but unfortunately, israel was not a member of the w.e.o.g. in geneva, and therefore is effectively banned from many if not most u.n. organizations and agencies. my question is what is the u.s. doing to ensure that israel is granted full membership rights throughout the u.n. system? and then if there's time if you can give us a briefing on hezbollah rearming and what's going on in that part of the region. >> i'm sorry. i didn't hear -- >> what can be done with hezbollah and what the u.n. and the u.s. is doing to help prevent the flow of arms going that direction because it seems as though there's been a blind eye, so to speak, with the flow of arms toward hezbollah. and if you could clarify that, i'd appreciate that very much. >> okay. thank you. let me begin by coming back to unesco. >> yes. >> we need to ensure that the legislative and policy tools that we have and use meet the desired effect and hit their intended target. the intended target is in this instance not unesco the programs. not the united states vote and leadership, which has already fran

slim ok phil before i go into the break you want to jump in there respond to something that stephen said in geneva go right ahead. yeah i don't i mean it might not have been in the black letter of the security council debates or in the legal justifications given thaw the anglo american invasion of iraq but the idea that humanitarian intervention the responsibility to take had no role to play in iraq i think is deeply disingenuous and it systematically lowered the barriers there political barriers to man interventions of that kind and both george bush and tony blair repeatedly invoked the idea of overthrowing saddam's tyranny a very strong humanitarian argument that has been made in many other cases when military intervention has been launched in internal those men y. z. very made very clearly makes the case that he saw the intervention in iraq along the lines of the responsibility to present so i'm not sure that the streaks of legal criteria in relation to what happened in iraq are as important as the political question and the fact that it was politically legitimated on the grounds on largely hum

lawrence will be chosen by eisenhower in the summer of 1758 to represent the united states at the geneva talks on nuclear testing bull the lead to the test ban. a lot of people assume he went there to sabotage the talks. i think actually that he, and this is really from the evidence of people who were, there he was actually a believer in putting an end to nuclear testing. i think that he did undergo a kind of conversion experience, if you will, near the end of his life. but he was such a conflicted figure by this time that he comes -- he has another colitis attack. he comes back. he is operated on at stanford. they discover in the course of the operation that his circulatory system is basically compromised. and he dies of circulatory shock. just shortly thereafter. shock age of 57. next slide. this is my oppenheimer out to pasture picture. but oppenheimer does -- this is at his brother's ranch in colorado. and he does go. he's director for the institute of advanced study at princeton but doesn't take an activist role, doesn't speak out, very much in the background. next slide. and oppenh

the geneva conventions don't affect them. it makes it very difficult to deal with any kind of the intelligence areas when you're dealing with an enemy of our country but not a nation state. so that's something that we're all going to have to deal with, and i think -- i mean, i hope a realistic way. because i'm with senator graham on this. i think we need guantanamo bay. i think we need the ability to hold people that are suspected terrorists that have associations with al qaeda and other networks that deal with al qaeda, and i don't want us to give us our capability to protect our country from another attack from one of these entities that may not even be an organization yet. so i know you're wrestling with it. we are, too. but i'm going to come down on the side of protecting our people with an asymmetric war that we have. that's what we're given to deal with, and we've got to do it in a way that protects america. thank you. >> thank you very much, director mueller. colleagues, as director mueller has said, 60% of the fbi requ

i think we should tap into the energy that i see in geneva today. i've been very gratified on this issue by the broad bipartisan support that has been expressed in washington. i've seen no distinctions whatsoever between republicans and democrats in terms of what they think about the -- the concept of promoting services liberalization. so -- so i think we should get to work, continue the work that's going on. there's a meeting this week, the next round of discussions among the experts that are involved in this services discussion. i should mention one very positive sign. we will be joined in the friends group this week by two new additional members. costa rica and peru, two developing countries, approached the group about participating. we're very happy to welcome them into the discussion. we view them very much as being like-minded in terms of countries that have a demonstrated interest in services liberalization. so we're seeing a very positive dynamic here, and let's build on that as much as we can. >> all right. with that, ambassador punke, i wan

in where there was twenty five injured children and nine women this is a complete violation of the geneva convention and yet the world has stood by idly and hasn't even condemned us this israel will continue to attack and nobody will stand up against them until some major power stands up to israel and says enough is enough they want to continue their attacks and this is sadly the palestinians have to take the brunt of this so as you say this is in your words a continuation of israel's policy towards the palestinians along garza but if i may we're now seeing the worst violence in a year both sides are involved but how much political control is there of what's happening on the ground or is this violence perhaps just out of control. all the factions here are actually fire rockets but there was a lot in their rocket fire last night and then once again it was israel then they start to look back up by. targeting civilian buildings and stations this is just ludicrous it's israel this continues to escalate this this violence if they start then you will find that the palestinians will start firing

the geneva accords of 1954 will partition or divide, depends on your point of view, vietnam. this will end the french involvement. here the communist powers actually pressure the north vietnamese in taking this deal. this err' not as interested in having it as the others. they convinced them, take it. south vietnam is weak. it's going to fall very, very quickly anyway. so the north buys on it. they take the deal. you see a massive transfer of populations from the north and the south in this group, particularly catholics leaving north vietnam and going to south vietnam. the north vietnamese regime at this point will enter a period of stabilization and consolidation in some respects. now from 1954 to 1959 the north concentrated on building its structures and building the regime of north vietnam. ho does some very typical way the communists did this when they first took over a place. you suppress all the groups in the country that aren't aligned with you. you begin the traditional communist practice of murdering any real opponents and also any someone's that you imagine to be opp

an interesting development the naacp flew to geneva the leadership flew to geneva to ask that the u.nrights council look at something going on in america and that had to do with voter identification. 31 states passed voter identification laws. 72% of the american people support the laws but there are 17 states am i right, job bob, that have under the justice department rules the justice department can challenge those. what do you think about the naacp asking the human rights council especially when you have countries such as saudi, cuba, venezuela and those countries can't bring themselves to -- the human rights council doesn't condemn any human rights in those countries. do ho you think this he have a role to play in looking at american voter registration laws. >> this is the idea of us being subjected to international law. we are bound by the laws of the united states of america, not by the u.n. telling us what we should do with respect to our individual states and voter id laws. this is about trying to shame us. more of the overall kind of huberous of the administration that encour
