know what a frickin baby got these diapers changed now i want to end on one little quote here from socrates because we're doing all these history lessons of going back in history to carthage and of course afghans on fire was in the news and it really fits in with these themes that we've been talking about today at his trial when socrates was asked to propose his own punishment he suggested a wage paid by the government and free dinners for the rest of his life instead of the death sentence which he received well as a philosopher and i think it's interesting that even two and a half thousand years ago this was still an issue of who gets the free lunch and a government salary on one hand people want it but as socrates is perhaps suggesting it's also a punishment goldman sachs went around that would have created hemlock futures and forced him to buy into fifty trillion dollars worth of beyond collateralized hemlock futures contracts anyone have gone bankrupt and kill themselves anyway all right stacy ever thanks so much for being on the kaiser report q. manx don't go away much more coming away

very much in the way socrates was a religious figure.f course in the way socrates took the hemlock, martin took the bullet. but in both cases it's a question of wiping out a man who spoke truth to power and who was not much liked for it. he is a deeply interesting figure because he covered so much ground. there is the intellectual martin who wasn't simply engaged in a study of theology. as someone who took pleasure in ideas and i don't speak as someone who knew him intimately. i have met and spoken to him once and that was at fisk. in the middle of the montgomery business he came up and stayed with us for a few days. hanging loose a bit. we had quite a few discussions and the impression he made on me has stayed with me. you must understand so many of us in the south have tended to be suspicious of preachers.

of the four hundred than the revolution the forty people got so upset when they said no thanks mr socrates drink your hemlock commit suicide the romans you know sounds like a good idea but only if you live in rome can you vote in only if you're roman citizen and so is the empire spread all over europe is very small number of people who are actually voting the catholic church was asked this question can people govern themselves so this is the essential question of the of the assemblies can people govern themselves. and their answer was catholic church his answer was no only god can govern us and since he's not shown up too often the the pope will speak through him and then of course you've got kingdoms which actually were always started by warlords and those warlords you know were ruling by power again they were saying no show guns and emperors you know in japan and in china for example the mayans the aztecs the you had kingdoms all of this stuff all through history everybody said no people can't people can't govern themselves that was the core belief which is the core conservative belief t

you have to deal with that socratic element in martin. there is obviously the attraction toward gandhi, you know, in terms of what he had achieved and the spiritual strength that enabled that achievement. it's important but also implicit in martin and there is appreciation of this movement in human terms that far transcended the case. >> i would guess mays, thurman and king all felt gandhi would be in paradise. that he didn't have to do anything else to be saved to get into paradise. which means they are looking at -- >> it's the same sort of thing. >> i think so. i think your comment on ethics is right on. because, for maze, god has to be an ethical force in the world and, you know, you've got to look at the 20th century. great moment in the 20th century is 1917, the russian revolution. and will the world go into a violent revolution such as russia was and a civil war or is there another methodology? and one of the things i was struck by is that at howard at the school of religion was the center of this talk about gandhi. between mortech

that's where you have to defer to that socratic element in martin. there is obviously the attraction toward gandhi, you know, in terms of what he had achieved and the spiritual strength that enabled that achievement. it's terribly important. but also implicit in martin and there is appreciation of this movement in human terms that far transcended the indian case.

or in the direction of sock ra tease -- socrates survivor. with a world altering conflict since september 11, we are in the throes of a battle ripple effect. victor davis hanson weighs in on how the past may be shaping our future. please welcome victor davis hanson. >> thank you. i always like to come back to santa cruise where i spent four tumultuous years as an under graduate. "ripples of battle" is part of an ongoing effort to reclaim the value of military history. and i'm trying to resonate with an audience the greek's idea of history is not just the recording of things in the past. that seems to be what is the history of the sitcom or history of the footnote or history of the brawl. but recording or memory of things that were preeminent in the past. in the greek sense it's wars and politics. so i wanted to write about war, but in a different way. most military histories look at the strategic consequences of conflict or the tactical ramfications of how battles work on an operational level. i was interested in how battles affects all of us

socrates was 46old. it is mentioned three times in plato's works. plato resonates in the laws and the republic about the battle and delium. plato was only three or four years old at the time. and plato said he was looking at career in politics or poetry. and there was the tactical birth of what i would call articulation or battle was not two phalanxes colliding but reserves the use of cavalry the precursor to alexander the great took place in this battle. if you look at a battle not as what did dot to effect the outcome of a war or how many people fought and how many people. but try to see individuals and see how that experience changed art and literature you get a different impression of military history which brings us to the third and the one i want to talk about for a few minutes. that is the battle of shiloh. we don't hear nearly as much as shiloh. we hear cold harbor, antietam and gettysburg. but shiloh was a critical battle. i will just give you a brief idea that on april 6 and 7, 1862 for maybe the one and only time of this young at that tim
