the only time he seen intervention working are in small places like kosovo or the balkans for sierra leone at large countries.e >> they were more contained. >> you can look at that and say this is in gray. the other problem is that the united states is seemingly unaware of the perception of its own power. united leaders have got big mouth and they talk a big talk and when they talk the talk you can expect them to act. the first happened in iraq in 1991 when george w. bush said we will come and help you.rians hae that's exactly have the syrians have been treated. they called him bashar al-assads to stand down. he and his advisers seem to think this was policy and it was the right thing to do. what was interesting is the day after he made that statement he went on vacation for two weeks. this is not someone that was going in war footing but if youn spoke to syria for time and regional powers they think a regime change is not u.s. policv so they calculated a massive uptake in people taking up arms in syria. it was already happening but there was a point when united states would come and help

2016, more than 11,000 people died from the wildly contagious ebola virus which ravage liberia, sierra leone spain and the united states. then as the mosquito-borne zika virus which the department of defense estimates infected at least 170,000 individuals in the western hemisphere since 2015. zika has been linked to the birth defect microcephaly and it remains a significant enduring public health challenge requiring intense action. one only needs to look back to 1918 when the spanish flu pandemic killed an estimated 50 million people around the globe. in many ways we're more vulnerable today. densely packed cities, wars, natural disasters and international -- mean a deadly virus propagated in a small region in africa can be transmitted almost anywhere in the world, including the united states within 24 hours. i haven't even touched upon the potential for bioterrorism. according to daniel ger stein of rand, biological weapons are now within the reach of many rogue nations and possibly terrorist groups. which is to say a budget based on america first is shortsighted and won't help the u.s. sta

i was in sierra leone and liberia in early 2000. people thought that was hell on earth and it was. it was. but two years after the end of the war, i was standing in free throwtown, with colleagues from different areas and you didn't feel like you were in a place of war. people stepped in. there was reconciliation process. there was accountability. there was leadership. and i think on that note, i think one of the things, the thing that's lacking the most right now for me is the political will to step up and take a leadership position. because all the elements are there. and this is something that we can do. it is an incredibly complicated situation. it's a very sad and tragic situation that is getting worse by the day. but this isn't the first time that this has happened. and we've seen when we could get together and take action and unify -- in a unified manner we can bring about resolution of these problems. >> excellent, thank you for that, steve. it's only fitting that we close with our south sudanese panelist, mario. closing thoughts. u.s. actually love the bestrt, there's one

with regard to ebola, you might be recall that in west africa in liberia and sierra leone they had 28,000 case and 11,000 deaths. if that had gone beyond those borders to places like mali or nigeria it could have been a greater catastrophe and when affected individuals went to mali and went to nigeria it didn't make much press because it was a success, but the investigators in those countries were able to handle, identify, isolate, contact trace and stop it in those countries before it started particularly in nigeria which is the most populus country in africa. each of those individuals were people who were trained at the foe gerty international center. we look upon them as our true colleagues. i referred to them and i mean that sin seller as our brothers and sisters in the battle of infectious disease. if this were a met for of a military thing they would be our line of scrimmagest allies. they wear maybe a different uniform but they are our allies. the impact of the training has been extraordinary and we really need to continue. >>> another area, the establishment of the national instit
