dust royal complex i think like people need to think about a polity is religion by religion and that we need to think about that question and family i think it really depends on the people you're talking about and we can make you. so dr victoria what do you think the best solution is for somebody that's struggling to of whether to get somebody to get their a christmas gift or say happy holidays what's the best solution from your standpoint. only. people act people. and those people that you don't know just because best to say nothing and then get the wrong thing maybe even let's not forget that christmas trees are german pagan tradition right well you know that they were they were mean historically but now they're fun things that we put decorations on and we sit around for two weeks and we throw them in the street you know at the end of the two weeks and say thanks for the memories you know it is what it is i still love what christmas represents you know the idea of family coming together it can be difficult it can be stressful i know that but when it

here's what he wrote, in the rough and tumble political combat, personality trumps polity.frequently described in the press with such adjective as brusque, aggressive and undiplomatic in the extreme. marsha, if susan rice were a man, do you think it's possible that the outcome could have been different? do you see any gender bias in this operation? >> i can surely tell you we would not be hearing those kind of criticisms. to begin with, i think the attack on her was clearly so overblown and really without foundation, and then to add insult to injury, this kind of rationale, when the original statements that she made on talk shows was patently absurd, really is angering because the idea that women are too brusque or they're to too aggressive is such a drastic put down on questioning the idea that she's not smart. these are the things that drive women crazy and there's been study after study about women in the corporate setting and in every setting, they're damned if they do, they're damned if they don't, if they don't put themselves forward, they're pushovers, they're too wr

coasts, ben-gurion dramatically shifted his focus in the first decade, building a different kind of polity, a society organized as an army under a concept of self-reliance that called for continuing warfare and military buildup. it was a notion that the struggle with the arabs would be very, very long and that they wouldn't understand that, they could never succeed until they were defeated on a serial basis. in less than a decade after its founding, israel had fielded the most agile and powerful armed forces in the middle east and had made secret plans with the help of france to become a nuclear power. by the time the united states -- and this is an interesting and important point -- by the time the united states got deeply involved in arming israel in the late 1960s, israel had already defeated the arabs in two rounds of war; the war of independence and suez. and it was preparing to do so for a third time in this 1967 -- in 1967 and was working urgently to fashion it first two french-supplied atomic explosives to use in case something went wrong in that war. the legacy of those zionist re

the next step in this competition, if you will, within the egyptian polity, is going to be parliamentary elections, which as i understand it are supposed to take place just a couple of months after the constitution is approved, assuming that it is ultimately approved. what can you tell us based on what we've seen over the last couple of months about how the competition for parliamentary elections is likely to shape up? >> sure. thanks, tammy. so, yes, in theory there is supposed to be parliamentary elections within two months. i think the big question here are liberals and non-islamists going to be brought back into the democratic process or are there still going to be elements that say the whole process is flawed, rigged, illegitimate, and they start to withdraw. and there was this debate in the lead-up to the referendum where you had parts of the opposition saying boycott because they don't want to grant legitimacy of the process in the first place and others saying, well, let's try to get our voices heard and limit the margin of victory. so we may have a similar debate for the parliam

. >> this is an amazing vision of politi politics. one politician, one economist, it's true.lutely true. any argument, you can get a politician, economist and 40 people. >>> as long as you have a party label. >> exactly. >> then it enters, once you get to 40 and 40, it enters a round where it's debated as if reality is debated. it's not what has been debated in this country for a long time. there are no hard and fast rules that apply. it is the political argument that wins the day, one way or the other. >> taxes are political, right? >> i want to follow up on what the governor was saying. he was given an example and highlighted. we have been talking about fiction, about well, okay, if we cut taxes, the economy gets better. then the fake argument is spend, spend, spend. in reality, as we are seeing it out, it's a mixture of both. we have to do smart investments, bringing in revenue and be smart in cutting spending. the excitement about this political time is we are discussing on a popular level and people are seeing in california what the initiative is with jerry brown and wha

is that a concern what actually was accomplished here beyond the politi politics?> it was a violation of missile launches, number one. so there will be action by the security council. i don't think they have the capability to reach the united states right now, but obviously, their missile technology, their intercontinental ballistic missile technology is developing. i mean, it's developed a lot since a year ago. so it should be of concern. the issue, i think, suzanne, is what do we do about it? we've tried engagement with them before. we've tried additional sanctions, and sanctions are probably going to happen from the european union, possibly more from the u.n., but almost every sanction is on north korea. i think the six-party countries, the united states, south korea, japan, russia, china. china is a big player here, because they have the most influence. they have to figure out how to deal with this new leader. i mean, they've got nuclear weapons. they've got missile technology, but they're also very poor. they're also possibly their sending a trial balloon sayi

for two decades the polity discourse and drc has been defined by a narrative focused on the ramifications of problems such as a neck from identity, citizenship issues, violence, booting of natural resources, but ignores her causes of the crisis. while the problem is often viewed as a disaster, which it is, drc is paralyzed by a political crisis that requires political solutions and that's where you have the greatest impact. congo has been muddling through a series of crisis for nearly two decades. the causes are well-known for weak leadership, no articulated vision in a legitimacy after the botched 111 election from a lack of capacity to resist or contain predatory dissent neighbors, i.e. rwanda, uganda and angola proliferation of armed groups and underachieving over politicized u.n. peace agreement. this cocktail of problems in a diplomatic community is a short-term interests of the country to present long-term stabilization of congo in central africa. so the m23 rebellion is understood to this optic. as the m23 crisis enters a new phase on the city of goma, the people of north seventh s

by 2011, at fiscal polity -- policy was neutral in respect to the economy. this year it will subtract from growth 8/10 of 1%. we have gone from fiscal stimulus to fiscal drag. we need to smooth into the fiscal drag. the government will be -- debating how much of a hand wind it will be -- head when it will be. we need to smooth into that drag. in the long run, we will be better off for it. >> is that a committee role? -- rule? >> it's not a rule. we will just keep it to a minimum. >> let me ask you for your response to his comment on the cycle of dependency. >> i think it is quite possible that is where we are. >> can i interject here? it feels that way to me. it feels like we are in a cycle of dependency. we are dealing with the 2011 debt limit and the stimulus from 2009. it is the same thing with different labels. i am having difficulty seeing a way out of this cycle, but i interested in your observations. >> the way that i think about this -- at moody's they have been careful to put in this perspective into their analysis. think about the way of what happe

what do you say to the polity makers out there about the notion that you can go over the cliff and thenelf back with little damage. >> i just don't like that, there is a scenario that says that some people believe, go over the cliff and in about two or three days we'll have it all settled. if we knew that was going to happen, i would say go right over the cliff, two or three days is not going to do any harm. suppose it's two or three weeks, suppose it's two or three months. you get the two or three months, you've got a recession on your hands for sure. >> as you point out, maybe three points on unemployment, that is a scary problem situation. processor thanks, howard winer from princeston. >> fresh off of lululemon's conference call, the ceo joins us. >> do you need a good deal on a hotel room? choice hotels which owns the comfort in, quality, as they break ground on three new hotels here in new york. if we want to improve our schools... ... what should we invest in? maybe new buildings? what about updated equipment? they can help, but recent research shows... ... nothing transforms sch

politi is very local. i am a big aficionado of urban politics. i have beeto a lot of mayors races around the country because this is where the rubber hits the road. mayors deal with life-and-death issues, quality of life issues, and they are responsible, city council members are responsible. and that is something that i think people -- there's something very good about that. obviously, there is a tradition of corruption that h touched our politics. our last two governors are in prison. that is not a shining of for the land of lincoln. but ilso think there are some very good people who cared deeply about the constituents. there is a vitality to our politics that i appreciate. >> we will be taking questions from those of you in the audience as well. in just a few minutes, we will bring up the microphone and ask you to one of behind them. in fact, some of the members of the student advisory committee are up there now. for those of you will have a question for david, please make your way down to the microphones and we will take your questions in just
