big problems, the big sources of instability in the region, that was iraq and the behavior of saddam hussein. there also were reports, they turned out not to be accurate. frankly, i do not think they were well evaluated, about the presence of weapons of mass destruction. certainly, saddam at various ofes had had intentions creating a nuclear bomb but clearly he had not gotten very far. also, he was reluctant to say he had not gone very far because he used that kind of weapons program to threaten his neighbors. on the basis of a lot of things, the united states went in. now, whether we can relitigate that issue going into iraq in 2003, when you live and work in something is not you spent a lot of time worrying about. you worry about how can we leave this a better place? it has been an enormous challenge and very difficult. when you look at a dictator like saddam hussein, it might be better -- rather than ask how do we get rid of him, how did he get there in the first lace? when you start looking at that, you see the complexity. i think we are where we are. we have a very tough customer and ma

saddam hussein would not back away from the policies he had pursued.t was no surprise in 2003 when i was approached by a newt gingrich's to begin planning intervention into iraq. as i went forward and put together the plan that was largely adopted and sent down to see tommy franks to things became very clear. first of all, we don't want to occupy but remove the inner circle at the top because that is an invitation to disaster. who wants a foreign army in their country? if you occupied north philadelphia after one month we would have shot at them to. you don't want foreign entities. not in your neighborhood. it would not take long. we bombed the country law the scale of roll toward to over 10 years we did not need to bomb them but take a small force to get rid of this and the iraqi military would cooperate. it seemed pretty straightforward but this changes and as a basalts of dr. wolfowitz and others in the administration determined they would transform iraq into a liberal democracy friendly to the west and israel. >> host: a lot of what you talk about

the very beginning there was their conviction that saddam hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go he says that going after saddam hussein was topic eight ten days after the inauguration eight months before september eleventh but that is that your experience as well as my experience in terms of the research i've done since i left office my first inclination of the focus on iraq was one richard haass then ambassador richard haass director of policy planning at state. i was a staff member came into his office and said i just talked to condi we're going to war with iraq and all of us you know picked our jaws up off the table and waited for him to go further and fortunately for us he didn't but that was my first and it was originally this was summer of two thousand and one as i recall so this was long before nine eleven this was before nine eleven that's reason our surprise and so forth i was particularly surprised that we would be focused on iraq given what i knew was the under current administration about what would later be revealed as the axis of evil and so forth iran iraq a

for example, saddam hussein, you mentioned it yourself, last 10, 15 years, the iraqi christians have urged in much greater numbers than they were you saun saddam. not that he was -- not a brutal man. but -- and then in syria, to the civil war that has -- that has led to some of the deprivations that mary talked about. >> and hezbollah had a lot to do with it. let's not forget the palestinian authority up until about 15, 20 years ago, bethlehem was a majority christian town. that's no longer the case again because of the rise of islamic fundamentalism but also its collusion with supposedly secular authorities. people -- this has been a major problem, of course, for the christian population, that has been persecuted and exiled. the truth is that the -- the country that will end up suffering the most are the middle eastern states themselves. they no longer have that vibrant commercial class, that ethnic and sectarian diversity that made the east what it is it today. >> what's pope francis trying to do? is he taking a tougher line? because you don't hear much about this issue. certainly i
