that was in the interest of the u.s. ms. garcia: they wanted european stability, to assist in the post economic recovery. these are all very good answers. at the end of the war, there were an estimated 10 million people left homeless and in some cases, stateless in europe alone. truman wanted to accommodate a greater share of the displaced persons in order to assist europe's postwar recovery. financial aid to the war-torn nations was not enough. the united states had a moral obligation to accept a number of the displaced persons in europe. yet congress resisted. even after americans became more fully aware of the horrors of the not see death camps, congress resisted. can anyone tell me why congress would have been so resistant at this time to accommodating displaced persons? anyone want to venture a guess? bear in mind that at this moment in time, the national origin quotas are still in place. admitting people outside of those national origin quotas was a highly controversial idea. when the displaced persons act finally passe

we continue to, the u.s. continues to, provide strike offensive capabilities were as we kind of take care of our defense. we do so partly because, i mean, that is what -- partly because of the japanese defense policy which basically is not -- we are not willing to possess offensive capabilities because it can be destabilizing in because the ban was aggressive in the passive war. at least, in the beginning just after the end of the war, it was not allowed to possess offensive capabilities and this has continued. we focus on air defense, submarine warfare, you know, in case of mine warfare, we undertake both offensive and defensive mine warfare of those things. what is new after the end of the cold war is the introduction of missile defense. but, even not, even that is we invest a lot of resources and defense which is basically defense-oriented capabilities. and also, another reason why we focus on defense is that we are close to the source of threat. you know, we are close to the soviet union, north korea, chin

you had the u.s. ambassador to buenos aires giving very strong messages about human rights, saying, we know there's trouble, but there are certain lines that civilized governments should never cross, and the kind of people, including vice president nelson rockefeller, here in washington. within the carter administration, you had the political officer in argentina, who personally maintained his own mails, and threw open the doors of the embassy to the families of the disappeared. and many say that those people saved their lives. and at the same time, there are others who are much more circumspect about how the united states, and whether the united states should distance itself, and whether we should be supporting moderates as oppose to hardliners, and the congressional efforts to cut off military aid. so i think there's a division. >> it's a complicated story, and a complicated past. we have barely scratched the surface. i want to thank my guests. that's the "inside story". join us tomorrow for a look a
