but shah says it can work. he cites haiti as a model. >> many of our ngo partners and others who had previously been sometimes nervous about working with the military came back and said, wow, they were, they were great to work with, they were so responsive to our needs and the needs of local communities and they were really there to serve. and i'm just very proud of the way american men and women in the armed services conducted themselves in haiti, and they made us all proud. >> reporter: is there a concern, though, about the perception of the u.s. humanitarian arm too linked with the military side? >> i don't think we should be concerned about perceptions. i think we should be concerned about results and outcomes, and at times of crisis we will turn to whomever we can, whenever we can, to help save lives and protect people. >> reporter: shah says in an era of budget cutting, u.s. faith leaders from across the religious and political spectrum have played an important role lobbying congress to keep funding for p

because the shah of iran was one of our guys it's not ok for the iran to have nuclear weapons no and islamic republic so there is hypocrisy there it was ok for a nuclear program well when the going was good for the good for the west and i think again one of the reasons why the americans are still annoyed with iran is that these remember the humiliation of the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution which knocked one of. the shah of iran and the occupation of the iranian embassy in the holding hostage of its staff and the way president then president jimmy carter was humiliated by that incident they have never had payback for that and the americans will wait a long time but they will always wait and get paid back and i think that's why again one of the reasons driving on driving on the white house and in washington and washington ministration because they want revenge on a islamic republic because they feel they've never had it was events all thirty three years ago or so there are a lot of issues here so i don't blame iran i blame the americans and the israelis for ratcheting this up

>> shah: today is... both in consumption of jewelry, as well as physical bars and coins. >> pitts: in recent years, india's demand for gold accounted for 32% of the world's gold market. that's four times the demand in all of north america. almost all of india's gold is imported. indian mines produce less than 1% of the world's supply. the rising price of gold over the past decade sent indians rushing to buy more before prices went even higher. most indians believe that the value of gold will keep increasing. >> shah: indeed, and that has... >> pitts: but the reality is, it can't, right? at some point, it will slow down, it will stop, it will, god forbid, lose some value, yes? >> shah: try explaining that to an indian. ( laughter ) it's impossible to tell an indian consumer that the gold prices will fall tomorrow, because there is such a strong belief, and this belief has been backed by its own performance. >> chauhan: you're dealing with tradition. you're dealing with culture. you're dealing with history.

who was backed by israeli and american regimes and frankly you know the shah for example the secret police were largely trained by israelis and american so there's a lot of antipathy to the regimes the governments. abroad because of that but it comes to the american people i mean i never once felt any kind of danger or threat from the iranian people very sophisticated very much like americans my first instinct and i still believe this is that iranians israelis and americans will become good friends again as they were historically you know until the overthrow of the shah and then the iraq iran war where they'll forget that iraq was being support sponsor of saddam hussein was being sponsored by the americans against the iranians so there is you know there was a lot of anger this is a long this is a protracted it your conflict that killed many iranians and so the fact that they're still as calm as they are and sophisticated in this regard goes to show that we can deal with these people i mean i had great conversations with many politicians including one of the top advisers to the supre

was there the shah basically is a proxy or a puppet or a client of the american power. so the u.s. says they're not carrying out regime change but in fact everyone who is watching knows that indeed is the u.s. policy to create pressure on iran carry out overt operate covert operations economic sanctions and now these new sanctions are not really even a like the old saying they are saying to the rest of the world if you dare do business with iran central bank if you buy iranian oil which constitutes half of iran's g.n.p. if you have any business with iran whatsoever you will not have access to american banks to american corporations to the american market this is in fact a blockade something like an economic blockade of iran and by international law in economic blockade is an act of war and so we should understand it just like that so what do you think iran's response is going to be well iran so far has been very prudent even though they said that they would consider closing the strait of hormuz that six mile stretch of the persian arabian gulf where twenty five percent

it led to a regime that was based on shah reea law with 72% of the seats in the lower house and egypt now occupied by the brotherhood. and even more radical party. the last year what happened? because of the persecution, over 100,000 christians had to flee egypt. the israeli embassy was overrun. there are calls now for ending the 30-year peace treaty between egypt and israel. and the spread of radical islam is not confined to egypt. the rise of political islam has brought shah reea law to tunisia and al qaeda to libya as i warned during the presidential race earlier this year. not exactly your ronald reagan foreign policy success story. obama's miscalculations are changing history. they are now on the verge of a nuclear run. they are at the epicenter of global jihad. that explains the commitment to developing nuclear weapons. as the ultimate expression of imposing their will on the world. and failing to appreciate iran's deadly nuclear goal, obama has chosen the rong siwrong side onn because he ignored the true democracy movement in iran. that's our best hope of defeating iran with de
