saddam hussein became the hate figure for all of america and the country that you'd known through yournts and your mum as a place of heritage, of language, of food, of all of these positive warm feelings, suddenly was defined to most americans as somewhere hateful and frightening. yeah, my mother saw that happening right in front of us, and i remember seeing the first live real—time images of iraq that i've ever seen in my life, which were green tinted, coming from the night vision on cnn. there were pictures of buildings that were being blown to bits, that i was never going to be able to visit. as we were watching this, my mother turned to my brothers and i and said, "you know, there's no iraqi restaurants in new york?" it was like the riddle of the sphinx. years later, i understood that she was pointing out that iraq was not visible in the us beyond oil and war. and we'll get to iraqi restaurants in new york later. sure. because although you're an artist, one of your installations was indeed inside a restaurant and was all about food and connections between food and culture and art.

they were so much a part of the saddam hussein story that the iraqi government wanted them back. to you in such a broad way, a sort of artistic, experiential way? just as a point of clarification, which is interesting in answering your question, i was collaborating with a chef at this restaurant called park avenue and the chef's name was kevin lasko, and what we did with that project was really kind of look at the way that a menu happens. and a menu is presented to you almost like, almost like the accession cards in a museum now that tells you exactly what kind of pigment is used and so, the menu tells you where your rugelach comes from, it tells you where your meat is harvested from. it's a way of making the dinerfeel good, and i wanted to make the dinerfeel bad. so iraqi date syrup in the united states hasn't been labelled as "product of iraq" for years because it's been impossible to get it through customs without event, and so it says "product of lebanon" or weirdly enough, "product of netherlands", where i've never seen a date palm grow. and to be able to actually reveal, yo

david: subsequently president bush decided to invade iraq to topple saddam hussein.o in light of hindsight, had you known there were no weapons of mass destruction, would you have still gone forward? condoleezza: i say to people what you know today can affect what you do tomorrow, but not yesterday. we simply believed as all the intelligence agencies around the world did, that he had weapons of mass destruction and was reconstituting them quickly, and it was on that basis that we decided that you finally had to do what the international community had been threatening to do, to have serious consequences. in retrospect, i don't know if we had known what we would have done. i still think the world is better off without saddam hussein. he was a cancer in the region. while iraq went through an extraordinarily difficult time, and the thing i would do differently is how we rebuilt iraq. i think we made a lot of mistakes post war. i would rather be iraqi than syrian today. iraq has a chance to be a stabilizing element because they have an accountable government, the kurds an

we were fleeing oppression and dictatorship by the tyrannical regime of saddam hussein. we came here for the american dream for opportunity and democracy and absolutely that was realized for me and my family. that is the lens of how i have dictated my work and career and my mission to service. every day i grow up very much and realize how lucky i am to be here. a split-second decision and i would have still been in iraq. i am fortunate to be in this country to serve my kids and it is worth that sense of service that has almost given me a heightened antenna of justice because i grew up knowing what injustice was and what people in power could do to a vulnerable population and that has shaped who i am and my responsibility. >> especially the family history of saddam hussein. >> absolutely. my parents were part of the opposition movement and knew how evil that regime was and they tried to shine a light on what he was doing. it was because of their request for justice. >> host: you were involved in this issue. what were some of the defining moments before you decide to pursu

saddam hussein's support of jihadist terrorism. saddam was supporting them despite with the mainstream media said then. i would write these articles and occasionally get any mail from account, from a hotmail which he still has though it has been hacked a few times by terrorists and maybe by the seek -- cia. i would get the females and emails would be like, read your article. i think you are right about the stuff. have you looked at this? i would look at whatever the tip behold, it and advanced the argument. i would do reporting and right another story and it would appear in the magazine and i would get another email. that is interesting what you wrote. have you looked at this? this went on. i had gotten to know who tom was. he was a trained economist. heads working on doing big economist stuff and finally i said to him, after he sent me the 10th or 15th tip, why don't you write some of this for us? not much of a writer. he day. -- did. he started writing more and more and the next thing i know, we are waiting -- writing pieces toget

our particular concern is that saddam hussein may supply terrorists with biological chemical or radiological material while. that guy was really wrong he would he was more wrong than the guy who told disney to spend three hundred million on making john cargher words which was ultimately watched by seven people. if you include international nine people ok as you saw in that clip robert muller helped just go into iraq hell just kill a million people in iraq you know what i'm not going to take his word ever again that's what i've decided with rising already you want to do that in fact in fact i don't think anyone should trust that guy on anything even two years from allergies or even a retirement home and he tells his son where you have been an important. if i were his son i believe about they had tapioca i got to. remember the wm d. thing even though. so i love that hell of you all with your analysis of the situation moving on the inter-american court of human rights has ruled in support of julian assange. freedom say. saying he deserves relief and safe passage but that hasn't stopped the brit

and then to find saddam hussein. so i don't understand that was replete with the pinocchio's. that we tweet with misstatements and miss facts. that doesn't mean he's wrong. and then running for reelection. and then losing across the board but the new york times does spend a great deal of time to investigate even though the money is not there. it is like a fancy match with his tweets. >> and you find that interesting. i did not want to say it. but look, as we said in the beginning that i stopped watching cable television. we are in a country now there is no leverage for the new york times. we were taken seriously but admits of that rational judgment and you could take it to the bank but now nobody believes what anybody says the new york times or not. or msnbc or cnn. so unfortunately the times has joined in and i think they should back off a little bit. it just means for me, don't worry about what he says. two months ago this stuff happened. why did it take until somebody for children crying? and why worry about pruitt? he runs the epa believes he is entitled to whatever he is

having weapons of mass destruction, a key justification for the impending american invasion. >> saddam husseinhat iraq no longer has the weapons. >> kroft: it was a controversial interview, but events would prove that what saddam said about the weapons was correct.

one of them was the invasion of kuwait by saddam hussein.was to go around and get the coalition put together and also to raise the money to pay for it. was that hard to do? james: it is the first time it has ever been done. i tell people it was a textbook example of a way to fight a war. you tell the world what you will do, you get the world with you to do it, you go do exactly what you said and nothing more, nothing less, you bring the troops home, then you get other people to pay for it. that has never been done before. i don't know when it will be done again. that is the way to fight a war. david: the cold war ends during george bush's presidency. the berlin wall falls down. why did you not recommend george bush go over there to berlin and remind everybody we won the cold war? james: and dance on the wall. david: that's exactly right. james: this was president bush's decision. it was absolutely the right decision. he got a lot of grief for it. if he had gloated and been triumphant, we would never have been able to conclude what we were ab
